Implying they don't think he's worth anything. He is surely good enough for their top 17, and if they let him go they will need to bring in somebody else. That money comes out of whatever cap space they would free up by subsidising his exit by half a million. It all adds up. Are they really that desperate?
Because we're buying an Arab?
And worse runners at dummy half last year.
Exactly
Brown can also fill in at hooker and back row. He is also top 25, meaning we don't need to commit to the second tier cap so early.
Sure but how much will they really have left to spend after paying him out and replacing him? It's the move of a rebuilding club, not a premiership contender.
Precisely. Unless his forwards dominate his running game is wasted.
Video session could be awkward
Plenty of line speed from him too. And the merkin can hit a gap. Just mightn't catch the pass on the way through.
And then rips off the Eels jersey to show he's got freaky piercings in both nipples.
The implication isn't that they don't think he's worth anything. They have a choice of having him for a million dollars or not having him and paying him out less than a million dollars. Realistically they would value him less than a million, they got their benefit earlier in the contract (probably) when they valued him more than what they were paying him. It really depends on what they could get in return. If they could get someone in return who they value at a million dollars, but are able to work the contract so that the cap hit next year is only half mill, and can get rid of Graham for half a mill, then assuming they value Graham at half mill or less, they're presumably ahead... for now. But hey if it worked once
It's not my fault others weren't posting in between.
I would expect Moses to play tot his best ability against us, which would prove to me he is a good team player. His loyalty is to the team even if the team his playing against may be his team the day after. That is what I want to see from him, just hope his team has an off day. However, when was the last time we beat the Tigs? Can't remember but think they are a bogy team for us, a bit like the Titans.
So the Panthers hope the cap is $9.3m next year but if only $9m they want a $300k exemption. How they fit their entire squad under the cap for this year is dumb founding. I mean Tamou and Merrin probably take $1.4m between them so how all the rest fit is amazing. As most are juniors probably they sign on for less?
