Don't say it too loudly, the team might get the jitters and not win a game for the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I actually don't think wsw or bris will make the 6. With wsw i think the relationship between club and players is irreconcilably damaged and thats going to have an impact. Plus there imports this season bar 1 have been shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Don't think we should talk about "finals" at all. Better to focus on each game as it comes. Field the best match-day squad for the game and set the right game-plan considering who our opponents are and when and where the game is, and focus on getting the best result possible in that game.

Parrot Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yes. We don't have the depth in our squad. Get a few long term injuries to key players and we're stuffed. Just look at what has happened to Sydney FC, and their squad has much more depth than ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) West Sydney are too far behind to make it Newcastle are rubbish and need a massive overhaul to make it CCM aren't much better than Newcastle and need an overhaul / things to really go their way That for me leaves us in with a good shout, particularly with how Sydney are sliding down the ladder. They need some bloody good replacements for their injured players to stay in it. That said the club has been so inconsistent and frustrating in the past I think it's a bit early yet Edited January 1, 2015 by mattyh001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 But if they can stay on the pitch in the second half of the season, never before have we had our best four players of the quality of Koren, Duff, Kennedy and Mooy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silva10 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Let's take one game at aa time. Win the next game and we go into the break on a high and maybe are able to sign a couple of players. Then we can see what we look like afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malloy Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Glory are likely to get the Melbourne Storm treatment from David Gallop if the salary cap rort allegations are true and then will play no part in the finals My understanding of the Glory situation is that they haven't done anything wrong. Merely that they would have gone over the cap if they had not moved players into Marquee status. I don't see much difference between electing two players at the start of the season or mid way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the matter of unreported payments Didn't know about the unreported payments. If true they do need to be punished in some way. As for the cap, I don't believe they did breach it rather that by season's end they would have if not moved outside. From my understanding the wages need to be actually paid or deemed to be paid to be counted towards cap not the wages that will be paid. Thus with under half the season wages paid at the time it is unlikely that they went over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the matter of unreported payments There's also the matter that marquee players, that is players paid wholly or in part outside the cap, have to be approved by FFA. It's not just a matter of finding that you are going to breach the cap and unilaterally choosing any old player to be a "marquee." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Allegedly Perth provided free cars for contracted players without reporting it as they have to, and reported that several players were sleeping at franchise HQ when they were given club paid for accommodation. All will be revealed in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
