I wish the kid all the best.! Be interesting to see how he goes

As much as Rammy wants it to be I strongly doubt Cronulla are only paying half of his salary over the lifetime of the contract. And if they are then he needs to redirect his ire at the Dogs because that would be about the worst deal since Alan Bond was alive

Little punk was born in 1998. I have had more shit years at the Eels, than he has been alive.

What is Woods on lets say 900k. I reckon it be closer to 800k but we stick with 900k.

What is he worth? Id say 600k. And thast is what the Sharks would of offered. The dogs would be chipping in the rest. At 450k id say more then a handfull of clubs where interested.
I reckon at 600kish only 2 or 3 would of .

He's worth more to the Sharks than to us IMO. We already have Junior coming on big money, and Brown and Alvaro are better players than Woods has been this year and even last year IMO.

Because I reckon Woods has been garbage for the most part. He's a genuine first grader but even at 500k you'd want.more than he has been offering

Agreed. Especially the 450 bit. But even moreso let's got the full 4 years, does anyone believe Dogs are stupid/desperate enough to pay Woods $1.8m over 4 years to play for Sharks? They could be paying a disproportionate amount for this year & next but any further at a significant amount would be sheer lunacy.
It takes 3 parties to agree for a contracted player to move but even so there had either have been better offers or they could have at least negotiated better with Sharks.
I kinda hope Ram is correct cause that'd right royally f**k Dogs for years

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And why would the dogs have paid $900K when he's only worth $600K anyway? They might have paid overs but that's a bit of a stretch. And it's not like he's lost a leg recently.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep, I doubt he’s on $900k each year. Maybe in the final year of his contract.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Given Mennings recent horrible form (effort) I was thinking he may well be one of the players Gus referred to as being "shopped around". Makes sense to me.

You do realise that the Dogs pay the bit that the club that picks him up don't pay...right?

You've lost it if you think Alvaro is a better player then Sharon, even this year and I'm a fan of Alvaro.

What?!? I had no idea! Can you write me a thesis on how contracts work, how to get people to break them and how to ignore them when they don’t suit your agenda?
I just don’t think Dogs will be paying half of his contract over it’s lifespan, because they’d have a got a better deal elsewhere either for Woods or Klemmer or any other f**kstick on their payroll

If he was born in 1998, then he probably can't remember 98. Lucky bugger.

No need for facetious sarcasm mate. Well if you know, then your comment sounds geniused.

You're the one who came in all aggressive assuming I wasn't aware that Dogs would pay the shortfall

He has no idea... lol.

For Rammy: a mid-season switch is a negotiation between all 3 parties (Dogs, Woods, Sharks). If the Sharks want him, and the Dogs want to offload his salary, and Woods is agreeable to going, then the negotiation becomes how much the Sharks will pay, and how much Woods will leave on the table to go there.

So if (theoretically) he is on $900k/ season, and the Sharks say they will take him on for $500k per season, then it is up to the Dogs as to what they do next. If Woods really wants to go, they are within their rights to say 'no, you signed here, you play here'. If he is desperate to go, then they can agree to let him go play for the $500k number, and the Dogs don't pay him a cent. HOWEVER the salary cap implications would still remain that the Dogs are on the hook for $400k (even if they agree not to pay him).

Why would the Dogs have a $400k figure counting against their cap? Because they feel they can replace Woods $900k production with a $500k player (or cheaper, and use some of that $500k elsewhere).
