I'm opting for Big Rigs narrative.. far more appealing.. the reasons he comes to us:
o We give him that 3yrs which he wont get if he stays, or if he goes to the Rorters.
o We're also going to pay him more during that 3yrs than a big name club.
o Flanno has the relationship already, best-mates.
o Val has his choice of position.. probably fullback.
o Val can get back to living in the shire where he has probably wanted to get back too anyway.
o He has a new ambrose partner with an all round top bloke.
As you can see, its a slam-dunk case, im happy to write this up and stick it in an email to his manager if there is any more confusion.
