On paper it reads as $1m difference; however this is purely cap only.
However let's face the reality here. With the size and scale of our club and third party reach, the pay gap would've been a whole lot smaller with corporate sponsorship.
Who was bloody advising him?
Evening BHQ,
The more I think about it, I'm beginning to agree with the sentiment that Fifita should not play for us moving forward.
Firstly I don't agree with the argument that by benching him we will ruin any chance of potentially re-signing him in the future. 3 years is an eternity in sport...
I agree with what a few others have said. There is simply a lack of high profile talent off contract. It is what it is but seems like we will have to wait 18-24 months to extend whatever warchest will be available.
I would go all in on Cameron Smith and give him a similar deal to what the...
Incredible how the board fucked this up so badly. We resigned 4-5 of our younger members in the past 12 months, who most look solid first graders at best... but the one we all needed to stay and potentially the best edge forward to come along in 25 years we pissed away into a state of oblivion...
Whether or not the bet appears 'safe' or a 'sure thing' there is absolutely no value this week taking any outright bets on Melbourne. The bookmakers have inflated the line given the public perception of the two teams and they are making the regular everyday punter pay a premium to bet on them...
This is what is even more frustrating. All of us on here could see Dearden needed to develop and no question he has been earmarked as our long-term half. It is beyond me how the club didn't bring in an experienced halfback, who was at the end of their career for a 1 or 2 year deal that couldn't...
To those of you asking to sign Lewis. You do know that will bury Dearden, right?
We don't need an up and coming halfback. We need a seasoned playmaker and game manager who ideally has 2-3 years at their peak.
That's a cop out excuse IMO. The performance was horrific and as far as "playing for something" - we are a young team that needs momentum and confidence. We should've been looking at 7th spot and energising ourselves with a potential Souths clash a fortnight away.
Our club doesn't deserve finals...
Not only that, we could've used the week as extra motivation knowing if we win, probably be getting a revenge spot against Souths.
**** this club, they break my heart all the time.
Parra 13+ I'm with you
I'm sensing a slight letdown here given we have been emotionally up and charged for 2 big Friday games back to back.
That said we are defending as good as I've seen since 2016 and still think we will do enough to get the win.
I'm secretly hoping Warriors pull out a win later today, because...
You're also forgetting the talk of removing Macca and Boyd is not recent and has been a genuine concern for us fans and members for 18-24 months. Here is what was the most popular alternative tossed around this forum as early as round 4! Not as inexperienced/ inconsistent as you think....
1...
Do people think it was just a coincidence that we have had a much better structure (albeit still not good) and some steel on our right edge defence since Turpin's suspension?
We arguably could be 2/2 with SOS and Boyd as a halves combination and I still think defensively we would be exposed in...
Fifita and Haas are both incredible.
One with 16 tackle busts and the other 80 minutes. It is a good win so lets enjoy it, but it must be pointed out individual brilliance is keeping our poor attacking play masked.
Milford will not be our full back long-term. With a balanced spine his best position is five-eight. Let's hope Seibold can move on Macca and Boyd and find correct replacements in the next 2 seasons long-term
We have been watching medicority for too long and have dismantled half our squad in the space of 5 months. The club is f*cked.
Retire Boyd immediately, offer Ponga a $1m per season deal and he can get released from Newcastle on homesick and compassionate grounds. Will be the only shining light...
Has anyone asked the question whether this is new or has Milf trained at FB periodically throughout the year already?
Boyd can stay well clear of any spine position. He is a cancer. If Milford is going to play full back, I'd personally much prefer Boyd in centres for Shiba, Turpin in 5/8 and...
