Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3406997, member: 9881"] That's not his argument. He literally said the figure 700k. Not minimum wage. You know exactly what he is saying and he is 100% right. 700k for Payne might be a bit low bump that up to 800-850 but the base of his argument is spot on. Forwards don't score tries, or at least aren't expected to. They get there value off hit-ups, run metres, offloads, tackles, etc. That whilst so important and can warrant you 850k if you're up there, which is Paynes real market value. But the end of the day Pat is on 500k. Are you telling me that 50 run metres a week difference between Payne and Pat is enough for us to give a shit about a player leaving if they are not conducive to our scoreboard. I'm not worried about it. People with the big money always have and always will be the blokes who create points and are conducive to the scoreboard. Kurt Capewell for mine is our most important player defensively (him and TMM), he is on 500k as well, doesn't mean I don't value, appreciate or respect what he does. Just isn't worth the money. Even he has a greater influence on both ends of the +/- column than Payne. Reality is metres is only worth so much and spine players are where money needs to be for anyone to win a comp. So whilst metres is a significant contribution, 50 extra metres means jack shit if you can't score points. Payne doesn't contribute to that column, thus, Payne doesn't get our money. Payne has been making metres for years and we haven't scored points. Get 1, 1! quality spine player in and we have won the same amount of games this year halfway through as the last 2. So really I think either you need to fix your comprehension skills or don't comment on how much players are worth in the future. Cause it seems your concept of how a salary cap should be managed is how we got ourselves into the very large mess that was the Broncos 6 weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
