MON and our recruitment manager doing their jobs
For the more than once time, salaries are signed off and agreed by the Chairman, CEO and HoF who all have accounting backgrounds. If the cap is out of kilter, it’s back to them, our accountants are obviously worse than those at other clubs.
I suppose we are anticipating upgrading some youngsters. Which of them deserve it? Sanders? Jake Arthur was going much better in reserve grade at the same age.
Pff... they're already playing above their ages, according to you (when making #pouexcuses).
Who says our cap is 'out of kilter'? We have a solid team, the accountants have done their job. Players out of form or injured isn't their fault. I would be blaming the coaching staff before them.
No it isn't. Those blokes would be on minimum salary. They are no more important than the players on development contracts playing reserve grade. It's not like we don't have any spots left in the top 30 or cap space for them. These are players are all backups. They are interchangeable. They certainly don't decide your season.
With the same salary cap as every (most) other club, how good a team should you be able to put together? If you're paying a player $1M that is one twelfth of the salary cap. It should f**king hurt when he's unavailable. You certainly shouldn't be able to afford to bring on a like-for-like replacement. Anyone that good should be on $1M at another club.
they must have to move Laui to halfback right? And play a 18 year old at 5/8? As they can't afford to have first grader playing in CUP.
The more you’re paying your backups the less you have to pay your first graders. That’s how the cap works. It is zero sum.
One the club is trying to get rid of.
Well they are being paid a full time salary. Just like the blokes at the bottom of the top 30. They can all be picked in first grade. The only difference these days is that they’re paid from a different pool of money.
They didn’t look very good against Manly.Wonder how hurt Penrith are with Cleary out making 1.2 mill A season
I’m sure we can all agree Penrith have figured out how to beat the salary cap. It happened sometime after Maloney spilled the beans on that Keno TPA the NRL didn’t like.
Don’t even mention Penrith in the same breath as other clubs. Their use of the salary cap is so good they could afford to bring back the failed coach they previously sacked, who had spent thirteen years failing all over the NRL.
Yet it’s allowed and some enable him.
This.They would be on minimum salary? Have you asked them or are you assuming?
What backup is playing in RMC if they are a top 30 contracted player?
How are they important as a development contracted player?
Wonder how hurt Penrith are with Cleary out making 1.2 mill A season
Then I assume they can't afford decent centres or wingers now JFH is on 800k a season?
Definately can't have a decent hooker if they are paying almost a million for their lock?
Let's forget they just resigned a centre to solely be a backup for another season so he is just playing CUP. Who wants to sign at a club to be a backup? They can't be very good if they are a backup....
Bernie Gurr and BA signed the players that made us a force. Gurr leaves and Saratinos and ONeil get appointed , and we become very cap compliant and somehow become less attractive to prospective signings. It’s not something that can be ignored, and that’s what I don’t understand, the pile on to the coach which is a given in some respects, but the construction of the roster and the obvious failings have been swept to one side. Crazy.
