On 360 tonight, Brent Read said that he received information today that the Bulldogs may actually try to swap Elliott rather than sack him.
To me, the only way this would be acceptable is -
1. If the player we get in return is of equal contract value OR they take on his full wage.
&
2. Only if we legally cannot sack him.
He may be a useful pawn to trade if it indeed helps us to pry a player on contract at another club of value to us.
If that were all come to fruition it would look a bit better optically to help him out rather than leave him out on the streets, as he seems to be a loose unit who has the potential to go off the rails & suffer with mental health issues. If that happened after we booted him then somehow the world would blame us.
I know Ricky Stuart loves him as a player as well as Gus & Ricky being really tight, so perhaps the deal could be there.
I'd love it to be Tapine, but I doubt Ricky would let him walk.
