I don't respect rank, I respect expertise.
Nobody even gets emotionally abused any more. It is the government after all. It's just the APS in green pyjamas these days.

We structured contracts with the right players at the right time to have a decent crack 2020-2022, now we have to pay for that “success”. It’s the old “salary cap biting the successful teams”, except we weren’t as successful as we hoped.
What incentive do they have to make it well clear their intentions? You say there are no secrets but there is plenty of misinformation, particularly from player agents. Even if their intention the whole time is to stay, it’s in their interest to play it out to the last day to try to scare an upgraded contract out.
That’s not the only risk. In fact really the only win scenario is if the player plays exactly as warranted by the option value, or if the player exceeds the value, you’ve built in the likelihood of an upgraded contract into your overall salary cap.
Yes gone off RL big time with Parra performing so badly and news that Dyl wants to leave, if true, doesn't even worry me.
Waiting until things get better isn’t a contingency plan that should be accepted.
Where can I get one of those? It's very calming.
That’s an opinion, which is fine.
Ok so the scenario you are painting is the possibility that we are left in the dark for X months between November and the (unknown) option exercise window. That is assuming, that the option exercise window is after November in the year prior to the final contract year. Sure.
If the player has no PO and his value exceeds his last contract, then to compete with the market you might have to pay more. With PO, if the player exceeds his value (as noted in the option for the next tranche) and he opts not to exercise his option, then you may have to pay more anyway (Blaize).
My opinion is fine. Thanks
The scenario I’m painting is the reality where currently the benefit is with those with options. We’ve used up our side of the benefit.
True so where in lies the advantage other than in the 2 scenarios I stated?
You were putting across your opinion as fact again. So it was open to question, and was questioned by other posters.
This is rubbish, by the way. The Roosters were dogshit for plenty of years - they had a near 30 year premiership drought between the mid-70s to the early-2000s. What changed? Good administrators, good operators, and heavier spending.
I think the focus now should be on the roster. Non-playing staff have proven their ability to build a good roster in the past, and they have bought themselves time with the axing of the scapegoat.
Well from now on, so are you.
Number one fan Politis went from sponsor to generalissimo. That's what changed.
All relied on extra resourcing. Social, financial, geographical.
No, it describes the predicament of the club. Until our highly influential non-employee decision makers emerge from the populace, we will remain who we are.
Except when I use words like "I think" and "Perhaps" - because only someone with adequacy issues would accuse someone using those words in their opinion of "stating a fact".
See, you can do it!
Oh, and then you forgot how to again...
I'm interested to hear your source for this. Or as usual do you not have one?
Source?!?!?
