it’s sad to say this but, players don’t seem to see our club as an attraction anymore, it’s gonna be a mission to sign some good players trying to get out of this rebuild. And having pay as coach it’s not going to attract top quality players.

It’s not looking good when we are trying to rebuild
That’s the point right? No one wants to come in to do the hard work, everyone wants to wait at the finish line.

Just means we have to pay overs.

Our club has never been good at attracting players. It’s easy to get invested in all the rumours and paper talk but we never really know what’s going on behind the scenes. If players don’t want to come here so be it I’d rather that then over pay for players. Lichha isn’t being offered another year he won’t be at the club next year.

We have to over pay. Whoever tells you otherwise is delusional. Unless we want rejects or players that are looking for an opportunity, where also no club in a better situation then us wants.

They will have to. As soon as November hits they have to change their mindset towards that. Unless they want the same results post 2021.

Api chose Barrett ? I’m confused
Assistant coach. That isn't the real reason why. Panthers offered an extra 100k (apparently) and they're a more successful club then us atm.

Exactly ..... Money talks (or in the case of the NRL, money screams!)

We went from signing api, Ramien, Herman to nothing, but hey we’re gonna keep lichaa for another year apparently, I don’t know anymore
Fuck paying overs for players.the current board are on the right track.get players who want to come here for the right reasons not just for the $$$. I would look at super league and see what players are running around.look at Hodgson he is awesome.has to be more over there wanting a crack in the nrl.

I don't think you can necessarily say that Api liked Barrett over Pay.

I'm sure there are many details which we don't know about both in api's mind and in the contract...

I say Pay has done a good job on recruitment thus far.

Thank goodness some of you aren’t managing the cap. Paying overs for average players is the quickest way to ruin your cap.
We have to pay overs for some players, especially the 1st better players we bring to the club. There is no attraction to come play for our club if you're a decent player (Koroisau, Ramien, more will come). We just have to make sure we're paying overs for the right players. If you use DWZ as an e.g. I'm sorry, but he was a reject player and we were the only club offering to play him Fullback (I don't know how much he's on, but it's probably a good amount). Yes, he's been good for us, but we ain't going to find many if any more players in that situation.
