In pounds I doubt he would be. But it's nearly 2 Aussie dollars to a pound, so I would imagine he would be over there. Nobody really seems to know what he's worth.

How did he make his money originally

I have similar concerns too. My original post was more in response to those criticising the signings as not being "marquee". Further additions still need to be made on the playing front and I would certainly prefer to see someone else in charge.

I got that DB, just I have seen a fair few posters thinking/saying that the reason for our failings have been the lack quality in the halves etc. For me that is only a small part of our failings this season. Had we had some form of structure to play to, actual set plays etc then these close games were we have lost would probably have been different outcomes.
However I have seen very little if any since the start of the season and certainly no improvement in the basics of our game or worked on areas to counteract the deficiencies in our squad/game. Yes Pryce & Sneyd will improve us but how much if they are left to do it on their own?

Too many people are obsessed with ''marquee signings'' rather than bringing in the ''right signings''

Spot on Chris. Improvement in the halves will certainly improve the team but only so much. If anyone thinks that that alone is the answer then I fear they are in for a shock next season. The way that I see it at the moment is that we have some good but not great players in the squad. Some have potential to push on and be great players but that's not a guarantee that they will. By and large most areas of the team could be improved upon.

NRL/state of origin winger on the horizon for FC!

I wouldn't have thought that winger is a priority area, especially as a SOO winger won't be cheap.

It is if you're losing 2.
