I will explain this in a nutshell,when there is a player on offer we like every other club approach player manager's or they approach us with interest.
But when they try and get us involved in a dutch auction our club will not keep up with the chase and refuse to negotiate in that manner.As you have seen with player's like Tahu($400,000 p/a)for a winger.
Now what happen's then is that there will be player's left over who certain club's cannot pick up due to the cap,that's when weaker club's with a budget come in and buy a good player of NRL standard at a reasonable price.
I have been told that they will pay a good dollar for a good player but after the money squandered in 99-2000 to make a team, they are now more interested in the St.george-Illa. system of keeping good young junior's and hunting for up and comer's and buying value player's.How many big signing's have Saint's made??
As the club have faith in our player's.
And honestly guy's if you think hard about the talent we have coming through and when they fully mature and with the likes of good player's being signed here and there,why can't we do what Saint's or Penrith have done?? ;-) :idea:
