Rumours and Stuff

[Eelementary]

Sure. But our forward pack is stacked. And spine is set. So if we had a spare 400k where would you spend it?

In that case, yeah - maybe spend the cash on a big name centre.

Vossy was blowing up about this on his radio show on SEN the other day when i was driving into work.

If for example a kiwi player got suspended like Isaiah papalii he would miss more club games then say crichton or radley because of his nationality. Its a joke no wonder people gets the shits when a club like the roosters seem to get a leg up whenever they feel like from Head office.

You think suspended players should be allowed to play Origin?

 

[lucablight]

Honestly?

Yes.

Cricthon is a much better player - he also costs a lot more.

The money we save allows us to beef up our forward pack.

Follow the Storm's philosophy - you only need players at centre who will do their jobs.

Splash on superstars for your spine, and forward pack.

If you want to look at it that way it’s fine but it seems to me that people are presenting statistics in a way to suggest that Opacic is a better player than Crichton.

I like Opacic - but he is solid, and slightly above average, at best.

Crichton is potentially the next big star of the game.

Next you'll be telling me that Dale Finucane is better than Weller Hauraki!

Crichton is overrated. Nothing special. Burton is class though and the Dogs have got a bargain

Based on Bang for Buck Oppy shi*s All over him.
If money isn't a factor I'll have the Merc Sports please and someone else can drive my Datsun 180B.

If you where the coach and could swap Opacic for any of those 3 and it didn't effect Salary cap would you? I would in a heart beat.

off course you would…..

Big Michael Crichton fan.

Critchon is just big and fast.
Burton is a star of future. He has 2yrs with a 3yrd yr option in his favour. He will then go to highest bidder. It will cost 1.2 mill

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Would you rather keep Papalii and Opacic ... or Lomax/Crichton and some random reserve grade forward?

We're playing imaginary land where there's no salary cap ffs. Get on board.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

would you rather crichton, Lomax or opacic?

of course they are better players…just showing Opacic has been pretty good this year compared to the better centres

 

[King-Gutho94]

You think suspended players should be allowed to play Origin?

No i dont think so. If you get suspended your suspended. It might be unfortunate at the time of the suspension. But its been the same for 40 years.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Crichton and waqa blake is who we should be comparing with. As crichton was seen as waqa 2.0 according to Gus.

He reckons watching crichton as a kid he thought he was watching waqa clone playing in the juniors

I posted the stats, just to show Opacic has been going pretty decent compared to the better centre’s

But of course thoses centre’s are all better.

why not both?

didnt we have MJ on our books when we bought papa? Don’t make out as having an expensive centre will cost us a player.

Is the 180B a burnt orange colour? Otherwise forget it.

Mennings was on $400k, those centre’s wouId all be on $600k or so. We got Papa for $150k.

So yeah there is a chance we couldn’t afford both ….

We had MJ on our books, but already subject to the PED charge. We've renewed and extended other contracts since then, so it's not really possible to work backwards from who was on the books at the time of a signing to estimate your budget going forward.
