Gee, and Smith and Sharp have a wonderful history as judges of a footballer. #-o #-o #-o
Make a team out of the players those two have let go and you could challenge the Dragons for the longest sequence of premierships in a row. :lol: :lol:
Thats the difference between a club following the rules of the salary cap and the teams that dont.
The salary cap was introduced as a measure to stop teams from buying the competition, unfortunately it hasnt worked (IMO), however, at least it has stopped one team from constantly trying to buy the competition. Remember when they bought every player that came on the market? Imagine what Souths would have been, if they could have matched the ridiculous offer made for Phil Blake!
Arthurson will never see the premiership again, unless the rules are changed to accomodate his buying sprees.
They dont deserve anything after what they did to the Bears anyway.
So before anyone can start firing arrows at what Fitzy has done (or Smith for that matter) they are playing by the rules. Fitzgerald has put himself on a pedestal, and in a position where he cannot go back and break the rules. More pity us, as supporters. But, chit happens - and we can be proud that everything our team has achieved and will achievein the future, will never be tainted with suspicion or innuendo.
