Yes we got him for a steal but it wasn't really my point. JAC is an elite rep player that's played origin and for Aus and he had an immediate impact on Russell. We have offloaded highly paid players and filtered through some good juniors and decent journeyman and saved money. We now need to splash on some elite talent and experience to support these younger talented kids. Melbourne had Grant, Munster, Hughes and Pap all on 1 million plus. The only million dollar player we have is Moses. Surely we have the coin to have a splash

Just for clarification, I'm not taking aim at you or your comments. I'm saying that managing a playing roster isn't as easy as some suggest, there's a lot of moving pieces at any one time.
I wholeheartedly agree with your take on juniors, there's no point in delaying. Lorenzo and Brown need to be in the side now so we know where we stand moving forward.
Adam, the proof is in the pudding. We currently have a bottom rung roster. You can deflect all you want because Sarantinos and o'neill are both proven failures.
If you don't agree, please explain why Parramatta has a bottom 4 top 30

What makes either of them a failure? I'm after something more concrete than your opinion or that of some journalist. If you've got a set of performance criteria that they have failed to meet let's hear it.
For all we know, O'neill and Sarantinos would be in deep discussions with Daine Laurie as they'll want a cheepie thats my guess. I have absolutely zero faith in the three stooges that run r and r
Lorenzo is at the present time a myth, might be great, might be good, might not be. Before we talk about losing him if Burton comes, how about we throw him in the mix and actually see. I can hear the deluge of "we've lost another superstar" whining already. For gods sake test him out, its time . People say too young , not ready, if he goes to another club* (sanders) they will throw him in to learn his craft in first grade. Its time
Can't see it happening as he seems quite happy at the Bulldogs and his contribution last night against the Raiders didn't give any indication he wasn't happy at the bulldogs.

The fox was on a fairly minimal type contract, big difference to the figures being touted for other players
