What's a pack cost or worth$

[Rafferty]

How long do you reckon the first 3 on your list will settle for that coin?

Doesn’t matter they have them now and they are preforming, value for money, looking at our roster and judging it on value for money makes me cringe.

And if or when those 3 can’t be retained due to their rising value, so what, the Bronc’s will chase the next gen of rising talent and probably secure there services, because let’s face it would you sign with them, join the ranks of a competitive side or say sign with us for example. Success breeds success.

They are going about it perfectly in my opinion and Manly not so much, even if you look at it from a different perspective, how about the numbers on our players, where we sit on the ladder and the value we get from our investment, how long can we persist like we do and expect any sort of positive results, the variation of value in those 4 caps is outrageous.

Jake needs a haircut, Sheesh $950k!

And yet he is the best value of our high paid players.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

The great Whats a pack of Sigsworth.

 

[Chunkytuna]

The addition of players like Woods and Lodge are not going to make it any faster
Go figure ....

Slower, in fact.

Lots of change, Broncs have lost some feeder catchment to Wayne and the fins.
Broncose now have Burleigh bears as a feeder catchment ( gold coast lol)

Slow Sucks ..
We all know Speed thrills and Kills

DCE clearly in front there, and taking a paycut.
Jake hasn't busted the line for ever, gets in the way when attacking. Sure he can tackle, but so can Froggy on $300k.

In Melbourne it is all AFL dominated
But The Proactive Storm always find a way to unearth worldly talent

The Moral of the story
You either find a way to success
or find a useless excuse for failure

Won’t matter they’ll attract talent regardless.

So will the fins.

No doubt, they’ve already been successful pinching Herbie.

Yep and it relates to my point earlier, the Bronc’s just go on managing their cap in a positive way, young Willison‘s no doubt being groomed to take over or join their FRR and on a reduced number to Flegler, helps them hang on to a few of their other star performers and or secure additional talent.

Lodge has one of the fastest play the ball's in the comp, he's definitely no slouch Bozo.

Also helps if you have a big jnr base to draw from, who's jnrs are all dying to play for and supported since they were kids. Same thing with Penrith also.

Maybe, but only 17 of them can make the playing group with 13 others filling the squad, so with that as a fact there should be plenty of opportunities to pinch talent from the likes of the Bronc’s and the riff, why look to the cellar dwellers and recruit players without talent or worse those that should of hung up the boots.

 

[Heckenberg]

Remember this list only vlues the strting tem this week ... doesn't tke into considertion drop off ..

Broncos
Haas $848k
Walters $200k
Flegler $675k
Riki $350k
Capwell $550k
Carrigan $480k

Really need someone to post the full list

Carrigan on 480 k is nuts.

Trouble is Rafferty, there ain't no jnr bargain pick ups from these Clubs. Broncs an Penrith get them for half of the price on what we would pay.
