Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2215554, member: 2021"] Look the reality is we won the premiership just over 2 years ago, the formation of the salary cap ensures any successful team is punished. 2004 bulldogs win the premiership 4 years later wooden spoon, 05 tigers win - enough said, 06 broncos win we are now going downhill, melbourne win 07 they are slowly on the decline. Really every successfult eam will get punished and lose a lot of players from then on it's only a matter of how far you fall and quite frankly Bruno Cullen has not managed the situation correctly, Melbourne have done very well ensuring the core of their premiership side is not broken so soon, unforunately it looks like hunt is all but gone, our hooker is gone as is the one who won the premiership and the forward pack has been on the decline compared to the great one we had in 06. I'm not sure who's really to blame but I do know the salary cap is a big part of it. Look at this way Ennis, Hannant, Boyd, Kemp most were on shit all contracts either on their first NRL contract or were nobodies when they signed who then became stars whose asking price sky-rocketed couple with the fact that we already have several representative players it becomes very hard to hold onto said players.
