that aint saying much, but id welcome himneilson is better than tautai and pom
a back row of toops gal and LOD is better that what we have.
as is pritchard.
neilson is better than tautai and pom
all are better value
Problem is who are we going to be losing to pay for these players and what other positions are going to be weakened?
Covell will be one. Williams will likely be another. Barrett may be gone. I think it is likely he'll bail myself. I think the Pom is for the door as well.
That's nearly a million bux there
I dont really see any value in LOD nielsen or pritchard.
I just spoke to someone who would definitely know and we have NOT signed Dane Neilson yet . The words I was told is "He is still open to all offers ..."

Covell is not likely to be on much more than the bare minimum. We were very late in re-signing him and it was only a 1 year contract.
Williams I'd be surprised if he was on much more than 200k, likewise for the Pom. Either way I think we're going to have a hard time offloading the Pom, at the very least without having to pay part of his contract.
If Baz goes we should be throwing his 350k at a half. Ports/Smith/AK/Lewis is a very shallow halves pool to call on.
I think you are being very generous with your estimates Frenzy.
I have a feeling he is going to play on.
Put Baz down a certainty to leave. If Flanno gets him to stay, it will be exceptional people management skills & an abslolute truck load of cash. I have no idea what Flanno is going to do if he cant get him because the market is tight & the numbers very low.
If he's on 350k, no way he's worth upgrading. Baz has been good in his time with us, but he has certainly not proved himself a bargain buy for the money he's on.
The player is worth, what he is worth to the team at the time.
If we have a gun squad next year but no 5/8, it will be a massive mistake to not sign Baz, at ay price. Forget Kelly, he is nowhere near ready. That leaves Lewis & Ports in our squad & possibly Morris.
You are not buying the player but paying to complete the team.
Our best option now is Finch.
