Not at all Stanley, turning down initial offers is more than likely par for the course with these things. Just something I'd been told, and better contracts don't necessarily mean an increase in wage.

Bartering is common, my boss offered me a derisory amount, I demanded a much larger amount and after much heated discussions we settled on the derisory amount. Bloody recession

That's the way. You show him!!

Home for Shannon McDonnell is Western Suburbs of Sydney, i wonder if Warren can get him a start back with Wests Tigers.

That Moltzen looks pretty good, think he might stand in McDonnells way.

doesnt mean that clubs are looking at him as a fullback .....amybe as a winger

According to Dave Parker in the league weekly Rovers were in for Carl Ablett which prompted Leeds to offer him his new 5 year deal.
He also revealed that after checking with the club he found that Liam Watts still has another year left on his contract.

Boo

If what I have heard he wanted is right then I agree that his wage demands we're huge but I think with regard to your other comment that folks are going to have to adjust to what 'average' is when the imports dry up due to the exchange rate and the new Aus cap.
Players that were previously classed as not up too it are going to suddenly find themselves in demand.
All IMHO of course.
