I'm ok with these ...
But will you have room to fit them in when your 13 Lomax's arrive from the Illawarra heaven. Geez that will make their day moving from that shithole and the smog from the steelworks, compared to the fresh country air and wholesome environment they will have at Kellyville. Only 15 mnutes to Cumberland Oval in the latest Boeings moving from Kellyville international airport.
My guess is, we won't sign anyone top tier or even mid tier.
We will either sign players with potential, journeymen or promote from within.
Unfortunately BEM, history is on your side. You're probably the closest to being on the money here.
We may end up with 2 or 3 Canterbury disgruntled players if we're lucky. Right now , I'd be happy with Weed , Sexy and Tracey , just for the sakes of signing fresh meat with NRL experience. I fear we will sign sweet fuck all , just like you do.
Which would be odd since we have to spend the money we have available we can't just sit on it til 2027. To spend it we need to sign players. No recent extensions would warrant taking up $3-4 million.
Yes we need to sign players but players will need to want to come to Parra.
Top tier players will always pick other clubs over Parra unless we throw ridiculous money at them and even that's no guarantee.
Take Galvin for example. We offered him 1 million dollars but he signed with the dogs for 750k.
We have the better stadium, the brand new centre of excellence and offered Galvin 250k more than the dogs did but still missed out.
You don't know we offered him 1m Bem, it was 800k according to the more reliable reports. The fact is we don't know so its hardly an "example". Bad enough that we offered 800, 50k more than the dogs. That validates your point, no need to revert to Wiz tactics.
You mean Galvin wasn't Impressed by the new Windsor complex ? Did they show him the beanbags ? Surley they showed him the blue and gold beanbags ?
And please tell me they didn't let MON drive him out there in his old Ford Telstar , how many times have they been told to order potential signings an Uber Premium ffs. They're tax deductible and these fucking accountants insist on letting MON try to whoo them with his mums Telstar.
Gus would've put him and his family up at Bankstown Sporties in their Mercure level 10 suites , wined and dined them at Lady Banks , and probably shouted them a flick at their movie theatre too. And we send them out to Windsor in Marks mums Telstar, poor old Mrs Galvin would've been told to ride shotgun and MON would've tried his old " can you shift the gear stick" gag routine on her .
I thought that this year. But here we are . There's no way on this green Earth we used all of our cap.
JAC would've gotten Sivos money
Lomax was already signed before we released a single sole.
wheres Guthos money
wheres RCGs money ?
We offered Talagi 500k , wheres that money ? You'd suggest that would cover William's and another rookie incoming .
It's not even close to adding up. Walker would've taken a couple hundred K. But stil ? ... we must have shitloads to spend for next near and there's not much time or players left .
If I'm Ryles I'm sending a few blokes around the nightclubs handing our bags of coke to a few star players hoping they get nabbed and sacked from their clubs.
Plus add to that Dylbos money for next year Wiz which is a reported $900k !
