I'd say Matto will get medically retired and get his money anyway, and he would be off our books and his salary off the cap.

Maybe our side, including Matto, knew it would not cost the Storm anything in the long run.

Possibly but the talk was the Eels and Storm were keen on Matto to the Storms.
So if we knew he would retire we wouldn't have agreed to it.

I can only think that if he went to the Storm it may effect any insurance payouts in the future?

All this while Matto wanted to move but no one wanted him. Now, someone was willing to take him and he didn't want to go.

I don't know what to make of this guy.
Maybe going to England freaked him and he realised he can't live away from Sydney

If im being honest the 400k off our salary cap to presumably front load some other contracts to set us up for 2027 does sound very appealing and i can understand why we wouldve wanted to do it. The 300k transfer also wouldve been great for our pathway programs. So although im glad we stuck to our guns, i think the end proposal from the storm was quite good and its a shame matto is a merkin who will do anything to avoid playing.
