What do you mean who cares what he is on??

I will accept this club are going to be paying over the odds for players of decent level ability

BUT

We need to be paying acceptable prices
Over paying your CD 250k when he ain't worth it causes problems when you want to sign some other bloke

Don't be in denial that agents don't talk but let's just say we try signing eg Nathan Burns

When we try putting an offer to him do you not think his value his signature is available for will be dictated by what the other higher paid players are on and how much more he feels he is worth

Don't you think ****s coming here already look at Boogaard on the big $$ and then put their hand out and say I deserve this if your paying him that??

Getting players paid close to their worth is highly important as it effects other signings whether new or renewal big time

when the US government broke up Standard Oil.

All hail the Sherman Antitrust Act to defeat the Microsoft of the day

All I'm saying is you have zero clue what the bloke is on and you're raging like he's on marquee wages and you know that 100%.
What's to say he didn't tell his mrs when he left for OS that he'll knuckle down and bank some serious cash (tax free too I think) and set them both up well enough that taking big dollars on his return wasn't such a priority.
And to add to that if the bloke is on 250k+ then who cares. He's proven to be a very astute defender leading a team based purely on defence to an ACL title and grand finals. This isn't something you just "forget" cause you're old. The salary cap goes up anyways next year.
Compare him and Baro who many of us including me were keen to see signed and we pretty much get a like for like signing whohas the added bonus of being Aussie and probably better in the communication department.

It's hard to know if you are trolling or not. But now I see maybe you are genuine, if not a little ill informed, and maybe you just hold a life long dream to be a toppers trooper. So Good for you, I guess you dream has come true.

That you either have little knowledge or understanding why a players incomes matter in a salary capped league shows me that there is little point debating anything with you. Which of course is ironic considering NTS was moved on from the club last time because his salary was taking too much of the cap.

For a guy that doesn't care you certainly like to post a lot about it.

[hawk]

He's here now at a certain cost so no point worrying. We wont land any big fish either. Sorry to burst 3 months of hope.

Toppers Twats should be the new entity. Man in a canoe symbol

Thanks to stretch for modelling

Well put.

I started with a lengthy reply like this but figured there was little point getting into any detail.

Na. Just think you should just chill when you have absolutely no clue what each individual player is earning or what they've signed for. You are making assumptions. That's it. Wait to see how he performs and I'm sure it'll also eventually come out what he's earning.

15 minute drive to the ocean in Newy?

I prefer those weirdos out at Cameron Park to get on the freeway to gypo land for their taste of gods bathtub.


i run out of breath getting to the end of my street for a dip in the water.

also Topper knows the Newy chick discount is well worth it.

but if he's loved up and expecting then what the hell is he doing back here on less that $750k to play for this shitrabble.

[parksey]

Feel sorry for Topor living below the newy poverty line on $180,000 per year.

Can you expand on this, please.

You clearly aren't from Newy.

I can basically confirm that there is zero chance borat isn't correct on every single thing he/she has said.

Yeah you see repeating the same ill informed opinion doesn't make it true, just repetitive.

I posted factual reported information that my opinion is based on. If you don't like the discussion or it's a little to complex for you then go create a fanboy thread to fap over.

Oh and stop being such a wanker. Just post your opinion and I will post mine.

Newy Chicks are a different species. Rate themselves far too highly and really don't offer anywhere near the performance or value for money that European imports do.

We should have a whip around before each home game and top him up. maybe bring some tin food in for him to take home after the game.

Don't they what

There no finer experience in life than giving a Newy chick a dose of reality of where she sits in the pecking order of things

It great watching them get wound up but lose the argument with you

You stated there is zero percent chance he signed for 60% of what he was on. That's not an opinion. You're talking as if you have seen his pay cheque and you seem to be writing everyone else's opinion off when they disagree with you. I haven't said you are incorrect. But I was offering the flip side of your argument. You're getting a bit worked up now. I've been a wanker on numerous occasions in my life but fail to see how I am being one here.

Anyone else picking up pot & kettle specs on this one?

Nope.

You're just doing it wrong.

Plus you obviously don't have the right card.

Topor knows.

[Jetmaster]

I'm a bit with poor Wilso....stats is just stats. We don't "know" what he is getting paid.
Surely you can find out for us Herald stalkers and kill this argument?
