Recruitment

[m1c]

I take back what i said about Bruno not being solely responsible for our muddled up roster... I've had some mail that as soon as Bennett announced he was off at the start of last year, Cullen ran the recruitment decisions thereafter. So much so that this mess sits squarely at his desk.

In fact, if you look at our roster for next year, I cannot believe that we don't have money to spend. I mean, Izzy, Hodges, Lockyer and Wallace would be on good money that's for sure - But who else is on decent dosh?? Clinton?

Kenny?

If we don't have any money in the cap left, then there's been some VERY poor recruiting and administration that's for sure.

I seem to remember the re-signing of Parker at the beginning of the year being big news. I'd imagine they've paid overs for him too.

I'm happy for that tbh. Parker said at the time (if it's true, I'm not sure) that he received bigger offers elsewhere, but he wanted to be a one club man. I'd rather pay overs to someone like that than buy a big name who will leave in three years.

What I want to know is how we are supposed to have no money left in the salary cap? Bulldogs signed Ennis, Hannant, Hodgson, Kimmorley and a few other blokes and already have Patten, Ryan, El Masri and yet they signed Steve Turner so they have room. Cronulla made a shitload of signings for next yr. Seriously what's going on? How are we losing players left right and centre but have no money left. Boyd, Stagg and Eastwood were supposed to be on our books for this yr so there would have to be around 400-500k on the salary cap for the year where did that go? Plus Hunt was offered 400k a season so wouldnt we at least have around 800k to spend?

And don't forget the money set aside for Taylor that they now have as well.

Yeah exactly, so I want to know where the hell is the money going. I wish we could see what the players are on!

Yeh because people's salaries should be public information :roll:

Why the hell not, they are professional athletes in a club bound by a salary cap of public interest, the public tends to know quite a few of the salaries of players - locky - 500k ish, izzy 400kish, hannant 300kish - and so on, why not? they live in a bubble already - comes with the territory

Football players can cop it on the chin, if they don't like they can re-enter the workforce and gain anonymity like the rest of us

They should definitely give out estimates IMO... and I guess they do for top players... Most other sports its well known but in saying that... this is the NRL.

I don't think we should know how much the players are on but I need to understand how we have zero room left under the salary cap for 2010.
