00:00 - 00:05 | That's right, I used to be a recruiter for The Bleaters... |
00:05 - 00:07 | 'Come join us!' - we have such an amazing plan! |
00:07 - 00:10 | I'd drunk the Kool Aid! |
00:11 - 00:16 | Believed every word from the leadership |
00:17 - 00:21 | Until I saw the actual plan that was! |
00:21 - 00:24 | Hilarious! |
00:29 - 00:31 | Hilarious! |
00:31 - 00:34 | 4 players alone for north of $3m per year! |
00:38 - 00:40 | Hilarious! |
00:41 - 00:47 | Yep, we demanded Latrell Mitchell, David Fifita, Kotoni Staggs and Jai Arrow taking up more than a third |
00:47 - 00:50 | of a total cap of $9.5m |
00:50 - 00:56 | not even considering the other 26 in the squad! |
00:58 - 00:59 | Forget retentions! |
00:59 - 01:01 | We'd blow the cap sky high again! |
01:04 - 01:06 | No back-ended deals needed! |
01:06 - 01:08 | We'd make Raelene look brilliant! |
01:13 - 01:14 | Hilarious! |
01:14 - 01:16 | I said 'This'll never work!' |
01:16 - 01:20 | But do you think that stopped the bleating? NO! |
01:21 - 01:27 | So then they started calling the board inept, corrupt and all sorts of crap! |
01:35 - 01:36 | You know |
01:36 - 01:39 | The same board that gave $50k for the bushfire relief. |
01:41 - 01:44 | The problem was made worse by the likes of @DinkumDog |
01:44 - 01:47 | @187 and @Natboy |
01:47 - 01:49 | calling out the plan as doomed to fail |
01:50 - 01:53 | they said the club taking its time was better! |
01:54 - 01:56 | What a farce! |
01:56 - 01:58 | You can't blow your cap on juniors! |
01:58 - 02:02 | Actually maybe, we were prepared to pay Harry Grant $500k per annum |
02:05 - 02:07 | He hasn't even played an NRL game yet! |
02:10 - 02:11 | But wait! |
02:11 - 02:13 | wait... |
02:15 - 02:17 | It actually gets better! |
02:17 - 02:20 | @AlzzBulldog, when asked how much we should pay Josh Addo-Carr |
02:21 - 02:28 | said 'Whatever he wants'. So let's call it $800k - we would've been at $5m for 5 players before getting out of bed! |
02:29 - 02:30 | Before re-signing JJ? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Yep, way before Jacko! |
02:36 - 02:39 | They thought it had credibility! |
02:40 - 02:42 | It was utterly mad... |
02:50 - 02:55 | Then I started to think 'You couldn't write this!' |
02:56 - 02:58 | So what was the final straw? |
02:58 - 03:04 | I was tallying votes from the Bleaters on a motion that was put forward at a meeting |
03:04 - 03:09 | I'd counted @Marley, @NabsolutelyFabulous, |
03:09 - 03:11 | @Mbappe2020 |
03:16 - 03:20 | and then @Sancho2020 |
03:23 - 03:26 | And then I realised they were all one guy! |
03:31 - 03:36 | So I handed in my membership card and walked... |
