Exactly. This is what the Storm do.

Find good players in lower ranked teams and offer them a chance to play finals for a cheaper contract. Those players then play at closer to their peak as they want to stay in the top 4 team or pick up big money from a desperate club.

Storm get guys off contract and offer unders.

Getting someone on contract gets more expensive

True but depends on the circumstances. If the club is desperate they'll often cover some percentage of the contract which has happened more times in the nrl than a human could count.

I'd back us if a desperate club wasn't keen. What would he be on $400k?

A bottom club would pay all of that and more to get him

I'm a fan of Tom. Better than Matt. I think he would make our top 30 and be a very handy player for us.
