Brisbane famously punted Wally Lewis, and never looked back.
As for Cayless - I love him on the field - he playes with the pride and passion that the jumper deserves. However, let HIM decide if he is a parra man for life by agreeing to his next contract.
Offering all available funds to Hindy is rediculous. We need only offer him enough money to keep him here. That should not necessarily rob Cayless of money.
Finally, one point. Back in 01 we offered big contracts to Cayless, Vella, Hindmarsh, and Lyon - being our 4 best hopes for the futire, and (with freshy) the blokes we would build the side around.
Pick 4 now, and you have Hindy, Cayless, Morris and probably Dykes. The point? Things change. Caylo is no good in hospital, no matter HOW good he is.
