And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Didn't we only sign Andrew Johns after Mr Moran had a chance meeting with Johns' agent while having a day at Lord's watching the cricket?

I can't imagine Paul Cullen banging on Simon Moran's door in the summer of 2005, saying " If you're off to Lord's for the cricket, Si, make sure you have a word with Joey about coming to the HJ, and I'll leave you to sort out Graham Appo if you manage to get him"


Great minds thinking alike, Lefty ... :lol:

Somewhere under the salary cap

The last 3/4 years of TS reign wasn't great to watch.

The entire Price reign was a struggle, bar a few great single performances.

so yea, its been 7/8 years of stagnation and frustration... we keep pumping the money out and signing the players... yet nothing really ever improves.... hopefully Powell can create a proper team.

I'm struggling to understand this Matty Russell story.

Are we saying that TS didn't want Russell but Simon Moran saw him as some kind of galactico signing that he wanted to have, so went over TS head. So how come TS played him as an ever-present, seemingly regardless of form, but as soon as TS left and Price came in, Russell got shipped out. Simon Moran was still here, so how come he didn't put his foot down and tell Price to keep Russell?

And is all this just based on Russell saying in a press interview that he spoke to Simon Moran?

As for Andrew Johns, Cullen talked about this on something recently, can't remember whether it was on the radio or Paul Wood/Micky Higham's youtube show. I think his side of it was that we were playing well and he was looking to the playoffs but he was worried about Nat Wood managing an injury and he asked if it was possible to get some extra cover, and Simon Moran said what about Andrew Johns, he was going to the cricket and could talk to Andrew Johns agent. And Cullen wasn't going to say no, because Johns was the best player in the world at the time. It's not like he was being forced to take Johns against his will.

To paraphrase Humphrey Bogart

"In all the executive boxes, in all the cricket grounds, in all the world, Andrew Jonns' agent has to come into mine"


What were the chances?

I'm not having a pop at Moran, far from it....but wasn't Burrell one of his ideas also? Could be completely wrong there but I very much doubt it was Price's.

Burrell didn't work out, from a cap point of view it was a low risk signing. Neither the club nor player deserve to be vilified for it not working out IMO. The RFL make a rule where you get cap dispensation and we tried to use it to our advantage to get a slightly bigger squad. It's a shame it didn't work out really and I'd commend the club trying such moves in the future.

I also thought it was worth a go but again we're fans....do you think Powell would've been up for this signing or would've not let it get off the ground?

I wonder what the spend comparison was between the Price era and TS last four years? One thing Price certainly can't say is he didn't have the resources to deliver a GF win.
