Why do the Roosters have Firman?
Cause we had to offer him a chance to play elsewhere because of the cap.
Paying Rep honours to:
Barrett
Bailey
Ryles
Timmins
Gasnier
Hornby
Might not be as many as the Chooks, but you've only got Gus to thank for that.
Honestly, it is a running joke amongst league fans how the roosters can keep so many rep players they've bought under the cap.
Listen to 2sm in the arvos to hear people's views.

We lsot a stack of players after Blacklock, Gasnier and Ryles were picked to play for Australia by Chris Anderson a few years ago.

Yet the more Roosters players get picked in Rep Games, the more they can buy.

Go Figure.

Not hard when dumb clubs like Saints are paying for them.

LOL, Melon... Stgilla gets you wound up every time. You could be an extra on Rex Hunt's Fishing World, the amount of times you take his bait :lol:

Are any of us privvy to what amount Firman's signed for?? If it's the same or more, doesn't it mean that Saints paying nothing??

Cheers,
Ben S.

 

[Roosterphin]

oh now add firman to that list of players they have developed and also jamie peacock. But he'll play for $150,000, $50,000 less than morley, because he loves Australia.


Also because he'll have an apartment at coogee bought for him as well probably.

So explain how the Panthers are keeping all their premiership winning , SOO playing side??

And while your at it explain why you breached the cap last year?

Loser!

eeeerrrrrrrr Dererrrr..

Most of their side is Juniors..

Not Global United.

What like the MOM in the GF Priddis.....nope
Like their leading tryscorer Wesser....nope
Like their front rowers and second rowers Lang, Clinton, Ross, Gulavao,Puletua....nope again
Like Preston Campbell...Nope!

Your point was????

Ironic that of the thousand Roosters that are rep players only 1(?) of them are an Easts junior: Ricko.
Just wait until Ricky "develops" Firmo so much that the SOO coach is so impressed that Firmo get's picked as halfback.
Oh yeah, Ricky will be the SOO coach, Firmo will play cheaperfor the honour of being a rooster, and no-one else will have a shot of buying a SOO quality halfback.
Thus the chooks retain all personel yet again.

If the little Mercury story is accurate, IF, then Saints dont look as dumb do they? But their supporters still do, because to come to the conclusion Easts are going to be over the cap or how can Easts sign Firman, you really need to KNOW who is OFF CONTRACT at Easts.

Robinson
Cross
Cusack
Lester
Dorn
Phillips
Catic

for starters.

Now see if you can put the peas in your head to motion and figure..."Are Easts going to retain all these off contract players?" Therein lies your answer. My guess is Cross will go, Cusack maybe, Lester and Dorn Goodbye. Possibly phillips. Catic or Cusack will stay but I think only 1 of them. Add to that Fittler's dollars and Id say we can pay for Firman and stay under the cap....assuming the Mercury is accurate. Otherwise, Saints can prepare their chequebooks.

The big mistake many Mongo's make is they assume Easts will retain all their players without knowing who is off contract.

Change the record mate...this ones getting boring. :blahb:

 

[taxidriver]

If things are so tough Nick, then how have you just signed a player for a six figure sum ??

 

[DJ1]

14 players with rep experience I believe.

Compared to the Dogs???

1. Patten
2. El Mazri
3. Tonga
4. Utai
5. Anasta
6. Sherwin
7. Ryan
8. Mason
9. Price
10. O'Meley

And thats just off the top of my head...so whats the point your making again?

That not only do you have 40% more rep players than the Bulldogs but you keep signing first graders.

 

[taxidriver]

Once again Lemon, shown up for the fool you are.

Out comes the freed up dollars from Cross and Fittler, when for the last 2 years it's been talk of dramatically reduced contracts, play now pay later deals with people like Walker, and using all the Fittler freed funds to top up the existing contracts.

Then howls at being unable to re-sign Ricketson

Then re-signing Ricketson

Then signing Firman

Now talk of Peacock

Melon, Melon, Melon..

I got no doubt the Roosters will have money to spend, mostly because of Fitlers signature alone.

I said so.. there is 300k just there.. they just on Firmans signature alone still have another possibly 150k..
Im not counting who they don't sign up from their own books. They still have not Taken out Fitlers yet.. Have you signed Peacock yet ?

If you have, he would be on what.. #130,000 pounds in England Convert that to $370,000 Australian.

 

[DJ1]

Minichiello
Walker
Cross
Hegarty
Hodges
Fittler
Finch
Flannery
Ricketson
Fitzgibbon
Morely
Cayless
Wing
Crocker


Any others?

 

[Eels Dude]

Unfortunately the Roosters, who are losing their highest paid player to retirement at the end of the year to retirement, are having trouble fitting all their players under the cap. They may have to do the unthinkable and let players go like every other club.

No way! Court challenge coming up if the NRL don't raise the cap.

I bet the cap gets raised.
