It’s pretty easy to work out why we didn’t swap Napa. Penrith wanted us to pay the bulk of his salary. I doubt we have the cap room to absorb Napa’s freight and pay Burton’s contract.We had a chance to swap him for Napa and didn’t . . . WTF ?? We want Napa out, we wanted Burton in for 2021, we had that opportunity and didn’t think that was a good option. it’s inexplicable
Someone just tell uncle Arthur to kick in..It’s pretty easy to work out why we didn’t swap Napa. Penrith wanted us to pay the bulk of his salary. I doubt we have the cap room to absorb Napa’s freight and pay Burton’s contract.
Yeah I’m sure it’s that easySomeone just tell uncle Arthur to kick in..
We’ve been paying for nothing in respect to what Napa has given us in any case. We were hopeful of getting both Burton and BSmith for 21 around Christmas, which suggests to me we could of paid some of the freight and had change.It’s pretty easy to work out why we didn’t swap Napa.

Don’t forget we bought Allan too. As it stands now we only one spare spot which Tbaz said was always getting left for Burton so I’d say we have less then $500k. There was never anything concrete about B Smith being here in 21.We’ve been paying for nothing in respect to what Napa has given us in any case.

It’s probably about the principle. We pay 100% of what is left of Burton’s salary plus the majority of Napa? Penrith knew we’d never say yes to that but wanted to look like they were at least willing to negotiateWe’ve been paying for nothing in respect to what Napa has given us in any case.

I’d assume Napa would also have to agree to it too. Maybe he wasn’t interested in moving.It’s pretty easy to work out why we didn’t swap Napa. Penrith wanted us to pay the bulk of his salary. I doubt we have the cap room to absorb Napa’s freight and pay Burton’s contract.
From dummy half he canLewis can’t pass
Tomorrow................... lol lolWhen will it be announced?
Don't agree mate. For me, Lewis has no wrists. His passes are all arms swinging, inaccurate, slow and loopy. Even in some training drills I saw he couldn't hit a target from 3 feet, which I think is also about attitude to training. He'd be a terrible dummy half. Also too slow to do anything with quick restarts, which are increasing. JMK and Katoa aren't great either, but it's Lewis for Mounties bench IMO.From dummy half he can
Wow....he has improved!Yes he can!
Into the 3rd row!
Need to send him to India for a one on one session with VVS Laxman..Don't agree mate. For me, Lewis has no wrists. His passes are all arms swinging, inaccurate, slow and loopy.

Oldpup you still kicking round brotherHe was never going to be first choice in 2021 with Staines coming in. It was just a matter of how best to handle it.
If this is accurate it is laughable!Basically Penrith wanted us to pay $960k for them to release Burton early. That's $650k of Napa's contract, they wanted to pay nothing, plus $250k which is Burton's contract with us, plus reimburse them the $60k that they had already paid Burton. Every cent of which is included in the CAP, which means we use up $960k of our cap and they effectively get a Cap increase of $960k.
Anyone who thinks that we should have accepted the Burton for Napa under those terms swap needs to see a doctor immediately, they are seriously delusional.
Go Dogs
It's actually the Penrith board being c***s. Ivan is the patsy.Yeah i get that our board will not give up on trying to get him but i dont believe Cleary will let him go he's too valuable to him.
Maybe your source has jumped the gun and want him with us as much as we all do.
Im hoping that im wrong!
