should the the bulldogs does not agree with the asking price of sonny bill"s manager.would others clubs can afford him?he is back playing forward and injuries can come anytime while on the field.he had a knee problem during 2005 season and can be injured again.is the price his manager asking is a bit too much?

Answer 1

if he stays fit and well then in like 2-3 years he'll be worth it... but for now, only lockyer and johns deserve that kind of money...

and doesn't it suck that trent barrett is playing in england?

Answer 3

Nope. Uh uh. Especially now with the Salary Cap, clubs wouldn't want to go around spending a lot on a player who isn't that great, when they could sign others who could do the job just as well (maybe without the big hits). And the easy injuries thing, I agree with you on that one. If you're paying $750 000 for a player, you'd be expecting a bloody good one, and Sonny Bill just hasn't quite reached that status. Give it another year, though, granted it's injury free, and he'll be closer to that price.

I think that his manager is asking too much, but that comes down to if he does get signed at that price, and whether that asking for that much gets him where he wants to be. In the end, getting a big ego and asking for something ridiculous could be his own demise - take Lote Tuquiri, (i think) he asked for a lot, and now no one wants him.

Answer 4

although he is a great player he is not a match winning play maker. e.g. joey, lockyer etc they can win you games and premierships through there play making abilities. sonny has a big hit and a damaging run at the defence but how often can he do that to win! he must changed his game plan if he does not want to spend more time on the side lines
