  We probably couldn't sign Falou due to cap issues and this is the BS that was put forward by the club.

  These are valid questions. We were treated badly and inequity existed. As Devils advocate, imagine our cap mess if we had signed him! Folau that is. Lol

    True. Maybe the NRL protected Parra from themselves

  Forget folau, what about kevin kingston after 2009! Same boat he wanted to take a pay cut to stay with us and was forced out because the NRL saw his true value as more and he was a no name compared to folau..... i think people get their rocks off d*cking us

    What about brad fittler being paid way under in his last year at the roosters, then being paid 1 mill as a water boy the year after and that 1 mill not counting to the chooks salary cap? Can we not keep that in mind because it was over 5 years ago? Of course you can compare to the days that are past because if you cannot then what can you compare it to? Clubs that can pull bigger TPA's of course can afford to cut player wages because they will make it up somewhere else, thaiday may of taken a cut from the wages of the salary cap but that isn't to say he won't be compensated in another way wink wink nudge nudge. Maybe it is time to make TPA's known to the public so instead of thaiday saying I took a paycut so it doesn't look dodgy to the fans because more then likely he will be paid the same as this year.

    I forgot about that one. Maybe Parramatta needs to be a bit more outspoken and highlight the inconsistencies.

  just $500? Yet he's earning, what, $700,00 plus? What's $500 to him? Pay cut? What a joke. Pay cut to me is something like $80,000 to $100,000 not a poofy $500
