Salary Cap Effectiveness

[TheFrog]

Well no, Bellamy turned the Storm into a powerhouse with the help of an administration that cheated the cap for 5 years.

The same happened in the Raiders golden era but they were allowed to keep their premierships.

Uh ok? That doesn't have anything to do with what I was saying.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I wonder how much we're paying Robbo?

We could probably save 500k+ per year by replacing him with Paul Langmack.

He'd do just as good as Robbo with our roster. He'd also continue to build and manage our roster just as well into the future.

Make the switch and save the $$$, Uncle Nick. The geniuses of LU think it's a no brainer.

 

[Springs09]

Great thread.

So in conclusion, Trent Robinson is just an average coach with a great roster.

And moreover, coaches make absolutely no difference at all - they are beholden to their roster entirely!

That should be comforting to Warriors and Dragons fans.

You no longer need to complain about Kearney and Mary, guys; because the coach is irrelevant.

Brilliant insight once again from LU.

Yeah good work making dumbass conclusions. Makes you look real smart.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'm not smart.

The smart ones are the geniuses who think that coaches don't make much of a difference.

I bow down to them.

Just remember, if Uncle Nick hired Terry Lamb instead of Robbo in 2013 we'd still have won 4 Minor Premierships, 2 Premierships and appeared in 6 Prelims.

It's true because LU said so.

 

[Perth Red]

The fact Eels managed to blow the salary cap and still finish bottom should be a good indicator that money isnt everything! Then again Sharks blew the cap and won a premiership so who knows?

Yeah cause everyone was saying that

 

[Chief_Chujo]

End of next season, yeah? Cronk’s departure will top up a 2/3 of those contracts depending how much Mitchell demands. Reckon Hargreaves will be tempted by rival offers. Can’t see Lam staying.

You will struggle to keep both centres. Manu will be getting good offers. Kid is physically a beast, his upper body strength is insane. Easily one of the best centres and has his head screwed on. Doesn't have the attitude issues that pop up sometimes with blokes like Latrell and BJ.

I think you will let JWH walk to keep SST. Friend is surely surplus to requirements now?

My goldfish is cheaper than langmack

Finally a reasonable post.

Agree we unlikely keep both Manu and Latrell. Manu a big chance to go to union.

Friend will definitely go and JWH will need to take under to stay.

Well he certainly hasn't done his market value any favours with his weekly visits to the judiciary.

 

[jiorl]

I'm pretty sure i saw somewhere that Manu was about to resign

Yeh i don't want to lose Verills. It will be a shame though if/when Friend departs

Jake Friend won’t be going anywhere. You don’t understand your own club very well if you think that.

 

[Maximus]

Bennett's already proved it. Dragons won a premiership under Bennett after years of underachieving,

They made 2 prelims in the 4 years before Bennett took over. Not exactly taking a bottom of the table side.

A few quotes from the article I linked to in an earlier post which gives you some insight -

“We manage our list and salary cap well because when you look at our players — we’ve got 23 players out of the current top 30 list since they were in under 20s.

“Therefore, when you run your salary cap that way, you come out with a much better result rather than buying from outside.

“When you buy from outside all the time, you tend to pay more.

“Of course we got [James] Tedesco and Cooper Cronk, but most of our players come from within. That’s a much more efficient way of managing your salary cap and staying within the cap.

and

Umm Morris, Cronk, Hutchison, Tedesco, Keary, Hall, Crichton, JWH, Tetevano is 9. His numbers are wrong.

Manu has mentioned it publicly to the press he's in negotiations regarding a new contract with the Roosters.

Jake Friend won’t be going anywhere. You don’t understand your own club very well if you think that.

I agree with you on that one. You need more than one quality hooker in your squad. If they let Friend walk then what would happen if Verrills got injured?

 

[Captain Apollo]

Umm Morris, Cronk, Hutchison, Tedesco, Keary, Hall, Crichton, JWH, Tetevano is 9. His numbers are wrong.

Crichton played in the lower grades at the Roosters before signing with Souths for the 2015 season. So that is 8, which means Politis is out by 1. Gee he must be a complete liar eh?

What about support staff such as number and types of physios, dietitians, mental coaches etc and facilities such as training facilities, grounds etc? This must play a part when attracting players.

This is there place of work, so the more support and better facilities the more attractive place to be.

I thought the NRL were going to have a support staff salary cap or not?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Verills has been going that well that Jake Friend is going to get caught with coke in his pocket during the off season

 

[greenBV4]

I hope they ditched the idea.
If a club cant afford to fund a first grade support staff then they dont deserve a first grade license!
