Well yeah if we can get 350k Souths only paying 400k for him lol
And we have to spend it for the current season
Has it even been confirmed that we've been granted the 350k though? Isn't that still up in the air because of the uncertainty around the estimated timeframe of Foran's potential return?
I’m not sure I probably should have worded that better. I meant that if we get anything granted it will only be the $350k and extra roster spot. I’m still not sure what happens if Foran came back after Round 12 anyway does that player they bought in as the replacement get released?
Since this is a new untested NRL policy I don't think anyone actually knows for sure how it will work. Last I heard before Xmas was that the detailed policy itself hadn't even been written and/or signed off by the clubs, there was just a brief overview of the principal, basically the same wording as the press release apparently. So there were a lot of points to be worked through, with many questions to be answered, setting out the exact details of how it will work in the real life.
Good question. Cap wise you'd have to pay the fill in player the rest of the season if you wanted to keep them once Foran came back... And then find another squad spot..So you would think you would have to release that player, or someone else to make room for that player...
Exactly, its sole purpose it to remove the reluctance of teams to release they star players for International games (to help grow the International Game). If they strictly adhere to the "press release" wording then it won't achieve that, simply because it's impractical for clubs to implement. Which means they won't release their players, so it will fail in its primary objective.
Not true, we have 1 spot free in the 30 Roster plus 1 spot free in Development players.
I thought it got tested out last year when Rapana got injured and Bailey Simonsen was the replacement. Simonsen ended up playing the whole year even when Rapana returned.
Nice, let's hope it's officially announced asap
I'm taking the piss,in other words nothing will eventuate,because we don't have the people capable,of standing toe to toe with the assholes,over the last 2 years,our club has become a bit of a joke,
Tass was upgrade a couple weeks ago into the last spot.
Nope. Tass was in the initial 29 man squad. He was upgraded to a development deal mid last season which rolled over into top 30 this season.
