Don’t blame me for this …. but for some strange reason ... my other personality would actually prefer Hayne before Moylan.
$900K a year at Cronulla, but they couldn't afford to upgrade Jimmy Maloney who was on 600 odd thousand?
Got the same brand of calculator the Chooks have.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford it. It was more that Maloney had signed for 500k and Cronulla didn't see why they had to upgrade him. Rightly so, if you sign a contract for a certain amount, that's what you get. The club wouldn't ask Maloney to take a pay cut if he wasn't playing well.

I like both players as players…both good footy players, very good
I dont like Moylan, his attitude and ego stinks and doesnt look to be a team player, carries on like Moses...the lowest breed
That said, if either were to have come here I wouldnt complain...we havent really recruited this calibre of player for some time

It will be a long time before we beat off teams like the Chooks,Manly,Dogs or Sharks for a marquee signing in the Sydney market.
We just have to keep what we are doing and go for the next tier down players and hope we can get a bit more out of them, plus develop some young talent and retain that talent when they blossom. It’s not all about money why we miss these signings, plenty of other things come into play

I'm pretty sure they did say they had no cap space to bump him. I do agree that he signed a contract and Cronulla were under no obligation to bump him. He should have had ratchet clauses in his contract.

A harsh reality that a lot of our supporters refuse to face. We're 2 to 3 years away at the very least to even be discussing signing players of Cronk's calibre. We need to be a consistent finals side to have any chance of attracting those types of players.

Harsh reality- its our only reality! We have been talking 2-3 years forever! Now we have money and still not in the race with our Sydney counterparts. I for one dont think we have 2-3 years of talking 2-3 years. We have paid good money for our squad, they havnt come cheap they need to perform and significant improvement in our position on the ladder just has to start happening, imo.

Many things come into play, obviously money is up there, but geographical location,opportunities outside football post football,TPAs,player manager relationship with the club and what people perceive where our club is and going. Chooks could have three years in the cellar but still attract the so called best players. Iam afraid it’s going to take some consistent good form on and off the field for us to lure a big fish at his prime

Yeah, due to amount of roster choice the available spend for 2018, plus getting the time to prepare those retained and brought in during 2017, a reasonable amount of that ladder improvement has to come next year.

Wow. $1M for Cronk I can understand, but $900K for Moylan is crazy IMO. He was just released by his old club after all.

Considering Moses is on 800k, I'd say 1 mil for Cronk is peanuts.
