I reckon you pay your best players accordingly, regardless of position. The bigger issue might be satisfying their ambitions to run the team.

A centre is not going to be your "best" player. Therefore, they are unlikely to be paid a million a season to play centre.

A centre simply won't touch, kick or pass the ball anywhere near the amount of times a half, hooker or fullback will. Arguably, you could throw lock in there these days. That's why they get paid the big bucks.

If there is some outlier in the NRL, then fine, but that doesn't prove the rule.

Yeah mate. Was referring to Galvin at lock.

Unless Benji gets hit with a lightning bolt miracle pretty soon from the Big Fella up there in the sky, we're going to come last 'again'.

I just don't get it, as Benji said he would pick the blokes to play that showed their best at training.
But when they get out on the field to play that 'best' evaporates.
No blood and guts, no determination, wont jump for the ball and back away from tackling the big blokes.

As @innsaneink said "it's depressing", boring and just plain embarrassing now to be a WT fan.
I wouldn't be surprised if WT set a new record of being the only team since the inception of R.L. in Aust. to be the only team to come last 3 years in a row.

From the eight games Balmain Tigers, Wests Magpies and WT played last weekend, we won either 1 or 2 games, with the points scored against us being either 3 or 4 times as many as we scored.

I wonder if there is one single person out there that is rich enough [or stupid enough maybe] to become a 'member' of WT if next weekend's game [or games] is another debacle?

Newcastle - 2015, 2016, 2017.
 
Just thinking about chicken legs being the key domino and it occurred to me that we could become a team full of really good players and still pick up spoons?
