And then when these teams shit their beds and our cap is flying don't forget to whinge.
And when we don’t make the finals again and they do don’t forget to say crap like that.

Yes they need to be paid........big money by Toronto so they leave.

Tolman leaving would at least give us our 4th tackle back
I am not bagging Tolman, back in the day he was a great replacement when we lost hannant.

He had a run where in my opinion he was ideal and even ahead of the game style for his position.

That said years ago that changed. He has become fazed out (much like stagg he when he was our lock for a while he was perfect but now days he would be a terrible option).

It’s not a bad thing against Tolman it’s just how the game has evolved.

What good is being super fit and a huge motor when a bloke who is a bog average Fucking prop like Alvaro for the eels can make you hiw bitch and run right through you on your line?

He has been a great servant but his time in first grade has to be over for us at end of this season.

$1m a year for a backrower? Crazy money.
Our backrow is the last area we need to make a major investment considering what we currently have, the talent coming through in that position and the fact that good backrowers are more common than any other position in today's game. Fifita is a freak athlete though, but I'd prefer a freak athlete through the middle like a Haas, even then a mill is pushing it.

No forward is worth a mill a season imo. They take the shortest possible route from one end of the playing field to the other, they provide minimal creativity and take turns being third man in.

But 5 @ 800k each is fine at the Roosters :tearsofjoy:

I wouldn't say no forward is worth it, but in almost every scenario you're getting better value buying multiple players. Just looking at the situation with us, Jackson potentially 650-700k, CHN 450-500k Stimson 300k...so say about $1.5m. if you're spending a mill on one player you're then going over budget or trying to split too small an amount over multiple players in the starting side and everything ripples on from there.

You guys don't have to worry about things like this though :tearsofjoy:

Yh you do, but you also have a lot more at your disposal and can fuck players shit up if they upset the club.
