Personally, I'm fed up of us whipping out the cheque book to sign overrated marquee players, has-been overseas stiffs, best mates, experiments, never will bes and never-weres.

Spot on.
We're obsessed with chequebook signings.
To be fair, the club DO give chances to the youngsters, but, if they don't "hit the ground running", they tend to be jettisoned. I've said for years, academy lads who are progressing, must be crestfallen when we sign yet another NRL player, solely to fill quota spots.
