Poor Sphagnum

Which one of your heads is that faux sympathy coming from?

 

[Sphagnum]

Don't think some people understand the salary cap. Souths were accused of cheating the cap after 2014. In the previous off-season we lost guys aostasi, crocker, king, lima, peats, farell, everingham. Our premiership team had 3 rookies ( auva'a, Johnstone, turner) 3 players who had a handful of games in 2013 ( walker, keary, T.burgess), 2 players from 2012 ( G.Burgess and Reynolds), tuquri of the scrap heap after a failed irish rugby stint, and a couple of cheap toilers in clark and tyrell.
Both souths and Knights were preliminary finalist in 2013, if we didn't get rid of our overpaid older players like asotasi and co it's likely we'd be in a similar position to newcastle right now

Who did the Sharks get rid of to sign Ennis, Maloney, Townsend and Barba?

By the looks of things, you need 2 heads to be able to come up with an original retort

Carney, Gordon and Tupou come to mind.

 

[Miller was a legend]

And Bronc's still paying part of Barba

 

[age.s]

Barba and Ennis were considered washed up and the Sharks gave them a chance so I doubt they'd be on massive coin. Maloneys a known package but you're having a laugh if you think Townsend was a big money buy.

The salary cap situation makes it harder for the knights to rebuild. They are already struggling with space. The realities are clubs like the knights cant afford to make dud signings basically.

There are always shitty clubs (look at mine lol) but the knights are unusually bad.

When the raiders hit rock bottom we got lucky in a lot of ways because it was a bunch of players walking out. Maybe a bunch of the guys taking up space at the knigjts will hit the cruisers

It'll sound funny but robson was probably on enough to make room for townsend, barba had part of his contract paid by the broncos, carney might of had part of his contract being paid as part of his sacking, Tupou and gordon

 

[Sphagnum]

And Bronc's still paying part of Barba

Only the Broncos could afford to pay rep players who aren't even playing for them.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Don't kill the messenger.

Deal with Barba ends this year. We have to find the coin next year

 

[adamkungl]

Bullshit. Right up there with the Broncos and Cowboys this year in the 'there's no f**ken way in hell that team is under the cap' stakes.

I guess it's the get square for the NRL's diabolical handling of the peptide shit.

Lol you've gone off the deep end.

 

[Eion]

And sharks lost lichaa before signing Ennis so go suck a lemon Spoofgums

 

[Sphagnum]

Lol you've gone off the deep end.

Only a proper audit of all teams could confirm or deny that theory mate.

This is basically the crux of it. Our roster was managed as if it was a side that had endless excess TPA money and could afford to have a clean out every couple of years.

Brown seems to have identified the issue but that doesn't mean it's easy to fix - especially under the current rules.

 

[nick87]

Don't mind me, im just here for the schadenfreude

From memory everyone laughed at sharks for that deal

 

[Generalzod]

:lol: General plod

It seems you are the one with comprehension troubles. Can you not see the hypocrisy ?

When the Broncos thrashed the knights you bitched and about 'the haves and have nots' and and moaned about the result being bad for Rugby League.

Now when your team smashes the Knights, your excuse for the knights is past management. Of course you werent cheering for the last few try's your team scored today.... being so bad for the game and all...

Your missing the point snappy all i was saying that the Nrl is not a level playing field, as a Cronulla supporter Im enjoying the team play some good entertaining football, been waiting a long time for it.
