Salary cap reasons? We're still under the cap this year by 600k+
For 3 months worth of salary (especially if we front load) there's not a single player in the entire comp we couldn't afford this season

You know I wonder if the media talk of us moving on Doueihi next year is half right.
He is on 600k next year and if we just pay him out from this years cap we will have his spot free.

How much is a train and trial deal? if it's still around 50k a year then even front load 550k this year and have him drop out of top 30 to Will Smiths spot next year (Train and Trial can't play until round 10 anyway). He's got a lot of love for the club so dropping out of the top 30 for the year with no financial downside shouldn't really be a hard sell when he can't play majority of the season anyway.

If he comes back and kills it then you can start talking extensions, I doubt anyone will be desperate to sign him until they see how he goes when he comes back anyway.

Edit: I want to add we have to use 95% of the cap per NRL guidelines & there is only 13 days until top 30s are finalised for the year, if we fill our last spot with someone like Galvin, James or TDS then we will have to front load someone anyway.

I reckon we should retain him and give him a chance. It's his career and I think it's the right thing to do. I don't think we will offer him another contract unless it's basically a bottom tier contract but let that sort itself out over the course of next season.
 
A mate of mine says they offered the brother in jail a shot with the Tigers when he is released from prison. That's why the brothers chose us. We committed to giving stabber some redemption.

That's ridiculous pub talk mate, no need to talk
about Manase when we speak of the other bros.
It's low and it's stupid dragging their names when
they've done nothing wrong. It's ridiculous man

Haha he’ll be in his 30’s by then and the only hard part of him will be the entry to his rectum.

Cynical to suggest our club would offer that.
We have Api signed for 4 & Tallyn coming up.
Give the club a bit more credit and respect the
2 boys. We have a knack for getting players
offside and turning them away. We're better

More than likely offered him a job.
Not playing footy but something else.
