Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2754617, member: 8290"] The post you're referring to - I don't see this mystery agenda you're referring to honestly. This goes without saying, right? If Parker stayed until the end of 2018, we would've likely lost at LEAST 1-2 of our young forwards who are touted to be NRL players in the near future, the likes of Arrow also include.. Ofahengaue, Su'A. Pretty self explanatory, re-signing Parker for 2 extra seasons would increase our likelihood of a premiership between now and 2018, but may slightly hinder our long-term plans if retaining his services cost us a couple of young forwards due to lack of opportunity or cap space. I literally even implied that Parker had 1-2 good seasons left in him. - This isn't some Arrow vs Parker agenda, it was simply a concern that whilst re-signing Parker for an extra 2 years may have been a good short-term investment (especially if we were planing on signing Inglis and going all in for 2017 & 2018), but what would the long-term cost be if we lost juniors like Arrow, Ofahengaue & Su'A and even 1-2 of them turned into what they're projected to be, very good NRL players. (I understand that not all of the juniors that are touted for greatness make the leap from NYC / ISC to the NRL as seamlessly as others, and I totally get that side of the argument, my argument is that an extra season of Parker isn't worth the risk of losing a bunch of these U20 Kangaroo & Kiwi representatives) [/QUOTE]
