Those 'better people' sound expensive...

Only for the unknowledgeable.

Who signs these players?

They were good players when they were signed.

DT saying we have “entered the race” for TDS. Knowing us they probably think we should be but won’t actually be in it.

From the article posted...

North Queensland, Manly and Parramatta have joined Newcastle in wanting to speak to Da Silva after the Tigers granted the local product permission to talk with rival clubs.

So that means he will go to the Dogs

Ask him what ?

You’re the one that put his picture up. Wasn’t it about succession planning after Politis? That’s what it implied.

22 minute mark. First sentence basically says enough. All teams have the same amount of money to spend.

Only on the salary cap.

There is so much spending that occurs outside the cap, and it correlates directly with onfield success. Or else clubs wouldn't spend it.

Panthers reveal the price of success

Penrith Panthers have revealed the price of success – $17 million the club spends on football teams each year.

www.penrithpanthers.com.au

"You have to look at examples of all the kids now. Jarome, Nathan, Dylan Edwards, Brian To’o … we spent a lot of money on all of them from when they were 14 or 15 years old …

Spending on 14 year olds is not covered by the NRL salary cap.

"No matter how much it costs you, if you can afford to do it, there are rewards at the end."

"If you can afford to do it" makes it clear that not all clubs can afford to spend as much as the Panthers. Therefore they don't all have the same amount of money to spend.
