Why does everything have to come down to a counter offer from the eels ffs. There were rumours that the brown management couldn't believe the clauses that the eels management had agreed to.
Take Sam Tuivaiti for example, we offer him a 500 k upgrade and he'll likely take it before nov1. You wait until after nov 1 and he gets 65pk offers from Perth, then we have to counter offer
Its not rocket science pau pau ffs
Fmd, how hard is this for some people to understand.
ABC, Fox, SMH, Nine, Sporting News all report $5m over 5 years.
I know it's all hearsay anyway, but all the reporting I saw indicated the sticking point was the extra year only. I didn't see anyone reporting KK was heading to a $6m deal.
Anasta was the only one who reported it the most accurately $1.2m pa. You can believe the $1m pa media reports, but you'd by out by a $1m overall plus TPAs.
Ive already answered the question with my above post.
Now you explain why o'neill has been a resounding success. Go right ahead

The clubs had success with MoN and co when BA was here we had a premiership challenging roster then and were the only team that gave the juggernaut Penrith Panthers a run consistently so I'll give credit for doing his job then.
The question is now can he do the same with JR can the mentioned and JR build a contender.Indications are not great at the moment and like the last few years of the last regime injuries rule changes and alike have played there part.
The bigger factors IMO and I think this is a bit damning how is it the bottom rung St George Dragons can fire a coach have absolute chaos going on in the back round but yet sign Kolomatangi Drinkwater and Metcalfe in the space of 6 months yet here we are still trying to find a long term solution for Dylan Brown 12 odd months after him signing for Newcastle.Why are we like a glacier that moves a foot a year I don't get it.We have everything these other clubs have off the park yet some how we aren't in contention for top tier talent when they come to market.Something isn't right.MoN JS MB our R N R what who is it.
One of the biggest if not the biggest club in Sydney and in the nrl treated like the red headed step child when it comes to recruiting and signing the mentioned.

We've all had jobs that have required standards, things that are measurable and can be directly attributable to our own performance. Not things that could be effected by external influences.
I don't know, and I don't claim to know, but I reckon salary cap compliance would be something as an example that would be directly attributable to mark oneill. If you disagree please say so. Have we been cap compliant during his tenure?
When one of our players leaves, or a player on the open market signs with a rival club. Can you grasp that there's factors at play that aren't within our control, hence aren't a reflection of how well someone within our organisation is doing their job.
There's also an element of judgement, the need to predict what will happen in the future, which as we all know doesn't always turn out the way we think. So when we offer a contract to a player, I'm sure due diligence is being done. But there's no certainty to anything, it's to some extent a leap of faith. All the "experts " on here get to see things from the other end, when a call goes south (which happens ) and call for people to be sacked.
A 40 yr break between drinks tends to have that effect no and that's not on fans that's on the club.
Now wheather they want to look good infront of the masses and still lose well that's another issue.Much like the style of play and coaching of the team do we really care as long as we walk a fine line on & off the park push the boundaries for winning solutions that's all this is really.As we know everyone else is doing it so why aren't we.Who cares if it's brown paper bags a house agreed to be built once a players retired who really cares as long as we get this gorilla off our backs.
As of right now go ask your average Parra fan if they think what's being dished up is a solution to ending this drought I think you'll get much the same response that appears here on the regular.
Again and I'll make it plain it's not upto the fans to change it's upto the club to rearrange the narrative once that happens the fans will follow.
Happy days Chiefy every blog you manage to turn it into a sack Mon and the other bloke . Mate chill down abit your giving me a Headache. This blog is supposed to be about getting Matt Burton .

Sorry, that is false: Just a tad. You're a million off.
Dragons offered $1.2m per year for 5 years ON the cap.
Agents know. People in the game know it. Even Anasta spilled the beans on a podcast.
TPAs on top, I believe are a given.
Neither Souths nor us were going there ON the cap.
NO other club were. Only PNG maybe could match it because they're tax free.
