Well no one should have any complaints about Meaney then.
In case you haven’t been watching NRL for the last 5 or so years, wingers also need to be able to make 100-200m running the ball out in defence, be able to read defence well on their line, and contort themselves into all sorts of positions to score in the corner.
Cotric was our first big signing, no surprise we had to pay overs. And signing a test winger that is one of the fastest in the league doesn’t come for chump change. Would it have been preferable to get them for 300k each? Of course, but not realistic.
We have had plenty of cheap wingers recently. Montoya was one, he looked ok in his debut year but quickly turned to garbage. Plenty of players do that. CC played ok at Pennies, never for us.
Be happy we have some quality at last
