What's so funny about re-signing Pearce and SKD?
Both been at the club since they were youngsters and love the club, losing them would've been a travesty. Pearce is always the last to leave, hangs round the club and up for a chat anytime. Skidsy is the same, both live and hang out around the area.
Clubmen like these are what you build your culture around, both are 22 and 23 respectively. Paying overs for youngsters that you can build a squad around is part and parcel of the game especially ones that were in such high demand... it's the risk you take to reap the rewards in the future.
Throw in Kennedy, Tasi, Moga, Friend, Masoe, JWH, Cordner, Leilua, Symonds and Cherrington as others we're paying overs for... and proud of it.
For someone who is so against clubs who 'poach' you're either really ignorant to believe that youngsters aren't going to receive overs in the early parts of their career or you're just a hypocrite who's incapable of following through on his beliefs. I'm tipping the latter.
The most interesting thing is that Shaun knocked back the Bulldogs bigger offer this year to stay at the Roosters... ;-) (Chris Lawrence too)
