Adam I totally agree with your post. I have absolute faith in Ryles and am in love for the future for Parra. I just don't get the perennial gloom of most people on this site. Paying $1 million for a 35 year old prop does not make sense and the reactions on OEE were curious to say the least.
The reason being is because you could go through any club in the nrl and find players like your mentioning and that and coaching get you so far.
Parras issue is they lost Lomax Brown Talagi Sanders are going to lose Pezet and Russell and don't have adequate replacements for them that's the real issue here.
You throw in the lack of real quality on the market expansion and alike it shrinks the talent pool and with our inability to sign these types lies an even bigger issue.
They threw a mill per at Galvin and now Kolomatangi and it wasn't enough that's an issue right there.As we wanted these players badly but as above failed.
Go back further in the coaching search they wanted Bennett and Bellamy first and foremost went on fox admitted as much with regards to Bennett is this what we have to look foward to with regards to head hunting the top tier.
This is an issue the club has to get some purchase on we can't continue to come up short and pretend to think what we have is good enough to win a premiership.It's just not how the best work.
We say we want to be savvy recruiters bargain hunting which is great but are we doing the same off the park are we looking for better quality running the joint or are we satisfied with what we have.I don't know but what I do know we have to improve everywhere just not in one place.
Jack Williams was our best forward last year imo, I absolutely love the way he plays. He'll get better with a year under his belt. I hope we've got him for a while because he's the type of no frills toiler we need up front to partner Paulo. But, I actually prefer him on the edge.
I think someone said he was on about $400-500k as he was blocked from a starting position at Sharks.
Was he any better value than Isaiah Papali'i at 175-200 K ?
Parra over the years have found plenty of value in there back rowers Shaun Lane Maranta Nuikore Manu Ma'u Beau Scott all would have started on less than what Willams is on outside of maybe Scott.
We got the Daly M backrower for 2 yrs best in the game for the above mentioned money now that's value.
Williams yes a good player but value is in the eye of the beholder.
Don't look now, but you are making a pretty good argument for us not signing KK on $1 million plus per season.
Optics.
Id say the club had won a battle me now let's go win the war.
