You should have stuck to ‘the OP is absolutely ridiculous’.

Bang on Francis. Back in those days of Galea, Vella, Newton etc, the gap between the SL & NRL cap was way smaller than it is now, making it much easier to sign players. Even looking at the crop FC brought over for 2016 (Fonua, Pritchard, Manu & Tuimavave), it'd be impossible to get that same value for money now. In some cases, players can earn more playing 2nd tier in Aus than they can in SL. Clubs now have to be much more savvy in their recruitment & retention, or throw money around in transfer fees. I think the younger players Rovers have recruited have been decent, like Mulhern, Minns, Oakes, Atkin etc, mixed in with a couple of promising academy products. The issue is the average Joe contingent like Lee, Tickle, Jewitt, Clarkson, Scruton etc, which were necessary to enable Rovers to get back up and then to stay up. The OP is absolutely ridiculous in their expectations as it's quite clear Rovers are trying to build something much more longer term.
Jesus, some modicum of sense from an FC fan. I need to sit down.

Fair point.
I like their assumption that players are that easy and free to get rid of whilst under contract, like it's all one big fantasy league game.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas
