There is only one LSPA per club so regardless what Bazal says if Mannah is on $600k+ he is still taking $300k+ off the cap. Regardless, he is not worth more than $300k imo and with the difference we could sign a promising young player that may develop into a good player. Mannah has already reached his maximum potential several years ago.
Someone who has close links to the club, but as I have said I don't really know, so just relying on him. Seems very high if true.
Yeah but did he win them?
Hewitt is a small man in a big man's game. Like all players in whatever sport where size matters the little men get worn down because they have to perform at or near their maximum every time they play. Think he won 3 titles plus the Masters which is where the best 8 players during the year compete against each other to determine the best.
Players at their peak helps you be more competitive right now. You’re implying that being competitive in the future is more important.
The fact he made the final meant he was a better chance than everyone else.
I can't predict the future but by going by his past at the eels and his obvious problems at the Titans. The future is not looking good.
My comment was that Hewitt never reached the height of winning Wimbeldon. Even by making some finals. He never reached that height again. It was still downhill and it was fairly rapid.
I think what he's implying is that Mannah is not going to improve anymore and that there are younger players just as good or better. That are getting better and better. Alex Twai for example. We should of tried to offload Mannah instead of Paulo.
No, but what if he is? WHAT IF HE IS!?!?
haven't you read all the articles with quotes from BA over the last couple of days? He has no issue with Hayne or his attitude from coaching him in the PAST!!
His win/loss record is more granular (and therefore more useful) than just looking at the number of finals he won.
Then they will surely cost more. That’s how supply and demand work.
Of course BA is not gonna come out and say he sucks at training. Let's just wait and see what happens when Hayne is playing like he has been since he came back from NFL. Let's see what happens when Hayne gets dropped for a couple of matches.
And he won the Daily M the last time he played under BA, playing probably the most consistent footy of his career!!
SO BASED ON THE HISTORY
OF BA AND HAYNE, THE FUTURE LOOKS f**kEN GREAT!!'
So are you saying you have more knowledge then BA, a full time coach who is around players almost every day for 9 or so months of the year, on Hayne ?
So do you think BA would sign Hayne if he had any issues with him? Or if Haynes attitude would affect the culture of our club after it has taken him 4 years to build ? BA did let Foran go, he let sandow go, so I really doubt he signs Hayne if there are issues!!
No they won't cost more until there contract is up. That's how it usually works, It's a bit like Semi. He was probably the best winger in the Como and he was on peanuts. That's the beauty of rookies plus I'm positive we could find a better prop than Mannah with his money. Even in the UK
Still my point was it was downhill after Wimbeldon. No matter how you look at it.
