Re: Gillett and Jack Reed re-sign
playing for england isnt really a big deal, he was selected after his debut year - theyll take any NRL player that can play for them.
yes gillett plays origin, but he was ridiculously out of his depth in it and was a huge liability.
and just because some other team pays too much for someone doesnt mean us overpaying someone is a bargain. just because thurston gets a million it doesnt mean wallace for $500k is a bargain.
btw i posted like 2 weeks ago that they offered reed 250k a season, with a link backing it up, so his $250k a year is no surprise.
"they are only going to get better"......where have i heard that before. oh i know, when we signed wallace for $250k+. then again for $300k. then again for $350k+. still waiting on that "getting better". still waiting on it for reed and gillett too. reeds in his 3rd year, gillett in his 4th. cant wait too much longer and pay too much more money for them to get better.
and both were 2 of the worst players in the competition for most of 2012.really? one plays for england, the other plays for qld and possibly australia. $330K a year is a BARGAIN! lussick is on $450k, and Daniel Harrison on $300k at the eels.

ill say something negative because i think its too much money for what those players have shown/produced.This is great news. I knew before opening the thread that tkday and AP would have something negative to say, but everyone can have their opinion.
If you look at these signings in any sort of perspective we have got them for a steal. They are only going to get better and clubs would have snapped them up, especially gillett.
