Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3403109, member: 9853"] Am I the only one who hopes this is true, and has had an uneasy feeling all along about Payne's "market value" vs what he is worth to us on the scoreboard? In my opinion, we don't need the most expensive hard working prop in the NRL. It's a luxury that will make us have to cut corners elsewhere. Like the current state of our spine, which must be the cheapest in the NRL. This is more controversial: but I also think he's vastly overrated based on the effort he puts in, rather than what we get back from that effort. Sure he makes loads of metres, but that's because he gets the ball every set, and he rarely does anything with it than hit it up, and the opposition always knows exactly what he's going to do. Contrast this with Tom and Pat who are becoming increasingly unpredictable, which adds more value to our attacking plays. And although he chalks up the tackles, he doesn't have the sort of menace that Tom or Patty are bringing. I don't mind if one of our forwards gets penalized once in a while for pushing the boundaries. Payne never pushes the boundaries on the field. Only off the field. [/QUOTE]
