Where our salary cap should be going for `2009 ?

[super_coach]

Every week Heads price is going up and if he remains fit and steers us into the big games at seasons end, well than he will be out of our price bracket.

I would have thought the generals at camp concord would have seen enough already of Heads ability to be offering him a contract beyond 2008.

I suppose the refreshing thing is we are all talking of resignings, rather than looking and talking about players from outside the club.

SC with the big 4 fit and firing we are easily a top 4 squad ... and if the NRL decides in June/July that they want games played quick we are a massive show at this comp. Melb aren't what they were ... Manly are f**king laughable and a 6 pocket theory team of hacks, parra an enigma, cowboys will be out of the race in 3 wks when we murder them without thurston, broncos have heather on one leg and almost gone, warriors miss mckinnon and have ordinary halves, dogs pathetic, saints ordinary, canberra ordinary, newcastle will have a dig but lack class, cronulla have that 2001 tigers look about them in attack

For me the top 3 sides/squads in this comp are:
Melb
Us
Easts

If shines and sizzler can't get this side into the 4 then something is drastically wrong

Didnt we sign big red for $250k from the sharks i thought. if so , hes not gunna stay for $200k imo, which is probably his real worth but not many will take a cut in this day and age.

 

[super_coach]

I still think our front row will cause us grief come the big games. We have a team with skill, but we luck that hard nose grunt needed at the back end of the season

 

[themanonthehill]

Only at the minute SC
Gibbs is playing well and KG is coming good
Throw in paytos and who knows an off contract O'hara might be an X factor up front

 

[crouching_tiger]

I really don't think O'Hara has played bad in any game for us in 1sts. He has been pretty solid in the chances that he's had considering he kept coming in and out as a fill-in. If he got consistent starts he would fire. As i watched in the lower grade games he was a big step up in class from PL and was firing well at the end of last year. Could play a crucial role for us this season if injuries hit us up front later in the year.

 

[themanonthehill]

He's off contract so might have to pull his finger out
Thought he looked good in the FC against easts... looked more damaging with running back and broke tackles and wasn't dropping on first contact ... his yardage has been ordinary but it looked like he had improved .. world's longest broken jaw ... 3 months this weekend

 

[Papa_smurf]

Let O'Hara go. His contract would upgrade Heighno's, Gallo's and leave minimum wage left for one of the current NYC players to come in to the squad for next season.

 

[madunit]

exactly.

He ain't worth keeping.

He should be looking for a team in England as we speak, because no one here will buy him.

 

[themanonthehill]

Someone will be him MU
Nature of the beast .. there's always one club desperate enough to believe the form he showed in 04 will come back

 

[madunit]

That may be the case, but that team is always us. And he's already here

 

[yappy]

no, there is another.

oh wait he isn't polynesian - UK it is.

 

[madunit]

lol

touche

 

[themanonthehill]

He could change his name to Ryanata Oahaurau and send off some CVs

It's not like they'd trawl rep records when they look at his tapes
