So the Sharks want Woods before June 30, as do the Tigers with Mbye.
Here is the deal that makes most sense to me.
Both clubs have stated that they have room in their cap this year, so they can afford to pay them this year.
As we know, our season is finished, so we can still try to gain something, probably not for this year but at least for next year.
THE OFFER
Both players go to their new clubs before June 30 and we will pay them this years wage in full.
In return, their new clubs scrap the freight costs we would normally incur out of our next years cap. We dont pay a cent after this year.
Using Mbye as an example, apparently next year we were to pay him 200k to their 700k. The tigers might say that they only have room next uear to pay 700k, and fair enough.
This is where both Sharks & Tigers have left themselves open to a loophole that we can explore to our advantage.
As both Sharks & Tigers have both publicly stated they have room this year, they pay the players the extra that they are owed for next year to them this year.
For example the Tigers pay Mbye that 200k this year. Its almost like they pay him 200k for half a years contract which is pretty cheap seen that to them he is a 700k plus a year player.
The player loses nothing because we are still paying them their full wage this year and the extra from their new club makes up for less next year.
The other clubs get their man to help them out with a shot at this years premiership & still under the cap.
And we get a full salary cap to work with next year.
Win, win and win, all the way around.
I hope this might be something the club is working towards to put us in a better position to start next season.
