The problem is they are taking a large chunk out of the salary cap and the club are getting nothing in return.,

If we'd replaced them with some pros in the middle of their career, our young heros wouldn't be getting their opportunity. It's just the way it works. If you've got young players ready to step up, you can afford to keep on the senior players knowing the kids can fill in and will benefit from the experience. If you don't have that you have to offload earlier for a player developed elsewhere. I think we've got a good balance right now. Not perfect, but not bad.
Spot on. I think everyone was gobsmacked Clubb was given a new deal and Lockers has gone on far too long.ddtftf wrote:Clubb long term injury . chocking on my tea he has been injured along with Lockers and Flower for 3 years these 3 are always missing because of injury sorry but the truth hurts . Without our young heros filling in for them we would be in the shit
So why did we sign Flower and Clubb in the first place? Or Burgess, Hastings, Isa, French, Clarke, Bibby or Greenwood? Or the forward from Toronto who’s name I forget?Mike wrote:If we'd replaced them with some pros in the middle of their career, our young heros wouldn't be getting their opportunity.
