I think Sezer will play the genuine halfback role for at least the beginning of the year. he'll mentor the youngsters and begin to relinquish control as the year goes on, likely to Sullivan, who would likely partner Luai at the scrumbase in 2025 with Latu off the bench.If we are serious about Luai, then the plan must be for Sezer to be the 6 this year.
Sullivan and Finau to fight for the 7 spot, then Laui goes into the 6 for 2025.
It's not the worst plan, but if our offer to Luai is something like 4 years at $1.3m then it could ruin the balance of our roster for that period.
It's a huge swing, that could either work massively or fail miserably. I think the chance it works is a lot less than the alternative....
$1.3 million in this day and age isn't a bad thing. it won't bend our cap out of shape either, given that all four spine members are on modest coin. I'm not saying that's what Jarome will be paid, it could be more or less, but that number in my eyes is good business and a fair price for where we're at.
