Yes, we are also pretty silent about any signings

I just dont think we sign anyone notable. I reckon Rlyes has become attached to the current playing group and will develop within unless someone we REALLY like becomes available.
Atleast our juniors are strong. I guess issue is Moses will probably be an old has been by time they come thru and become difference makers.

I don't think Lincoln Fletcher is far off. He is the real deal

Can we pls stop blowing our loads about Souths and giving them credit. Money talks, simple as that. I know the Broncos have strong financial resources and The Thoroughbreds, but Souths are owned by billionaires. Have a look at the net worth of Mike Cannon-Brookes, Russell Crowe, and to a lesser extent James Packer. The rich clubs like Souths, Roosters (Nick Politis) and Bulldogs (Laundy) all have billionaires involved and will always offer more beyond the salary cap than other clubs. The rich clubs can always find a way to fit elite players into already stacked rosters (loaded with rep players). Sadly Parra just doesn’t have a billionaire private owner. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think Mark O’Neill et al are particularly effective at recruitment, but they’re never going to land a big fish when competing against those other clubs. It’s just a fact of life. Best we can hope for is to produce and retain elite juniors and extract value before the rich clubs poach them. It pains me to say it, but that’s why I respect and admire the Panthers success. Unlike your Souths and Roosters, they didn’t buy a premiership. Year after year they lose their homegrown talent but still produce quality players…

He got basically the same as what the donkeys were paying him

Wonder if we were in the sweepstakes at all for haas...

As good as he is, he'd command a huge chunk of change of the cap - I don't think he'd be a wise move for what the needs of our roster are.

If it were an outside back, you might be able to argue that we might splash big coin.
