Let's face it, Pearson is used to paying £500k-£3m mark in football for championship players. He has already said that he us willing to spend on quality players, £40-50 will be nothing in terms of what he's used to in football.

Everything is relative, though. He could spend millions on football players because football clubs generate so much more and players can be sold on to generate transfer funds.

Football/rugby = apple/oranges

Wouldn't it?
If it's part of building a better squad that challenges and thus leads to better players being attracted to the club itself then surely that's how it would be recouped?

Speculate to accumulate.

I did put the flip side. Like i said earlier if it is a low enough fee then fair enough but think some clubs may try to take advantage in their pricing of players due to AP being a football man. I would hope McRae would be telling AP what the top price is we should be paying for a player of Lynchs Age & Pedigree.
At the end of the day Lynch has looked good in a poor team how will he fare in a decent side?

Maybe who Wakey have signed is who we were looking at . He plays for cronulla and people were saying pomeroy but maybe was Collis at the sharks ?

Why would we want Collis? No better than Turner.

No I meant when Agar was here we were linked with pomeroy from cronulla but maybe was collis and now he kept the interest to sign him for wakey never said we should sign him !

Sod it, if it's only £40 - £50 then I'll lend him it myself.

Why on earth would a DOR tell him that when you don't have an overseas spot, there are few/no quality props coming off contract and you are looking at Dowes and Radford as starting props for next year? McCrae's job is to get the best squad he can for Gentle to work with and telling Pearson to put his money away is not the way to go.

it is exactly what McRae's job is, if he thinks Adam is "having his leg lifted" with a valuation of a players then I'd expect McRae to say "not worth it".

AP didn't accumulate personal wealth by just scattering cash around.

He didnt??? Bo**ocks! I have been doing it wrong then!

Just seen on the Leeds forum a thought about Jack Reed now he has committed to the England side. Perhaps he has struck a deal with a Super League side, and was going to be ignored for SOO and Australia selection therefore has committed to England??

Reed for right centre anybody??
