All of those players are on big money now. Geez people on here have 20:20 hindsight. It’s phenomenal. Everyone is a genius. And if they had let Turbo go because he had big money offers from everywhere silvertails would have gone into absolute melt down. Meanwhile if gutho had torn his acl and Tom played well enough to get an Aussie jumper last year people would have lost their ****.
At least have some perspective with all this. Bozo was controlling recruitment and retention. When hiku left everyone was bagging him. It’s taken him 3 long years to mature to where he is now. Gutho took big money from parra while we still had killer, snake and matai on the books for big dollars.
If anything blame offering big money to ageing superstars over paying going up and comers. From what I read Jesse Ramian took less than what the sharks offered because of a child or family or something up in newy

Sorry, whats with the salary figures you have put in there?
Genuine question. What is the relevance of these figures?
They have nothing at all to do with current salaries obviously (as those numbers are way off current contracts for most). But then you have Ramien on $150k and he would have not even been on a top 30 contract pre-Barrett. So just confused as to where the numbers are from and their relevance?
And wasn't Fulton brought in to "save the day" and handle all the hiring and firing?
Is Barrett now the one who signed and sacked all the players? I can't keep up!!

Don't bother using facts,journalists don't use them and people believe their garbage,no need for them here either.....
I was just thinking the other day ... that if Bronco's players do get a $20 Macca's voucher per day .... that is more than but a few FG players were on for a season back in the 70's ...
Our win bonus in the u/23's was $20 .... $10 a draw .... nil a loss .....
Where are bozo's family ? Scott was the recruitment officer.

Few of you blokes need to look at number of games played by the likes of gutho and ferris. I agree both good players and both pretty good blokes but lucky if they have played a season between them in the last 3 years.

They were already signed, Barrett let them go.

But at this point in time they would have been re signed, on a hell of a lot more money.

That was back when players actually had a working life outside of the game. The days when they would be changing in the car between work and training because they had no time to change once there. The sight of football players changing at every set of red lights they got stopped at used to be a common thing.
Times have changed. Now instead of working, most (well, the younger and probably single ones at least) usually hit the PlayStation or X-Box or Twitter and Instagram between training sessions instead of working 9-5.

By the time he's had his way with the Eagles he's going to be very experienced for his new role.

Yeah in terms of attack I agree, but he's a **** defender and games are both won and lost in the ruck

Actually you’ll find most of them are enrolled in something even full time nrl players. Whether that’s uni or tafe because it’s benefits outside the cap and the nrl encourages it. And the training commitment is a bit more than a couple of nights a week. What with film study and off the paddock stuff they’re at work for a fair amount of each day. Plus any community work which a lot of them also do
So you made $10 in your career, nice.
One draw (and that was when the other team didn't turn up.)
John Newcombe said he got $50 pounds for winning Wimbledon. Talk about being born in the wrong era!
And many considered that I had been overpaid ...
