Message: [QUOTE="Dazza 92, post: 3114014, member: 8727"] "Shown the door" was a euphemism...the club choose not to chase the market for them, and one of the main reason was the group of forwards we saw play the Cowboys... I really think, long term, we should be looking to build some sort of war chest to be deployed in 2-3 years from now. One good game wont convince me we have our long term premiership winning fullback or half back. I truly hope so, but we need to have a long term vision that states IF they both cant get us another premiership, we need to go to the market to find them. I apply this also to turps, he may not be the long term answer either...? Ask yourself; what do the very best fullbacks and half backs cost per season? Around 1 million a season id wager. So....how do we find that money in a 10 million odd salary cap; and how is available that meets the first criteria? Id be prepared to lose 3-4 or more guys on $300K a year or so to allow the club to at least chase 1 if not both positions. I don't have it at hand but id look long and hard at the contracts for Offa, Kahu, Flegs, Isaako, Croft etc.... Just jawboning; id hope the club have the metal fortitude to be looking at things like this but who knows...? [/QUOTE]
