Why weren't STHS able to sign Roberts???
They offered,apparently,a lot more money.
Yet he chose to go to the BRONCOS to play under Bennett.
Jeremy Donovan said he felt more at ease at the Broncs where Bennett is going to give him a free rein to weave his own magic;ala Steve Renouf!!
He wouldn't have had that freedom under MAJ & I reckon that's played a significant part in his decision to reject us.
Please , I get the drift you are concerned about Madge approach and mention this more than once.Your opinion and you are welcome to it , However , on Roberts
1) the decision was Sydney vs Brisbane , which in my view is a major lifestyle choice and with new family in process , a key decision for Roberts and his young wife.As he now lives up there , i can understand why staying there if he is settled was easier choice at the moment.
2) Roberts already decided , if he came back to Sydney , it would be with Souths. So this gets rid of your Madge ideas.
3) who says Souths offered more than Brisbane ? You believe the Brisbane spin ? come on , we will have NO idea how much was really offered by either club when you consider the sneaky TPA. So do not make statements you cannot prove.
4) Even if Souths and Brisbane offer was the same $$ wise , Sydney is a much more expensive city to live in due to housing costs alone.
