What? Someone else agreeing Hayne is not actually a playmaker?

#wondersnevercease
No he's actually a pretty good playmaker. It's just that he's more effective out wide where he has space to run the ball. Opportunities to run at first receiver are very limited in the modern game.

If they have him on their cap for any less thanbefore then its as dodgy as all f**k .... the nrl has never let players take pay cuts

"First, the salary he is being paid will have to be of market value. Barba was set to receive about $600,000 this season until his contract was torn up after the positive test. The NRL will expect him to be signed under this contract for about half that amount."

No.... If play for roosters its your choice to live close by. They could live in Parra and get a 30min train like people do for work. Across board all Sydney teams should get 7.5% cap relief.
Even out in Penrith people are looking at 600k+ for a small house.

Yeah, but who'd live in Western Sydney if they had the choice?

IMO he isn't smart enough to be a great playmaker..... 10x the player of cronk but guys like cronk are game managers. They win you titles

Unfortunately Hindy, Phil Gould was never his coach, otherwise he would of turned him into a 5/8th about 5 or 6 years ago. He was a wet dream 5/8th to a coach like Gouldy, who can convince and motivate unlike any other, which is what Hayne needed.

Gould would of got in his head and pushed the right buttons that made Haynesy lust for the chance to be the general, ala Thurston, on the field.

Alas Hayne has never really had the team or the coach to change his way of thinking for that positional switch. He has a running game mentality that has served him well, but he has a hell of a lot more then that to offer.

Gould would of been the man to unlock the extra genius with in him, that we only see glimpes of here and there.
Of that I'm sure. Oh well, doesn't matter from a Parra perspective anymore anyway.

You still don't have to live in Western Sydney to play for a team based there.

Mate the world is not a perfect placce or fair for that matter. I would love to live in a waterfront, but it ain't going to happen anytime soon.

If the player is good enough, he will get the money, if not he can get to the back of the line like the rest of us.

No free beez, or % leg ups.

Geez, hard luck for Pauli... wish him all the best.

Hope Gosford hospital have any plaster on hand to apply to that massive leg of his - they might need to call in reinforcements!
