I dont know the exact procedures (step by step), but it would go something like this;
Bulldogs: Hi Chris, I have heard JT is having some issues with TP
Chris; Hi *****, yeah the road is getting rocky up at Townsville
Bulldogs; Chris, what are the chances of JT looking for a new club, a new challenge and a leadership role
Chris; *****, you know we are always open to discussions and my clients always come first
Bulldogs; Whats it going to take Chris?
Chris; *****, you know the deal JT is currently on
Bulldogs; 6m over 5 years, + (extras and bonuses for the both of you)
Chris; Leave it with me and we will see what pans out over the next few months
So Novdoggie, firstly noone is putting offers directly to the cowboys.
All negotiations are done between clubs and player managers throughout the ENTIRE YEAR. None of this November 1 bullshit.
Obviously you are not business savvy, and when it comes to money, especially BIG money there are no rules!
You understand knucklehead?
Gotta love the uneducated lol
