What happened to all the massively backended contracts we used to hear about?
Wonder when they all expired? They would have freed up a stack of cash.
Would there still be any that were signed before Nolan arrived?
We only signed him for one year but managed to back-end it all into next year.
poor bastard is living under the church st bridge this year - but next year he's be able to afford a house
Losing Joseph Paulo is music to my ears. Sio is a good player but replaceable with either Goodall or Vai. I noticed Gower isn't on your list as going. I hope he stays. Allgood and Morgan should be offered to Canberra seeing that Supercoach signed them.
I agree with you that $1 million won't get DCE however with third party sponsorship $1.3 could.
Didn't we re-sign Gower?
Hope we can find room for Sio & Gower somehow
In regards to Inu, the dogs are the road block at the moment.
Sio is the best winger at the club.
He should have been resigned by the club before they even thought about Resigning Vai
Toutai was already contracted for next year when he signed the extension and Goodall was already contracted for next year as well. Sio is off contract so he's the one who goes.
Toutai and Goodall would also be on less than Sio, meaning we'll have more to spend on other positions.
What you are talking about is balance and I totally agree. If Sio goes and we are able to snag a specialist and experienced goalkicking centre like Inu that is a better use of our cap.
You're convinced we're after Inu?
I read somewhere that we've got no cap space left.
They were at final stages of negotiations a week or two ago. The fact there hasn't been an announcement yet is a little bit concerning for mine.
Gower has been a standout this year, and a must for our team moving forward.
In regards to Inu, the dogs are the road block at the moment.
They want us to take over the full contract but we won't budge. If Sio and Paulo are not re-signed we may change our mind.
I am hearing we don't want INU.
Good to know it has absolutely nothing to do with 6 years ago.
Also good to know we didn't sign any backended contracts under Nolan.
Cheers for the info emjaycee.
