It doesn’t. The only thing that does is a media article speculating on salaries, and that specifically says his salary at the time was paid by two clubs.
We also have the CEO quoting that offloading Waqa will help with managing their cap into the future and Phil Gould providing this statement upon his re-signing to the Panthers in 2018:

“Waqa is fast developing into one of the most dangerous attacking players in the NRL

“We firmly believe he is a representative player of the future and we are excited to know he will be with us for at least the next five seasons.”

He’s not signing on chump change for 5 years if they’re expecting him to be a star representative player of the future.

So does this prove that Kane Evans was signed as a depth player just because Brad Arthur said it was so? Media statements made about people are always gushing and rarely reflect reality. Merkins are overly nice about each other, like on LinkedIn.

Here's Danny Buderus calling Luke Brooks a great player: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...e/news-story/d5853d48ce3a361639a074f0ea7c2f9a

The fact is the Panthers actions don't match their words. If Blake was such a valuable player why were they trying to get rid of him within 12 months? If they had all these young outside backs coming through why would they pay overs for this one? The fact he signed for five years means it's more likely that they got him cheaper, since he had that guaranteed security.

We have Lane, Matherson, Paulo, Cartwright, and now Hopgood, who are all adept at off-loading. We can play another style.
Right, so when they offload it is actually low risk. The first three at least. I still poo a little when Cartwright gets the arm free in traffic. Hopgood hasn't been doing it long enough for me to decide either way.

What the f**k does ANY of that have to do with discussing our Round 8 game in Darwin, you gibberer? People are only replying to watch you keep tying yourself in knots 😂.

:poo::poo:😤 = :rabbit2:

Maybe just park your shitty stats and irrelevant posts in a separate thread/blog, and people who give two f**ks can read it and reply to you in there...

Take it to the whinging thread. I get it, people are disagreeing with me en masse and it's making you feel brave being part of something. But they still know you're a piece of shit. You seem to think this discussion has elevated you somehow. Don't kid yourself. You won't be redeemed by cyber bullying.

Pretending like you can read people's minds and motivations is about as successful as your use of stupid stats...

You should be able to tell I don't care whether or not I'm part of something - just remember I was the first (on here and in this thread) to call you out on your regular obvious bullshit.

And calling you out on your obvious bullshit arguments you start in threads isn't cyber bullying or anything close to it... You must be getting desperate now... are you ok? Maybe it's time to take a break :hugging:

Calling me out on my mental health too I see. I'm happy for you (or anyone else) to disagree, but when you give up on your argument and resort to the ad hominem stuff I have to put you in your place. You are a shit human being. I'd rather not have to point it out, but who the f**k are you to go out of your way to attack me? Either engage with the arguments or ignore me you clueless self-absorbed prick.

Not calling out your mental health, but asking you about your mental health and suggesting a remedy (time out) if needed... There's a difference, but your forum posts (about any topic) are so argumentative that you may not realise and you automatically choose to pick the fight.

I don't go out of my way to attack you - anyone that posts bullshit stat wankery in a game discussion thread will get called out for it here, by me or someone else. It's o different to you claiming other Parra fans here are "idiots/morons" that you feel a need to "educate" by posting the usual post-game utter nonsense that doesn't actually add up.

If you are experiencing mental health then there is a very supportive thread here which would welcome your honesty and disclosure. Otherwise, maybe don't dish out what you can't take? If someone engaging with and dismissing your opinions and supposed supporting stats is a big issue to you, you can always ignore me, and I will no longer see or be able to reply to your future posts.

No actually many people have chosen to engage in good faith. You even claimed to understand their motives. A couple of them have made lol statsboy comments but you have continued to go out of your way to attack me personally.

Yeah... nah. I just have a different opinion of the value of the stats you typically post and have posted in this game discussion thread, and reply to the relevance of them accordingly. Something you routinely do in your replies to others whenever you claim your posts are made to "educate" the "morons" and "idiots" on here. But yeah, victim mentality (or something else?) means you get to believe you're somehow being attacked.

As above... if you are experiencing mental health then there is a very supportive thread here which would welcome your honesty and disclosure. Otherwise, maybe don't dish out what you can't take? If someone engaging with and dismissing your opinions and supposed supporting stats is a big issue to you, you can always ignore me, and I will no longer see or be able to reply to your future posts.

No it's you repeatedly replying to me with personal attacks that leads me to believe you are attacking me personally. Not anyone else, just you. Others have called you out on it before. But here you are chasing me around and demanding I don't reply to other posters in this thread. If merkins don't want to engage they'll stop. If they're still enjoying the discussion they won't, whatever the reasons. It's not really any of your business.

Yeah you already said this. Repeating it over and over constitutes ridicule on mental health grounds. No different to making fun of me for gayness (in the anus), whether I am a homosexual or not. The point is that you are positioning it as something to be ashamed of. If there are indeed mentally ill (or gay) people reading this then your attack on this characteristic is an attack on them. Maybe put the amateur diagnosis away hey?
