    Yeah, I agree with this.
    Our woes have been caused by a number of factors. Our salary cap was fucked up because of

    - making the GF in 2009. It inflated our idea of the ability of a number of players (Mortimer, Ben Smith, Joel Reddy) which had us paying overs
    - signings which looked good at the time but turned out to be failures (Tahu, Poore, Shackleton)
    - Sacking coaches before they get a chance to build their own team. New coach comes in and wants to start fresh
    - Paying numerous players to play for other teams
    - Paying Sandow overs

    Finally we seem to have something to work with under our cap. We aren't paying anyone in other teams any more, and we have a huge chunk of money from Hayne.
    I doubt we will make a splash next season, but we have plenty of chances to do something for 2016.

    In short, the issue was the rest of the team was shit.

    Basically, yes.
    I was just saying that there were a number of factors that led to us having shit players around Hayne, and it wasn't all due to his huge salary.

    If anything parra has shown the exact opposite of that.
    Having one epic player in a team of shit can turn you from a team fighting for the spoon to a team fighting for the top 8.

    We were only fighting for a top 8 spot because Sandow found some form, and we got some talented lower graders finally hitting First Grade.
    Hayne had a massive helping hand in our season, of course, but he was also with us the previous three years in which we were worse than dreadful (admittedly he was injured for a good chunk of 2013).

    Fuck Gerard Beale is the best signing Cronulla have made in a long time IMO. Just hope for their sake his knees hold up.

    Discounts at the leagues club maybe but not in the salary cap.

    DCE actually is the type of player that can make the rest of the team look decent just by gaining more territory and possession through his kicking.. a lot different to Hayne. And with Sandow constantly being a retard just handing the ball over doing his own thing, the team is going nowhere even if they signed some decent players.

    No idea why you'd release him, he should be a walk up start for most teams.

    Robinson always uses Friend less than 80 id anticipate Hastings to NSW Cup 6 or 7 and Srama in 14 most of the season barring injury

    It would have made sense to hold onto him a bit longer, even if you don't see him as a future. Until Moseley develops more at least.
