We have been through much worse than this.

Foran and DCE are the best halves going around and two of the most marketable players in the comp and we screwed it up.

I doubt it. Have you thought of the pressure the Clubs (Titans & assume Eels) have put on their club and other players as well as the players they bought.

When ever you pay top $ it is difficult to get your return. For a starters you need your $300,000 a year players busting their guts to win. So come next contract the club may be only able to afford $275,000 a year for them. It wont take long for losses to occur and unless you have a team willing to work through the tough times internal troubles will start.

There is only ONE player that is in the current team that has come there as a star, Killer. All the rest are surplus to other clubs needs or developed at Manly. (go through the list and see for yourself).

So I say lets bunker down do the best we can. It may take a few years to rise to same level but so what. I hate the idea of trying to buy our way back and move away from the successful formula.
