I think a ruthless club has fringe FGers/bench roles on 200-250k. Because they are replaceable.

Then those 4-5 guys you saved 50-100k each on allow you to compete for a big dog or two.

I hate that we chew up our cap upgrading and extending on overly generous terms.

We don't know the contract value but the fact we are upping length is already off kilter for a bit player with a troubled disciplinary record who has been here 6 months.

If Millie Boyle had 3 twin sisters a 4 cousins that we stood to gain it would still be a horrible deal.

Absolutely. Especially if we sign him for 3 more years. There's always hope that a guy who's been bog average for 7 years will finally take his game to new levels.

Dropping Corey for this guy had better result in 3 tries in match winning performance and makes us extend our offer to 6 years

I can see the appeal of the “tweener” middle in today’s game - the new rules have even made plodders like Scott Sorensen effective. A mobile, hard working middle with good leg speed is actually a decent complement to Papa and Tapine, the hope being they help tidy up the middle and get across to assist the edges too. So, I can see the role. The issue I have is, I don’t think the role is worth significant money or contract duration, and I can see a young guy like Mooney doing it very well.

If he does re-sign I'll try to get behind him, I don't begrudge him getting the best deal deal for himself...

My issue is much more with the Raiders

He didn’t play too badly today. At or around league-average level I’d say.

So that’s 3 games in a row where he’s been ok… what’s that worth at the Canberra Raiders negotiating table? 7 years at 600K pa??

Is that an offer you’d accept @joshjacksonshead???

He has been good the last couple of weeks. Definitely playing with a level of intensity we needed across the playing group. Significant reduction in errors too.

I’m wondering where the material for his next 3 years of daily press conferences will come from. Especially if his more talented half ends up signing with us, the journos might really struggle to keep the interest up.

He’s gone to the Sun Tzu well very early

Hello friend and I’m glad someone finally asked an expert who has a freakish eye for talent,

My decision is 3 years at $450 000 per , another outstanding game today, i cannot for the life of me understand the bullying of Adam , and me , and other players and coaching staff that will be elaborated on in future posts , stay tuned friends

He played the bit part role perfectly cromulently. I expect him to score as high as a 5 in GE ratings. Still not sure why you need to buy that for 3 years but I'm sure all will be revealed.

Ok so definitely a fellow player or friend of Elliott's. Look I do get it... social media has made it clear that many fans are critics as well as supporters. I can see how that wouldn't sit well. And I think it has caused a big shift in player's attitudes towards the game actually

I still post as if no one will read it, like it was 20 years ago, when the internet was just for nerds... but the fact is it's all in the public now. We know players read stuff, even though I'm sure they're advised not to. I do make sure not to make anything personal, and even try not to be *too* critical generally. And any time I'm critical, it's only on performance, the game itself

In saying that, I don't feel sorry for the players: they have a far better life than most of us. An income $450k for one year would change my life, let alone three years of it. But I do get it, the at times constant criticism... the money and fame doesn't change that they're human

I am not a fan of Elliott at all, but to his credit he's played well in his past few games.

Playing for a contract has that effect.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

He was famous for doing that at the dogs, and watch the media stories escalate about how he loves the club , the players , never wants to leave here etc etc

I'm just surprised there was no article last week about Adam always dreaming of playing with Papa and what a privilege it was to play in his 250th game etc etc
He actually gave papa the lime light he deserves

Ok we all know the Raiders put a gag on him last week 😇

You jest - but that could be the kind of coin we are sinking into the Croker and Whitehead deals at their back end! So in reality, what’s one more to throw on the “good bloke/average footballer” stockpile we always have going at the Raiders
