So what do you make of, "they can't register Crichtons contract because they don't have the cap space" than FFS
You seem to think contracts are all one way. Crichton and his manager think he is worth that amount and the Rorters don’t.
Uncle Nick, wants value for money and will entice anyone HE wants by way of TPA’s. Go back and have a look at their team when they won their recent GF’s. It was a virtual rep squad. Teddy, Cronk, JW-H and Morris brothers to name a few. They even had Hall from the UK on the wing, hardly played any first grade games for them yet he was the Great Britain winger!
Rorters gave us Napa and Flanno before their contracts were up as they knew they had far better coming though their system and they weren’t worth the money they were on at the Rorters.
Once they off loaded Flanno, they had Keary as their first choice replacement and when he got injured they then had Sam Walker to fill the void.
So every player does have a value we just can’t compete with the offers players get to join the Rorters but it doesn’t last forever as like the Storm they’re always churning out or buying players that are value for money.
