Wanting and being able to afford are two different things and we don’t have anything from Foran yet.
If you keep using Pay’s quote then substitute Api for Katoa and we were after either Ramien or Herman who both which weren’t interested because we wouldn’t match their asking price. I can’t see how we could have even 800k let alone 1M. We also need to use 95% of our cap each year so can’t just sit on 800k or more for a rainy day.
We can’t offer Latrell an IOU with a question mark at the end waiting for Foran’s compensation or waiting for try and release someone. I’d love to be wrong
You said you can’t see how we have that.
Simple. You simply substituted Katoa for api.
One would be worth 400-500k everyday of the week on the market in api.
The other would be on minimum in any club in the nrl.
Two of three listed that we are stated to have been playing for aren’t coming for under 700k no doubt in the world.
That’s 350k each. Raimen has got 500k+ we know that from reports. Api certainly didn’t leave manly for a pay cut which he was on good $ and we once again heard 500k+.
I’m not saying we offered that, that might be overs though either way it’s not like they where a chance at 200k each or something so small.
Katoa is not on a similar contract and if he is then our club is ran by clowns.
Assuming they aren’t that stupid which I am confident they aren’t that stupid we have at worst 550k there.
It’s not an if, Foran was injured in a rep game. He is out the season. We will get the 350k. If not more.
That’s 900k without tpa.
Anyhow no point going over it. We won’t be getting him we fucked that up.
