Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3575550, member: 9881"] I completely agree with you but that’s not my point I don’t remember saying anything about them leaving or 3rd party’s the reality is it’s November 1st tomorrow and we haven’t locked down anyone. Not good enough. 3/4 of our spine sits on that list and 100% of our second rowers. Not good enough at all for not a single one of them to be locked down. I have no doubt every one of them will stay, none whatsoever, but the reality is you don’t leave 6 major re-signings till after the deadline because you leave yourself well and truely exposed. Great way to **** up a premiership and at the minute dynasty window. Look Reyno, Capes and Bill are fine to leave this long because they won’t leave simply cause they have no reason to due to varying circumstances. Ezra won’t leave because the only way he can live up to his price tag is alongside Reyno, Walsh and behind that pack. But here’s the important bit that comes down to my entire point when you haven’t locked down any of those other 4 and you have two important pieces such as Riki and Piakura not locked down than what the **** have you seriously been doing. I completely understand that you aren’t going to get 6 signings done before the deadline -probably a 7th cause Reece needs to be done before most of these lot as well - but that’s the whole point, it’s not easy to get 7 deals done let alone in quickly. The fact that we haven’t got even one of the base signings in Reece or Ezra to know how much room we have means that if someone out spends us significantly on any other player and they decide it’s to good a deal to refuse and come back to us to up our game than they are gone we aren’t in a cap situation where we can do anything about it without knowing what the exact state of our cap will be in (not an estimate the exact fucken state). I don’t expect all 6 to be done but when you really need to get 7 done in the next small window and you haven’t done any of them whilst you were the only party at the table it’s just not a great look nor is it great business. This has got nothing to do with whether I think we will lose them or not and everything to do with the fact that we shouldn’t be risking it like this. We just won the comp and have 6 incredibly good players off contract logic would say without a single one of them signed as of now chances are we are going to lose someone. We live in a vulture market where administrators, coaches and staff members will do anything to pry players to their club to save their jobs. Just because the broncos don’t think they are valued at that much doesn’t mean someone else who is very desperate doesn’t either. I’m completely understanding of the fact that this isn’t a simple salary cap to manage with this much talent to all fit under (which they won’t) but none of this crop are ones you want to be losing so a little bit more than what’s been done was required of this admin than what’s currently been done. At the end of the day not a single player has been re-signed since Haas months ago. We don’t seem to be on top of the Mam and Walsh situations enough that they can be done ASAP cause I can guarantee as of midnight an automated email is going out to 6 different managers gauging interest at and from that their is nothing we can do to get ahead it’s fair game. Look for all we know a heap of these deals are done but the lack of noise that would generate Peter Badel and co some much needed clicks right now suggests otherwise. [/QUOTE]
