He has family playing at the Wahs?
You know what would make them easy to visit a lot…

If they moved to Cronulla?
I think it’ll be hard to
AFB opens up money and need for a prop in NZ you’d think they’d be able to make him a great offer we can’t compete with. Caleb moving out and Braden visiting NZ over Xmas would also support he’d be likely to accept.
If we can hold him and Williams and just lose like Kaufusi or something our forward becomes stacked.
AFB, BHU, Rudolf, Hunt, Hazleton, Williams, Colquhoun (THT, Bradbury)
we have a whole year to decide whos worth holding onto but with BHU given the captaincy in the trials and senior leadership roles, i doubt fitz is pushing him out the door
i dont neccessarily think we have to lose anyone with AFB coming, we were lacking one more grunt in the first place. maybe Hunt if anyone

BHU, Williams, Colquhoun and potentially Kaufusi can negotiate now so we don’t have a whole year unless they decide to wait 12 months before deciding anything.
Even though Finucane is scaling down it’s possible we may need to free up more money than someone like Hunt is on to fit AFB. Maybe not though
yea for sure, if they wanna jump ship without approaching us for an offer then so be it, but what fitz is building is something players want to be apart of, and like mulitalo will take less to stay here.
i cant see a player leaving without the club having a final take it or leave it offer

I have no doubt they will give us a chance to respond to an offer (be mad not to), but that doesn't buy us a year, buys us maybe like a month or two from that point. Maybe much less.
NZ will be motivated to try and lock in one or two NRL starting calibre props fairly early once season starts I'd think.
With a million or more to spend on it.
If they offer BHU an extra 100k or more than we can be nice if he stays but makes sense for him to take it.
With Tracey not on 25 books anymore (and any savings we can dig up for 25 by Moylan leaving now) you'd think the extra from Finucane retiring probably pretty much would allow us to hold the rest of the middles.
AFB, Rudolf, BHU, Hazelton, Hunt, Kaufusi, Colquhoun (THT, Bradbury)
McInnes and Williams at 13

I hope we do but I think he’ll be the fall guy for AFB. Hard to see how we could afford to keep him.

Why would we let him go if he stays fit and smashes it this season , they are all in the same boat . I'm sure they all want to be part of the forwards when AFB gets here , it will just be great for competition amongst the forwards .
Answers been pretty well established, hasn’t it?
He’s off contract at the end of this year.

I'm sure if he is playing great we will resign him , unless he wants to go .

Not if we can’t fit him in under the cap, if he’s playing well his price goes up and it already is significant. Might just be a case of not being able to fit him in.
