| Quote RescuedBlue="RescuedBlue"Leeds have become a success on the field, and off it for that matter with regards to sticking to salary cap restrictions, by doing the exact opposite of what you keep suggesting
Your argument is full of so many contradictions and holes that it is no surprise people are getting frustrated with you
From what you are saying, in a nutshell, because Scott Donald isn't an International then he won't be on much money. Well, we have a proven winger who has scored a sackful of tries consistently for 3 seasons, so not signing him up for the buttons he will be on would be criminal. Wouldn't it?
On the other hand, Lee Smith, who I do rate and want to stay at the club, is now an International and so should be paid much more than Scott Donald. Despite him not being as consistent over such a period of time.
You'd do a good job of getting Leeds relegated if you were in charge, even in this day and age of no promotion and relegation'"
I would stick to your day job of been a thick s[ihi[/ittt If I was you. Because you certainly cant read, if you have come up with that poop. |

| Quote DISA="DISA"Just so me and you can draw a line under this misreading.
Donald is out of contract at end of season. He is not going to get offers from the NRL and Union. He aint good enough for that. He can not be approached before a certain time by other super league clubs. (yes I know what happens in reality, but we still had time anyway). There was absolutely no need for the club to be offering him a new deal at this time. And if anything he should have been made to earn it more in relation to this seasons performances to date.
On the other hand. Smith established himself last season into the star that some of us more educated people on here, knew he would be. He took an honour that not many players can say they have earned, in a GF winning MOM. At that point our CEO said there is no chance of Smith leaving and we will set a priority in getting a new deal for him. That was announced to the media.
Up until a few weeks back, that had not happend. No offer had been made to Smith. This despite Wigan already announcing their interest last season, and speculation surrounding union clubs. Not only that but since that GF he also went on to become an International, which under Leeds own salary structure then entitles him to an increase.
Now, if you were a non biased CEO of any company in a similar situation to those scenarios above what would you have done? I would be suprised if you do not be honest and say that Smiths contract should have been discussed upon long before now. Therefore that is the point.'"
I give up. Nearly. This whole conversation is now about Lee Smith. THe thread is about Scott Donald. Whatever is going on with Lee Smith's contract is NOTHING to do with Scott Donald's contract, unless we are operating considerably closer to the full salary cap than most seem to think. Frankly, if we can't afford 2 senior wingers (if we're still counting Smith as a winger) in the squad, then Lee Smith leaving is the least of our worries.
If you want a thread about Lee Smith and his contract, go ahead, I know nothing about his contractual situation or what point negotiations are up to, so I'd be unlikely to join in. I do know that I am pleased Scott Donald has signed an extension, and I am also fairly confident that this has nothing to do with Lee Smith or the club's priorities. Unless we can only afford one of them (which I doubt) or negotiations are only possible with one player at a time (which I seriously doubt). |

Which is why I put at the very start of this thread
Quote El Diablo="DISA"Nice to see the club see the priority of re-signing an underperforming Australian, rather than put its efforts into resigning one of its most promising academy produced players.'"
With the expectation of getting a reply from a certain poster, knowing it completely contradicts that posters previous arguments.
How many threads do you usually see on here that don't waver off into something else? |

Classy
So you haven't contradicted yourself then?
Quote DISA="DISA"I would rather throw all of Donalds salary into keeping Smith. It is far better value for money'"
Despite
Quote DISA="DISA"Leeds salary structure works on more for an international'"
So you are saying Donald will be on less than Smith anyway, so surely a top class winger with a proven scoring record who is on very little money needs to be kept on?
You are making no sense. Don't start getting aggressive and name calling just because you can't back up what you are saying
By the way, its a bit rich calling someone else thick when you don't know the difference between 'AS' and 'HAS' |

Fair comment. Since the weekend approaches, we'll agree to disagree on this one shall we? |

So. we've lost 4 out of 5 games, and the answer to our on field problems is.....<drum roll>......SCOTT DONALD!!!
I'm not convinced people.
I think we should have thanked him for the 3 seasons he actually played to his potential,.... and when it was good it was very good..... and bought him a ticket on Quantos.
If this is all that Garry has up his sleeve, then its going to be a long, long season.
