You are a Raiders fan right?

Sticky will sort him out like his friend bj leuila

By the end of his contract it probably won't be overs. Unfortunately, as you just saw, we don't have the luxury of paying him that now and waiting til he earns it. We had a similar call to make on Sione Mata'utia, and we went the other way with it and kept him. While he is the best of his brothers and is still only 19, we are suffering big time paying him $500k+ at the moment. All based on potential. Tapine would have put us in a similar bind, and we just can't keep doing it forever.

It's really a combination of all things, the TPA situation roughs us up hard, and then we gamble, and we gamble poorly... so that bites us too. A smart operator might be able to get us to 6th-12th sort of finishes within a few years. That will be our peak until we can unlock the TPA puzzle.

Gagai got us as well. We panicked we were going to lose our only genuine Origin player and paid massive overs for an utter waste of space...

He did, yep. I think we offered him nearly double the Broncos offer, and no doubt the Broncos had some of theirs lined up as 3rd party too.

Poor economics, but the alternative is just have no good players at the club for more than a year or 2

If a club can buy a player for 600k but not have all that come out the salary cap than for the knights to compete they need to offer more but have it all taken out the cap.

Remember how the difference between the top team and the bottom side in tpas is over a million dollars. Well thats a lot of pressure taken off one teams salary cap.,

I dont know why you came waddling in butthurt btw. Perverse didnt slander the sacred broncos. He said the raiders could pay more for tapine because he believes (and he might be right) that the raiders are able to top up his contract.

Now if the nrl just published what the salary and tpa situation for all clubs were we wouldnt be guessing and poor bronco fans wouldn't have to act paranoid when a knights fan doesnt even mention the club.

He didn't mention the Bronco you first class dolt.
f**k off you peasant.

 

[THE CHAMP]

It's reasonable that a Broncos fan can't comprehend what we're talking about (although, to me it's basic maths). They've never experienced it first hand, even at their worst.

Again he did not mention the Broncos you stupid insolent peasant.

 

[Pete Cash]

lmao good one clown shoes.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Broncos young players Jayden nimorima - chooks, parcell - manly and ash taylor - titans.
Don't give me this develop players for other clubs bullshit

 

[THE CHAMP]

Do what you're told peasant or it's the gallows.
