It's certainly not because we can't afford Radradra. It's because we don't want to pay overs. I doubt Jennings is on that much either. He came because we offered security (a four year contract at age 27), not because we offered stupid money. Our offer to Hayne shows we'd rather lose a player than pay overs.

Semi is worth 550k

No team would pay it...

Says who? Brisbane could pay that and probably only have half it on the cap to boot. French Rugby would pay it in a heartbeat, so would Japan.

If he was to put his foot down and say "Brisbane/RU have offered me 800k, match it or I'm gone" are you going to be in here shouting poor management when we laugh at him?

I know you said most clubs are cheating, but the Broncos can?
That'll do me.
Going by your own logic, shouldn't we cheat as well, to keep him?
Yes but I doubt we'll be cheating. If we can't pay Radradra outside the cap (as an inducement to stay, which is cheating) then we shouldn't match bigger offers.

No we should magically find rich fans masquerading as sponsors willing to pay a player $300k to turn up at a couple of games of golf. And then tell the NRL it's not an inducement to re-sign with us.
