If people aren't buying the stock on your shelves, you tell them you will get new stock one day, but they have to be patient; and see how long you remain in business.
Right words.. but i think the Demo has turned into a Reno..
That's Looser talk
The Project Manager and the Finance Dept have left the building.

Nah - I just like the play on words...You lost you're sense of humour again Dink with the spelling/grammar rebukes that go on here (
It isn't overblown. It's the reason why we don't have a competitive squad compared to almost every team in the NRL. It's the difference between what we have now and having an extra three to four top players. Back ended contracts, paying players to play elsewhere and carrying deadwood. This is the last year of it. We have strictly signed rejects and opportunists up until this point. Pay is coach but if you think he has a major say in recruitment you're kidding yourself. We have a recruitment team. If you think we will not be able to sign top players for next year (money/salary cap wise) you're out of touch with the situation we've been in. We have to pay overs (like every bottom team). We have to go for players still on contract because for whatever reason we've waited too long to get into the transfer market and there isn't much available (there are still some good players just not spine players which we need). We have to spend ~95% of our salary cap going into 2021 so we're going to be forced to sign players one way or another (or front load contracts, but why?).
Nah - you're one a the word Nazi's.
Some of your figures on JMK, SMITH etc seem light on. Have you forgotten how generous we are with overpaying
Some are debatable but I'm sure there are some that go either way (slightly too much, slightly too little). There is no way I'm off by 1.6m tho therefore my point that we're 2-3m under the salary cap is correct. There will also be players in the 18-30 on minimum wage, 115k, which would leave more money in the cap too.Some of your figures on JMK, SMITH etc seem light on.

Almost anyone we want if we pay overs (some players more than others and it depends how much they're currently on or can get elsewhere), especially if they are off contract. Everyone has their price. We just have to do it for the right players and not pay "overs on overs", e.g. Ben Hunt and Dragons. No top talent will sign with us for what they're worth. Any rejects or opportunists with the same offers (money and opportunity) from better teams will also not sign with us for what they're worth (unless location is a factor, which doesn't include the rest of Sydney clubs imo). The Knights recruited top players with Nathan Brown as their coach. Knights also finished wooden spooners the season before (Pearce, Ponga, etc.).
I don't think Koroisau was offered overs. I think we tried to sign Koroisau for what he was worth, something in the ~400-500k range. Ramien's another one. I've also heard he signed with the Panthers for more money (at least it was the same) and that's why he backflipped last second. Panthers are a realistic chance of making the finals, we were expected to come second last this year. Why would you sign with us for the same amount of money? Players pick 1: success or 2: money. Everyone has their price regardless of success.
It’s actually the opposite. Panthers trumped Dogs by $100k and his relationship with Barrett also sealed the deal. Everything is not as it seems...
He absolutely did not join Penrith on significantly less lol. I also suspect that the club is paying DWZ more than they offered Api, if that's is actually true then there's massive problems at the club.
