With new teams in place ready to strike Burton goes to Perth I think Parra have shown there hand and while they may go to 7 figures I think a team like Perth go deeper and are getting dispensation from the nrl also.It's going to be a tough sell for Parra to get Burton in here.
Me it's always been a strike centre a right winger and a middle to change our fortunes.If anything it's outside backs we need especially.Mentioned this ages ago but to land Burton it's 5 years 1.2 mill per season as a starter and the kicker after footy opportunity and a big fat TPA to finish the deal off.IMO that's what it'll take to land Burton.If your not in this ball park don't bother offering as that's what it'll take.
Coryn last week you were making similar offers to land Farnworth. So to your thinking we'd have Moses, Burton and Farnworth chewing up more than one third of our entire salary cap. There's another 27 other players to squeeze into 8 mill, that's not even $300k per player.
I know someone will point out all sorts of holes in these figures but I don't think people realise how difficult it probably is to juggle an nrl roster on an ongoing basis with any number of things that are occurring all of the time.
Actually my thinking here is because this season is farked we start by finding out what juniors are what and actually have a plan for getting new players.If it's a choice between Farnworth and Burton I'm taking the first mentioned because we are so devoid of quality at that position.
In the development stakes we have plenty coming in the middle some sought of replacement plan at 6 but nothing in the outside backs.
Just to clear my position up.
See this stuff isn't as hard as it looks while I think Burton is a nice replacement it basically culls the point in development at that spot.With regards to the mentioned in the outside backs I've seen absolutely nothing that looks like nrl quality coming hence why that's the target area of the market I'm attacking.
Couldn't agree with you more Coryn. Look at how much impact JAC had with Sean Russell. Not only someone like Herbie is a quality player on his own, he would unlock JAC but you could imagine the sort of impact he could have defending next to Lorenzo or Kitouga for example. That communication, presence and experience would just be huge for our young squad
The fox was on a fairly minimal type contract, big difference to the figures being touted for other players
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.

Hes had what 8 years and at no stage have we looked like having a premiership roster tbh. Actually I think BA and Ryles have overachieved. I just don't see our recruitment and retention heading in a positive direction under MON. We need someone with more gravitas to get deals done
