Message: [QUOTE="Reyter, post: 2939365, member: 9656"] I was being sarcastic about you being witty....... Thanks for the offer but no thanks. I'm just glad you are paying such close attention to what I post, even when replying to another user (unless you are using multiple usernames). Anyway, this ******* aside, what the hell is going on? I thought this thread needed to be resurrected. IMO the salary cap is completely out of whack. Boyd and obviously Bird are on massive overs. In their defence, a few years ago when Boyd was at his best he would have been worth what he is on. Much like Milf, Bird may be an excellent running 5/8 with a good playmaker at half but better than Milf? I haven't seen any evidence that would be the case. I remember the GF a few years ago, Bird played very well in the centres but even then, he just ran hard, didn't make any mistakes but a lot of meters. With Holmes and Barba at his best, that was enough. Milf isn't much good without a good game-manager, ball player partnering him in the halves. Roberts and Oates are obviously better than average. The rest average at best but not on big money so not a long-term problem (as Bird and Boyd are going to be in regard to the salary cap). Ditto for the forwards. Not the best pack in the competition but far from the worst. Sims won't be re-signed, Glenn probably won't be next year and let's wait and see how Gillett goes when he comes back. Depending on who is coming through the ranks, Macca and McGuire had better improve if they want to be re-signed. It must completely piss several players off at how much more money Bird is on given what they bring and what he brings to the team. I guess this is one of the main reasons so many are intent on "testing their value on the market" rather than just re-signing as what used to happen. [/QUOTE]
