Alright fine we are both wrong and have NFINot sure how you can that’s not accurate?
I’ve heard/read snippets of contract situation both what I posted & what you posted, unless you spoke to McInnes directly which I doubt you have we are both accurate or not accurate or both of us have NFI.
I'm interested to read the snipped you saw of him/Dragons saying Dragons only wanted to spend the 350-400k they could get McCullough for and it being a price issue. I haven't seen that, but I don't read every single thing.
Presumably that is a factor, they may have rushed to get the deal done if he was prepared to take 350-400k.
I was basing what I said off the quotes relating to the conflicting timeframes being the big issue, such as here: https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/02/02/sharks-set-to-lock-in-mcinnes-on-four-year-deal/
"We were well aware throughout our discussions with Cameron and his management that he wanted his future sorted prior to the season commencement," Dragons general manager of football Ben Haran said.
"There's always a process to contractual negotiations, but with our club going through a significant transition it's fair to say that Cameron and the club were working on different time frames.
"We understood why he wanted his future sorted immediately, which has since led to Cameron and his family securing an opportunity elsewhere."
