Given the disappointment some have expressed regarding our recruitment, I suggest the following possible explanation. As Stated in the Sunday rag, the clubs and players assoc. are at war with the NRL for not releasing the amount of club grants and the size of the salary cap for 2018. As a result some 250 players are off contract at the end of 2017 and NOT signing until they know.
This will be the biggest horse trading and gold rush in the history of the game with the possible exception of super league.
It just also coincides with the definite ending of both Snake and Skivvy's contracts. We will have some cash to make a splash.
I believe it is for this reason we have not gone too hard to get any of the many players we have been alledgedly interested in. some have been good players but None of them have been world beating must haves. It is also the reason I believe we have been happy to pick up a few key bargains with potential.
There is a game afoot .... and I think Bozo is in it up to his armpits.
