Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3108086, member: 2021"] I definitely understand all that, but most league players won't wait 6 months for a chance, these guys have been waiting, what is it now, 3 years? How can Melbourne fend off what has to be way better offers and keep these guys happy enough to not only sign, but both be signed until the end of 2022. WTF. We couldn't keep Kodi at hooker yet they can keep Grant in reserve grade happily plodding along. There is like 5 good hookers in the competition so there has to be at least 10 teams that would pay more than what Melbourne is paying to keep these guys in reserve grade. Does their manager not tell them, you can go play first grade, earn an extra 200-300k a year, have a chance at playing origin (another 100k there) and get all the associated sponsorships and coverage a first grade player gets, or wait around in reserve grade where Smith may or may not retire in 2021. It just doesn't make sense, their recruitment team has some serious negotiating skills or the second excel tab [USER=8215]@Morkel[/USER] mentions has some good 0's in the column. [/QUOTE]
