I never said overpay young players…gergreg wrote: ↑June 13, 2021, 11:21 amYou overpay young players you end up like the Broncos. Player managers know who is being paid what. If you don't have a good balance of young players and experience - so the young guys learn their craft and salaries that match that dynamic, again you end up like the Broncos. If you start cranking up salaries for the young talented guys, the player managers get a whiff and soon enough the young guys all want that money, or they revolt and head for the door. Again the Broncos are the perfect example. If you're refusing to pay your senior players higher salaries, again the player managers know it ... they know that clubs are obligated to spend the majority of their cap so the money has to go to someone.GreenMachine wrote:You missed the point by a mile.gergreg wrote: ↑June 13, 2021, 8:01 amIt's not Supercoach. You can't just switch players in and out when you're ready to move onto the next player. You can't reduce a players salary mid contract. Rightly or wrongly, when players perform well above their salary most sides bump up their contract but I don't think I've ever seen it go the other way. A players 'next' contract may be less than the 'current' one but that negotiation doesn't happen mid contract.GreenMachine wrote:I'd argue Starling and Kris need more experience before we judge what they will become and I'd rather not overpay Croker and Hodgson for what I know im going to get... given thier age and injury history moreso than their contribution when they were younger and fitter...

I’m implying id rather pay younger talented players knowing they will have mixed performances as they develop experience INSTEAD of overpaying older players who are on the wrong side of 30, with an injury history and are pretty much a known quantity….like SJ.

I’d rather pay a younger player $300k over 3 years and deal with development issues and upside than a 30+ year old $900k who has injury history and is a known quantity.
