Hey just had a great idea.
Write a forum letter to the Knights - demanding AOB's sacking, complaining about why we don't win, and at the same time demanding the re-signing of highly sought after, high value, cap friendly players like Hastings, Elliot, Hetherington - all on the same money. Could demand Sully resign also - bloke doesn't know what he's doing.
Maybe throw in some correlation = causation playing stats, just to back it all up.......
Should go over a right treat. They'll need a good belly laugh at the moment.
Not a single person has said we should keep Hastings. Strawman argument. Who’s saying that Hastings’ $7-800K salary is good value? If your point is so strong why do you have to draw a ludicrous comparison like this to reinforce it?
$400K is about the average salary for a starting player in the NRL. Elliott plays an important position, for longer than average minutes for a player in that position, at a higher work rate than the average player in that position, and we are empirically a better team when he’s fit. He makes somewhere between $450K-500K per season. Somewhat above average money for a somewhat above average player. If you listed the problems with our roster management, no sane person would even consider him as one of them.
D Saf, Brailey, Hetho, obviously Hastings, all overpaid, no one is saying otherwise. It’s just this one player everyone thinks you’re being really weird about.
Explain what’s wrong with him, as a player. What aspect of his play is the issue? Address it, directly. Otherwise, just move on.
