Tigers got their moneys worth 
Former Wests Tigers star Joey Leilua has taken a brazen swipe at coach Michael Maguire after reports emerged he had been offered a massive pay cut.
As first reported by The Daily Telegraph, the Tigers had offered Leilua a train and trial contract worth $1000 per-week.
According to the News Corp report, the 29-year-old was previously earning around $850,000 per-year, meaning he would be copping a $800,000 pay cut after tax if he accepted the modest contract.

$1000 per week wouldn't feed him. He should have asked for unlimited access to the bistro at Ashfield.Tigers got their moneys worth

No way I'd continue to support a club that spent that much on a centre!
Smart clubs spend it on a rep player and then play them at centre

If he can't play 6,7, lock, fullback, centre and wing (and possible edge second rower), that's too much money!
Lucky the sharks didn’t spend that much on Dugan.

Here is a link to a story that mirrors some of Burgo’s views around patience with junior/developing players. So much so, that I wouldn’t be surprised if Burgo wrote it!
Interesting read…..well written Burgo

Good article. I don't remember being involved - but it's possible Darcie roofied me and then pumped me for information.
