True. Either way, i can't understand Pay's refusal to pick To'omaga. The bloke has worked tirelessly and is in great form in ISP, what more can he do? And then for a bloke to just walk into the side after just 30 minutes of ISP off the bench and an interrupted pre season? It just feels so wrong to me.
Let's look at it from a salary cap perspective where really we know shit about what our situation is other than what we read.
Is To'omaga in our top 30? If his not then we can't use him unless there are significant injuries and we need a dispensation from the NRL where he would be entitled to a pay increase. Does anyone know if we can fit an increase in? No we dont.
What I'm saying is that before we go like a bull out of a gate and criticise Pay get the facts because we don't know if he and others can't be picked based on the top 30 or cap constraints. If To'omaga is in the top 30 he could have a clause that states if he plays FG he gets a pay increase which again maybe we can't afford and has nothing to do with his ability and form.
