Tedesco our worst recruit of the past decade. Change my mind.

Teddy is awesome. Will continue to improve.

[Adam Stone]

If you think tedesco is on any less than 1 mil, it is you who is the clown sir.

Our team is 7-5 while paying 20% of the salary cap to 2 players on top of a squad that was already already succesful.
Thank god we have been healthy this year.

Then again, we have been playing Maubs at centre because our depth is rubbish thanks to not spreading the salary cap properly.

1 mil should get you a player like Thurston in his prime. Cant think of a game that Teddy has won us this year.

It's a special talent, but somehow you get dumber every post.

I asked and you failed to answer.. Who said he is on a tenth of our salary cap?
Having been involved with the payment of NRL players wages (at another club) I can guarantee you the most he and Cronk would be on from the salary cap would be 800k.

I think your grasp of the defencive side of the game, the technicalities of Rugby League and positional play is limited.
Tedesco has received 3 points twice in the Dally M's this year so maybe try thinking a little harder, it makes life a lot more interesting.

Stone cold Stoneman.

I'm pretty sure he's on less than 1 million.
I'm informed the berries offered him just under that amount, and he signed with us for less.

Pisses me off massively that Dogs pumped his price when they weren't even close to being able to afford him with their salary cap problems.

Scumbags deserve everything that is happening to them. It will be a decade before they can be a force again.

You are just speculating how much players are getting, like anyone else. You can’t “guarantee” anything despite your involvement in some other club.

Anyway the exact percentage is not the point, the point is it’s a lot to tie up in two players and it’s already caused depth problems with Aubusson playing out of position.

Any more injuries to key positions and we’re toast. It’s a big risk and people are entitled to question it.

I'll drink to that JT.
I have not liked the berries since 1980. Still can't forgive Steve Gearin.

Nice point.
But we should bare in mind that Pearce was being over paid.
If we still had him and RTS we'd be tying up aproximately the same amount, and I'd much prefer Teddy and Cronk.

I don’t agree Pearce was overpaid, we were getting much better value for money than what we’ve got from Cronk so far. And Cronk is probably on a fair bit more.

RTS vs Tedesco? Good question. I’d take RTS in 2015 form, easily.

But Pearce is a dud in the big games.

Cronk will be judged in the finals.

Anzac Day and the derby isn’t big enough for you?

Yes you keep saying that Tommy but you’re missing the obvious point that if Cronk doesn’t stop being a dud in the week to week games there won’t be any finals.

[David Bill Williams]

Dont want to say it but if his form doesnt change Cronk is gonna be up there on my list,

Dont want to say it but I miss Pearce lol Pearcey and Teddy were a good combo in last years origin. Teddy and Cronk seem to have trouble linking,

However I will leave my judgement til the season ends to say if Cronk was a good or bad signing

[Andrew Walker]

No Anzac Day is St Georges GF as for the Derby game we dropped enough ball to lose 4 matches

It’s spelled defensive. Fetching lunch meals at West Tigers and managing the petty cash does not make you Ian Schubert. Sit down.

Oh and by the way, 800k is pretty close to being 10%.

Again, great player but does he present value for money?

The Michael Gordon comparison was slightly tongue in cheek but it so happens that he scored just as many tries in our game while surrounded by NSW cup standard players. On a tenth of the salary.
