On SEN the other day they referred to an article ( I think by presenko ) that the storm had offered to pay some of Matto’s salary and thus provide us cap relief but the kicker was they didn’t want him on their roster or anywhere near the joint lol!
Yeah I read it was a bit over 200k which based on reports wouldn’t have even been his whole remaining salary for the rest of the contract period .

zac, get your passport ready

Good on the Warriors. They more than anyone, they seem to lose players constantly.

They get screwed each time. They pay good money for players who don’t stay, how can they build a team effectively when someone they sign pisses off before the contract is up? They were lucky with AFB that they were able to get JFH to replace him.

It really sets clubs back building a squad expecting players to be there for a certain number of years, and other decisions are made on the back of that. Same with us with lomax that’s why we doubling down

Players want to go? Fine. I’m all for clubs insisting on player trades. It might stop players and managers from handing out stupid long ass contracts in the first place.

Except in this case there's a sick kid involved. Are the Warriors really suggesting that if they don't get what they want in return they will block him from going? I don't think so.

They probably want a big forward to replace him. Matto ?

The player swap idea worked well for us with Lomax. No one wants to give up decent players.
Yep. Here’s a talented player with a shit attitude. We want to swap him for one just as good but without a shit attitude. Cheers
