it's just words wrapped around his online chat the other day

and has been pointed out - he could be a GWS target - not GC.

with newspaper profits tumbling - you can see they have had to cut back on journalist wages. it's just easy copy for them to produce
 
not much going on there..the most serious issue is NN getting a haircut..could be a good thing - remove the novelty factor..at least he can play, unlike the blonde dreadlocked tiger last nite who (set shot at goal)kicked it into his man, retrieved the ball, then kicked it out of bounds..i was embarrassed sitting on the sofa! ;)
 
Not worried about losing Nic at all.

It's be crazy of them and GWS not to try it on though.

The thing with GC17 and GWS is sure they get a bigger salary cap and list but it doesn't last forever. In 3-4 years they drop back to everyone elses cap level and it will take them that long to even get into finals.

For players at the end of their careers it could be a good deal but for someone who wants to play finals and win a flag..........:confused:
 
Something I was thinking about lately re: Gold Coast and WS salary caps:

Do they have to pay a minimum salary cap like the rest of the competition? I think it's like 93.5%, not sure though. If they have to pay a minimum of around 93.5% of their increased salary cap, they really need to have a few high paid superstars from other clubs, or they will end up overpaying most of their young players to what they are really worth, and then be in trouble when the cap concessions end.
 
I was discussing the salary cap with a mate yesterday and he brought up an interesting point. At the end of the day a club who is successful, eg Geelong, is paying its players the same as a club who are basically terrible, eg Richmond or say Melbourne.

He was saying how insane that is as the gumby sides are overpaying a mediocre playing group where a group of guns are getting seriously underpaid. I suppose the cap works well by evening the comp but rewarding success isn't a high priority obviously.

Do players get a bonus for winning a flag? I recal they do but not much!
