Quote: Peter Mannion "It was a good post.
You are getting close to the actual problem, in your "contractual reality" who dished out and drew up all these wonderful four year deals for known shirkers..?, who chose to pay a very dodgy centre from Wigan a massively over the top percentage of our salary cap...?, who decided to blow several hundred thousands on talented but known to have and having documented histories of injuries, playing in losing teams, never winning anything, but yes talented without ever winning anything or even coming close, half backs...? who chose to pay one of said mens close friends stupid money they are clearly not worth...? Who decided, and why , to proceed with a totally pointless signing of an un-needed outside back who has already done the rounds with several lower league clubs ?
Fair dos to the players they didnt offer themselves the deals but i bet they all could have an entertaining evening swapping stories with Jimmy Bullard...
The faults at the heart of the club are not solely on the playing side and until this is addressed or resolved nothing will change...sadly those at the very top seem to have some very unfortunate blind spots.'"
Well done on completely contradicting yourself throughout that.
you ask why play a Wigan centre (who's won stuff) a made up amount of money
Then why sign players playing in losing teams? which do you want winners that demand pay or losers who don't?
Working on your logic then you obviously wouldn't touch the likes of Jarryd Hayne, Darryl Clarke, Danny Brough?
Who are these known shirkers, can't say I've heard that leveled at any of our players.
Which outside back do you mean, Shaw?
Which one is the friend that you know so much about his earnings?
Its all ok coming up with posts like this that insinuate without naming and add the odd bit of conjecture in there but ultimately you've just made most of it up to meet your own objective. State names and facts and maybe it would be valid.
