Harry Grant for Momo - swap deal

There you go if one the money Mbye back to centre and momo to storm in the swap. BTW ive never heard of this kid is he any good?

Yes. He gets to learn first grade than ditch tigers for storm To be benefit from lol

At least we arent losing Momo entirely i think he has a year to go after this? He also gets to improve in the storm system we get someone who can cover our short comings. I still think there must be a lot of swings and round abouts to come this is all very bizzare what is going on ATM.

Heard we were after Harry Grant like 3 weeks ago, wasn’t sure if it was true or not so I’m assuming the club has been trying to get this done for a while now and the Momo loan deal was the only way to make it happen!

Gonna be pretty depressing watching him kill it then have to pack his bags up and go back to Melbourne.....

That's ok, Simpkin should be ready to go by then.

$327k is the median of the salary cap, but not necessarily the average salary. Without accurate salary figures it’s difficult to determine the average as it depends on how many players on a roster are earning overs and unders and by what margins. I’m guessing the average salary would be lower than $327k considering marquee players take up large portions of the cap - it would be interesting to know…

No I'm pretty sure you are not correct. Assuming the club spends 100% of its salary cap (I think they have to spent at minimum 90%?) then the average salary is, by definition, $9.8M divided by 30, for each and every club. We know these parameters to be set and not dependent on an individual allocation of funds.

The median is actually the calculation that is impacted by significant individual salaries, because it's the "middle value" of the set.

So for instance, an imaginary pool of 10 players
1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.2, 0.2 --> N = 10, sum = 6.4, median = 0.5, average = 0.64
1, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2 --> N = 10, sum = 6.4, median = 0.7, average = 0.64

Note how the median is skewed in the first set because of the uneven distribution of funds, even though the top 4 players are on almost the same money.

Harry Grant for Momo - swap deal

Wow, could be great for us. Good on us for being a club that could do this. A lot of clubs you couldnt trust. (Eels, Riff, Sharks, Roosters, Broncs...)

To be honest Iam more interested to know why we are rumoured to be shopping a centre than the AD thing. You would have to think there is a fish bigger than AD floating around that we are close to catching. Anyway it will keep the forum ticking for a day or two

Either that or one of our lads trialing is proving good value for an upgrade.

Brad Abbey?

Could this explain why some are suggesting we're enquiring around Aitken? Mbye back to 1, Grant to 9, Leilua and Aitken in the centres?

Leilua acquisition is highly questionable.
Mybe at fullback smells of stop gap.
Aitkins is not coming
Grant - will don't know about him.

No. (Your kidding)
No. (One bad season and ready for the scrap heap LOL)
How the would you know?
Exactly
 
The thing that is mutual here is that both blokes would have had a good preseason under belamy or madge. Something that Melbourne would know.
 
Momo is off contract this year.
He might stay there for JAC -
Harry Grant will return to Storm,
Simpkin or Liddle (2021) in 9

Agree completely. Leilua is a very good signing and Mbye was close our best in 2018 at fullback when uninjured.

Momirovski also comes back after a year with Craig Bellamy. it's not like we're losing in this

I think he's only signed up for this year but could be wrong..

Agreed

Also eases the pressure to rush Simpkin ahead of his time..

9 is a demanding position in the NRL..Grant would have seen more FG by now if not for being behind Cammy and B Smith...been a standout in Q Cup for last 2 years..

Momirovski also benefits from being in the Storm system for a year..

That's right, Momo originally signed in Aug-18 for 2019 & 2020 seasons
 
Grant will be great, but one year 'lease'?

And Momo leaving would mean zero depth in the centers AND no goal kicker yet again?

(Has to be more to this. Douehei in would add a GK and balance the squad (can play 1, 3,4,6,7, and kick) Surely a related move?)

Yep, Momo would not be back after this. It would be extremely naive to think you can loan an off contract player out.
