:crazy:"Manly won the comp this year under the same salary cap regime we were subjected to. They managed to do this because they had a group of players who were prepared to play in a competitive side for less than they were worth. Thats an indicator of a professional and well run club.
They were effective in magaing to convince players to stay and be recruited for less than market value. How did they do it? I dont know.
But this is the type of normative environment we need to create and the Issac Lukes of the world need to appreciate that we need more better than average players to make a realistic shot at the title. How do we make him appreciate that? Maybe we should ask Manly!
I'll tell you what though, it wont be me telling him to be loyal player next fan day. Some deep thought and maybe professional advice needs to be put into the exercise.
The days of the overweight CEO giving the players a lecture on loyalty and integrity are gone. We need more ingenious and scientific methods!"
The above was posted by the inimitable DaveQ, who most of the time dribbles, but this is a very coherent staement on the success of the Beagles. When you look at our club and the fall from grace recently, you can clearly see that we need to regroup and focus to achieve what is required.
The post related to Isaac Luke perhaps demanding a new contract, but gee it is a good read, well done DaveQ, who probably is a closet Eels fan as he constantly reads our forum and lives at Quakers Hill (waits for response to that statement)
