sydraider said:I read a lil tidbit somewhere that wiki was only getting offered 150k from the raiders, where as he is getting offered 300k per season from other clubs. The reason being that he now has become somewhat a liability, not with injury but with the judiciary. Look i want muss to stay as much as anyone else but seriously, he has been nailed for 7 weeks so far this season. He is the heart and soul of our team, it has been proven time and time again. It is the future we must think about here. Im in 2 minds, i would love to see wiki stay but on the other hand i can sort of see where the management is coming from.
Loosing him kills me FULLSTOP .. its the Stuart/Clyde episode all over again.Raider_69 said:i agree
if we lost him to another NRL club, watching him play against us would kill me
in the ESL i wouldnt have to watch him play against canberra
Sydraider .... if he was that much of "a liability" why are other clubs willing to dish out $300K !!!
If what you say is true (re Raiders only offering $150K) it pretty well sums up the reasons behind my "negativity" towards them in this forum

He is a top player and a better bloke, i hope it dosnt come to that, he deserves to finish his fine career at the one club, if management arnt doing all in their power to re-sign him ill call for heads
but all in their power shouldnt be stuffing us for the future and i dont think rubes himself would want that
We can rebuild from Ruben and if we have to let's do it now rather than with a reduced salary cap in 2006 because of deferred payments. That said, management should be doing EVERYTHING they possibly can to keep him in green, but if he is interested in the big money from England for his family's sake well... what can you do? But if we lose him to another NRL club it is a bleeding disgrace.

This is the point I have made in previous posts. If Wiki is being offered ridiculous amounts of money, it may hurt us to let him go and we will probably struggle next year. However, I would rather that than keeping him for but one more year and then having a crippling salary cap crisis in 2006, with the effect rippling on for seasons after.

Now using I Bleed Green's reasoning ... but hey, wait till game day ... it hasnt started yet so mabe Elliot will drop him and everyithing will be good :lol: :lol: :lol:sydraider said:What i dont get is, we are looking to rebuild in the fourth year of a five year plan :?
Management should be looking at more than just player retention.
The obvious thing that should be mentioned here is that bulgarelli is still in the team this week........... need i say more.
