Well said cap space is no issue we’d have enough for Tupou......... I can’t see Easts doing it though so I guess they can wait an extra 12 months. As I’ve said before I don’t care if Sualii has to mow lawns for 12 months.
A player swap, by my thinking is just that - players.
We are not ending our contract with Suaali - just "loaning" him out until his contract ends.
Likewise, the Rorters would be just loaning Tupou out - but THEY continue to pay his contact.
Why should we incur a debt on our cap? Where's our benefit in that? They are gonna sign Suaali at least for Tupou's money, why should they get a bargain on their cap for one year?
Nah, we get a rental for a year, they get a rental for a year, then we are square.
Don't lose sight of the big prize, Brother. JAC in 2022.
We need the cap space for that. We don't want to be offering extended contracts to other guys who are not part of our make-up.
