Rabbitohs Chris McQueen has agreed to terms with the Panthers for next two years, The Rabbitohs allegedly paying $150,000 of Mc Queens contract for the first year.
@Milky said:Looks like a straight replacement for Lewis Brown, Panthers are too good when it comes to recruitment and retention.
@Sabre said:Lucky he's a Queenslander.
Is he going to get his Penrith player number tattooed on his other neck?
@teddy23 said:His got another year left but Rabbits are willing to pay off a majority of his contract for that year now, with the Nrl blocking the Burgess deal.

I'm not sure you people understand how the cap works. Yes Souths might be desperate to shop him around, but in order to free cap space for Burgess they need another club to pay almost the entirety of McQueen's new contract! Anything they pay him still gets included under the cap!
He wouldn't be cheap. Far from it!
We're not going to spend 4-500k on him so forget. Probably the same thing with Penrith, if he was cheap clubs would snap him up.
Walker on the other hand, Manly were seemingly quite happy to pay his full contract value - so Souths released him.

Again though , if you can find a TPA for a player that can make all the difference

Not really Happy, if he's contracted for say 550k his contract would still need to be the equivalent of $550k for next season. Regardless who pays it. I doubt he'd simply dismiss the income he's guaranteed, for a TPA which may not materialise in full.
Souths need cap space, so they need another club to directly take that cap space for next season. We could offer a 3 year deal with TPA's for the latter years but his registered contract for next season would still retain a cap value of $550k.
If that's what he was on you think they'd want us (or Penrith etc) to pay at least $400-450k
