Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XX

[hineyrulz]

I seriously doubt we have upgraded Folau to 250k a season, especially when we are paying just about the best winger in the comp in Semi that sort of money.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

$250k is certainly believable, though it means we won't get much value out of him. He might even be worth that much by the end of this year. How confident are you in that figure?

That's what I read, not saying it is fact.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

mate if he hadn't been confident in it he would never have made it up in the first place.

f u.......

 

[Mr Pmatta]

The $250k that Mr Pmatta could have heard is possibly over the 2 years so it could be an average of $125k per year.

Could be.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Some of u are far too seriouse on this sight, I did not say this figure was written "in stone" , honestly some of u just want to argue for the sake of it, no wonder so many forumites no longer post on here.

 

[Twizzle]

I find it very difficult to believe he would be on $250K, if that were the case we would be paying for potential, not form and I dont beleive BA would do that

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There's always an element of paying for potential because potential is part of a player's value. It's unavoidable.

 

[Twizzle]

Its not unavoidable, its a decision you make and I dont beleive we made it

 

[Bandwagon]

In contracting a player based upon potential, common sense would dictate the club would pay less than what they believe that potential would likely be worth once realised.

It's always a gamble, the wisdom of doing so can only be proven by having got more right than wrong. Future stars are almost always signed on their potential, unfortunately so are future flops.

I think plu means that because you always agree a player's value in advance under a contract system, you are always forced to pay them according to how you hope/expect them to perform and develop.

So even Kieran Foran to some extent is being signed for his potential to be one of the game's premier playmakers for the next four years.

Lol.

If you never pay for potential then you're only ever signing players at their peak, including youngsters with no potential for improvement.

Spot on. There's always a risk. The alternative is to never take a risk, which would mean you miss out on plenty of bargains.

PARRAMATTA have emerged as the new favourites to sign Newcastle hard man Beau Scott.
The Broncos, with Wayne Bennett a close ally of Scott’s, were in the box seat to pick up the Blues enforcer in recent weeks.
But the Eels have weighed in with a solid offer and it is one the Broncos will struggle to match given the make-up of their salary cap.
Eels coach Brad Arthur loves an aggressive forward pack and Scott is seen as the perfect foil for the likes of Anthony Watmough and Manu Ma’u.
The deal is a long way from done but it’s looking increasingly like Scott will leave the Knights - and be in blue and gold next season.

As soneone who loves seeing aggressive forward packs tear opponents to shreds, that is music to my ears.
