Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2704810, member: 1899"] Uhuh, okay. So what happened to a few weeks ago (or whenever it was), when you said, and I'm obviously paraphrasing here, that the Roosters wouldn't be saving that much coin because RTS was on his pre-existing salary? It sounds like awfully like a case of having your cake and eating it as well, and suggests you knew full and well what was meant by the RTS nomination but couldn't help yourself. The difference is pretty obvious. Melbourne were able to re-sign the four best players in the game when they were at their best. When the Roosters were in a similar position, they had to let at least one go after their pemiership victory. Last year, it was SBW, this year it was both RTS and Maloney. The type of re-signings they're making are all good players, but they aren't the elites of the game like Melbourne were making. Plus, it was a different time in the salary cap as well. It was a lot more restrictive back then compared to now. I'm not saying the Roosters are a 100% clean mind you. I'm right with you on the ability of being able to re-sign the Latrell Mitchells, Joseph Manus, Connor Watsons, Nat Butchers, Vincent Leuluais while pilfering the likes of Taylor, Hastings, Matterson and Nikorima from other nursaries, but I think comparing the two teams on paper hides the context of when those Storm stars signed their deals. Also, given the Broncos conduct last year, I wouldn't be throwing stones if you know what I'm saying. I'm not going to talk this thing to death and ruin this thread for other people. However, that's the other side of the coin, one that probably wouldn't be represented otherwise. [/QUOTE]
