Wouldn’t this season now be over as we have ticked into November? Would imagine the financials can’t be back-tracked.
Shithouse Idea....
Unless we have 3 mill left from this years cap, (That expired on Nov 1 by the way) and they've already been paid?
As of yesterday, We're paying them for 2025.
- 300k to get them to leave, Minimum 200k to replace them with a player of lesser value...
Where is the sense?
The next 2-3 years isn't 'Short Term' It's longer than most of our squad is contracted for....
It’s a good point. If we have them on the books anyway and the only sticking point is the roster spots can we afford to pay them in full this year and sign 3 forwards in Fainu, Hetherington and May?
(unless the rules have changed) Any payment to terminate his contract would go against the cap. The club and player can agree on the payment amount and duration. If the agreed amount was 1mil for example then that 1m could be paid in one sum (again must be agreed upon) and be counted on the cap of the year the payment occurred. If it was agreed at 1mil paid over 3 years then it would be 333K against the cap each year.
Every time someone says 'pay him out' to any of the players being discussed need to consider that pay out value is counted against the cap. Say we did pay out 3 lesser named (cheaper) players that would be between 3-400k less cap space to replace them with. I'd doubt we have the cap space to pay out multiple players and bring in quality replacements. Probably could with one player two might be a stretch and 3 pretty unlikely I'd say.

Tigers are on the hook for them for the next 3 seasons. So either we pay the reported $300k or so for each to play elsewhere for the entire length of the contract or we pay forward while the club HAS the cap space to lower the freight in 2026 onwards.
I've not heard the club having trouble affording buying players for next season. It's roster spots. So I'm assuming there are probably the dollars invested in Papali'i, Utoikamanu etc mostly available- somewhere between $800-$1.2m I would assume.
Yes great idea

I don't need to.
I've watched everything they've done coming through.
I'm aware of Galvin's ability in different positions.
It's whether he is or not.
I think we also need to put some pressure on them and there manager as well by saying you can stay but it will be reserve grade.
Happy to contribute to other clubs but not paying most of it.. Rather keep them in reserve grade as back up to the back ups.

How?
They have Dom Young and Tupou - Both top tier Wingers on Good Money....
unless they're shipping off Tups, But he just re-signed also...
Then there's the high profile Rugby guy - He's got a bot of something also....
He's not playing for crackers I'm sure of it.
Where does he fit?
I reckon they're playing for a big name half and middles in the next year or so...
Sione Mata'utia is a good player but from recollection suffered from injury. The SMH article provides background.
