Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No he wasn't
- That's why he's on 275k Now...

And my logic isn't stuck anywhere but here and now....
You're telling me he was worth 50-100k less than the Papalii we bought off Parra?

Smoke another one Bro!!
Look, reading the point... (i think)

We have to pay overs for some players.

It's better to get a player like Papalii, Thompson or Olakulatu and paid overs for them... As they are starters. What has killed our club is paying top freight for players that don't take the field.

We have had too many stars, (I dont' need to name them) who turned out to be fringe graders and did not play most games. Along with too many Fringe graders signed up for higher dollars.


Whoever we sign at 2RF... No "potential" signing. A bankable first grade starter, happy to pay 100K overs if it meant we get someone who would start in most teams.

We have too many fringe players like Bud and Stafford' and Brent'who get 1st grade $$ but don't deliver
And most of the juniors can't step up
Pay whatever is more than reasonable and buy genuine 1st graders like May and Bird and Tureva
 
Props are now the third highest paid position in the game after halfbacks and fullbacks. Tino, Haas, AFB, JFH and Taumalolo are all on 1mil+. Tapine, Paulo, RCG, Nelson, Flegler, Papalii and Collins ware all in that 800k+ bracket from when they signed their contracts. Thompson, Stefano, May, Barnett and Leniu seem to all be in that 650-800k bracket.

See plenty of comments about props not being worth more than a certain amount, but the reality is that they are worth whatever clubs are willing to pay them. At this point in time clubs seem willing to pay props good money. With all the analytics in the game, clubs understand the value of props and how big of an impact a good prop has on the outcome of the game. Sometimes, us fans need to recognise that the clubs (all clubs) know what players and positions are worth more than we do.
