You don't tend to buy $3 million houses if you intend to live in it in 5 years time. Maybe if it was a $1 million property I could believe it was an investment property, but not $3 million.

Exactly , a 3 million dollar house has little room for growth, if it was a million it makes more sense as an investment.

Throw the investment property theory out of the window

Why not it might be worth 5million in 3 years

What large fish is coming ? People keep dangling this carrot. We havnt signed anyone since buddy , unless they are salary dumps or unwanted by their clubs.

The reality is the market we are in, is not conjusive to signing superstar players.

I didn’t say there was one superstar.

But that is how trade and free agency works right? Having the money to spend on a player to acquire their services?

I understand how you feel when we constantly get stood up at the negotiation table as it seems most player agents just use us as a bargaining tool to drive their client’s price up but that doesn’t mean we stop offering good players great deals at every opportunity.

The irony now is that one of our own players appears to be driving his price up against us as well.

Wherever Chad ends up I’d be very curious to know the salary he’ll command next year regardless.

We aren’t a viable option for players in their prime anymore . Even if the salary is above market value, they’re paying considerably more just to live in Sydney .

Another major factor is reduced opportunity to make money outside of the club . Teams in footy states can get players much more money by doing appearances, 3rd party sponsorships etc. there is only so much money to go around and rugby league players will be taking the lions share or the corporate money

Back to the bad old days of bleeding wanted players to
other clubs.
We didn’t lose wanted players under Roos.
ROK for example. He stayed & helped win the flag in 2012.

We are slowly but surely becoming that club again where we lose them at peak like the basket case clubs have.

Some degree of revisionist history there.

Two reasons ROK was exploring his options
1 he wanted a 4 year contract, the club was only offering 3 and
2 Roos was publicly chasing the contracted Daniel Kerr and stated (again publicly) that we'd have to give up 2 1st rd draft picks for him (and guess which uncontracted player was going to bring in that second 1st rounder?) Needless to say Ryan wasn't thrilled.

Kerr signed a new contract with WCE, ROK got his 4 year deal and suddenly the supposed homesickness disappeared, although to be fair he did get some extra midfield minutes.

So if Roos had had his way it would have been Kerr in, ROK out.

Although everyone in the media says we don’t lose players

There was a quite recent political scandal about someone on a wage not as good as Warner's buying a 4 million dollar investment property what are you talking about?
