Yep, well IMO this is the only starting position up for grabs. One of those will miss out.Rusty will be our starting right winger with Bailey the odd one out.

Him tooReed Mahoney?
Sure but then why move to Sydney to struggle to be in the 17 when he can do it from home?unless he was told by Hannay that he may struggle to be in the 17 if he stayed?
How do you survive without being able to consider all sides of an argument?
Russell and Simonsson in reserve grade is a poor use of cap space. You want most of your backups on minimum salary, not $300kWhy reserve grade? He would replace Russell in centres.
Your opinion is worth as much as anyone else’s on here. Don’t let a bunch of negative whingers keep you down.I'm first to admit i carry on like a complete dickhead on here too but when people complain I atleast take check.
Just read the good ones then.It's a shame cause you have plenty of good posts
And if we still had Lomax, some other merkin would be the odd one out as well. It starts to become an expensive reserve grade side. This is why I claim we wouldn’t have signed Kelly if Lomax hadn’t left.Rusty will be our starting right winger with Bailey the odd one out.
Yet even with no lomax one of them will be in reserve grade.Russell and Simonsson in reserve grade is a poor use of cap space. You want most of your backups on minimum salary, not $300k
I’m fully certain we once had a similar argument where you didn’t like my idea of having top 17 on heaps then 13 merkins on nothing. Anyway I think Russell is on relatively minor amount, and it all depends on if there’s some cheaper bloke doing a better job than the expensive one.Russell and Simonsson in reserve grade is a poor use of cap space.

And now we are trying to claim the benefit of not having to play against him. Having our cake and eating it too. If he ends up at the Storm before 2029, this is likely to be the argument that gets him there. If we’re not willing to take him back, we won’t be able to stop him playing for someone else. I hope I’m wrong. I hope the merkin suffers financially for f**king us around, but I’m a childish, vindictive fan. Justice Kunc probably isn’t.
True, but also it was probably a bit hit and hope comments from us at time, but also we were offering Koloamatangi a shit load too. I thought we probably perhaps a lot of our recent resignings were heavily frontloaded but perhaps they haven’t been yet and I think it’s possible we have space for at least one really decent signing.I am of the opinion we have a tonne of cap space to play with. If we didn’t we would not have asked storm for Coates or Stefan as we would not be able to afford their salary. They would not play for free.

I think the eels will have to argue that the clause is not a restraint of trade and is necessary to protect their interests.
