The Return of Gasnier?

[gronkathon]

I would have thought Saints may have learnt the lesson that paying massive money for a centre hinders the rest of your squad way to much for this to be given serious consideration

Obviously they wouldn't be able to offer big money. It'd be very surprising if he came cheap though. Thats why he'll sign with union.

Melbourne seem to do it and pay massive overs for their spine too and make it work...

Oh wait...

I knew a comment like that was coming but I stil :lol:'ed

 

[Godz Illa]

Superstar :lol:

Yeah, he's no Wolfman that's for sure

 

[maccattack]

Oh right, so the Dragons are under the salary cap by a few hundred grand are they? please

 

[taxidriver]

he would only be coming back for the remainder of the year

 

[maccattack]

So he just wants to use the game for a while then move on again?

 

[taxidriver]

quite possibly

how's that any different to any other player?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

We still don't have his tazo money though!

:lol::lol:

I forgot about that. Well played. There is the solutionto the salary cap question right there.

Maybe. Don't see an Inglis, Smith, Slater or Cronk on our roster do you? We don't have many rep quality players according to selectors & according to a few on here, Gasnier's no superstar, so wouldn't be commanding big coin, would he?

Anyway. Enjoy your pride for the rest of the seaon cheat.

Not sure why everyone is saying 1 year only, the article said:

Dragons boss Peter Doust has already met with NRL boss David Gallop and salary cap auditor Ian Schubert to investigate ways of squeezing him into this year's cap and back-ending the deal.

Now if they are back-ending his contract then that means at least 2 years in the NRL.

yeah, it might make inglis play more than 4 or 5 good games a year to remain as the best centre in the game.

 

[ucantseeme]

I read the articles and there is no quote from Gasnier saying he wants to return to the NRL even though the front page says "I'm Back!".

This is all based on his father in law being sick. Pure speculation. What a rort.

 

[maccattack]

Anyway. Enjoy your pride for the rest of the seaon cheat.

How exactly did I cheat?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

How exactly did I cheat?

I retract that. Your team are cheats.

 

[maccattack]

I retract that. Your team are cheats.

The entire team, like Melbourne Storm as a whole? And you are 100% certain no other team is paying or has paid over the salary cap?

And you are 100% confident that the current salary cap as it stands is 100% perfect?

I wouldn't mind getting him to come and dig a pool in my backyard with his chin
