Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3132108, member: 9326"] I'm guessing it obviously wasn't a large enough offer. Actually, come to think of it I seem to recall the story at the time was that we trumped Melbourne's initial offer and then Melbourne had an 11th hour rally with their owners and ended up trumping our offer? Money should honestly have been no object here. There is almost certainly a sum of money that exists out there that would have enticed him to come to the Broncos, it was just up to us to identify it. 2 million a year? 5 million a year? For a team winning games and Premierships consistently that expense is almost certainly justified. For any Game of Thrones fans out there I'm reminded of the line from Tyrion Lannister: [I]"And if the day ever comes where you're tempted to sell me out, remember this: Whatever the price, I'll beat it. I like living."[/I] That really should have been the last thing we said to Bellamy when he stood up from that negotiating table to go home and mull it over. He needed to be reminded in no uncertain terms that if he decided to stay with Melbourne for any reason at all, it would come at a significant financial disadvantage to himself to do so. [/QUOTE]
