BA refused to meet Haynes asking price apparently, he refused to meet Peats asking price apparently!! He refused to meet Vaughans asking price apparently!! He apparently refused to meet Dargan asking price!! Etc etc etc

BA appears to have a certain value for players which he sticks too.

So I have no idea why he would suddenly pay Mannah elite money like some have mentioned.

Maybe Timmy asked for a million.

I can only guess that Sookeel finds it therapeutic to deal with every possible down-side of the club's decisions. And (I say this in absolute good faith) if it helps him....well fair enough. The rest of us, of course, can just tell him to 'get f**ked' (in good humour).
It's all part of the rich fabric of this wonderful forum.

Isn't it obvious?
We couldn't offer those players what they wanted because Mannah is taking up all of the moneys!

Such a greedy merkin.

I broke my wrist once.
Healed in 6 weeks.

His looked way worse though, so I'm guessing a much longer recovery than that.

That's a very good question. Where is the demand that would've pushed Mannah's price so high? He's probably getting paid more than he's worth as a player (for off field activities and leadership) but no f**king way is he on more than $500k.

It's an inconsistent narrative some merkins want to push. We have a very competitive team (proving the salary cap is well managed) yet we're so poorly managed that we've paid significant overs to one particular player? One who is a known quantity at that. It's as dumb as the idea that we paid overs for everybody EXCEPT Jarryd f**king Hayne back in the wooden spoon years.
I have heard it is north of $600k. I can't say it is true it is just what I have heard. Anyway, if true, I was truly shocked as I thought his pay would be less than $300k. And on Hayne he was worth every penny he was paid by Parra, now he is not. But that could change next year, he may have lost a bit of speed but is still a very skilful player.
