If I had a Tesla and it was stolen should I then call it an Edison?
I think Avenger is referring to Hindy's work as a radiographer.
Tesla didn't invent that either.

Or Hindy's time owning a remote control car shop.
Tesla didn't invent that either.

Or Hindy's work with relatively dangerous novelty lighting.
Tesla did invent that one.

Mick told me a few tales about Avenger and his younger days....
A real charmer apparently. Couldn't keep the women off him. Gee Avenger

With the Knights signing Hymel Hunt today they probably have no need for Jennings (and picked up an arguably better player for half what Jennings would cost).

Probably leaves us with French to the dogs being the only thing that gets Hayne into our squad

Even if we didn’t have to pay French, Taka or Hoff a cent, I doubt we’d have enough to pay Hayne what he wants

I think the only player who we want to offload who is on a low enough salary that another club would be interested in would probably be French. But I'm only saying that because I doubt he's on that much. I think the rest are all on stupid money, and this is probably demonstrated that we're apparently close to the cap limit with a petty average roster.

Again?

I think the only way we could deal, if we had say $200K we could back end something to get him on board, problem is you cant back end a 1 year deal, and from reports we only wanted to offer a 1 year deal and Hayne wanted a 2 year deal

Its looking less likely by the day.

At the moment

1. French
2. Ferguson
3. Jennings
4. Gutherson
5. Jennings

Others not even Top 17
Takairang
Hoffman

Combined are taking up too much of the back 5 (The Plane positions) salary cap.

At least one, potentially two, have to go before we can consider The Plane landing at Parra...

That's such an average backline. The best player in it, was Easts most expendable.

You are obsessed with this 30 thing

If we offload a decent player, eg mennings, then we are gonna be paying a chunk of his salary this season - which will consume a top 30 slot ... so even offloading someone now wont make the roster spot

I dunno we could push a guy like davey out of our squad yo try and keep a spot open???

We could kill someone.

The only reports I read were here from @emjaycee which were the other way around - Hayne wants one year and club wants two. And I suspect the club wants two for the reason you suggest, backending is the only way they have to offer something reasonable.
