Some merkin suggested the second year was in the top 30, which makes the most sense. To a f**ken idiot like me anyway

What if we f**k him off after the Train and Trial?

Well he has a contract so we would have to negotiate a payout.

Are you assuming train and trial means you can cut the merkin at any time? I don’t think that’s what it means these days. I think it’s just how they refer to full time players outside the top 30. I guess they can cut them any time and the (full) payout doesn’t count under the salary cap, but in Samrani’s case the second year’s payout would count against the cap.

Source? You yourself just recently said you weren't sure what is going on about his contract, whether Samrani is in the 30 in 2026 - or anything really.

I’m sure the club announced his signing in the same announcement as a couple of other top 30 players. Not a word about train and trial, so I’m going off the official information. However the player doesn’t have an official profile on the club’s site, so nothing is certain.
