Quote ="Terry Monster"1. I bet he is costing us around the same in salary as Deacs.
2. We don't need three out and out half backs, we need somebody who can cover that position in an emergency, hence the cheap option and not three high profile big money players. Cover doesn't need to be established players, Rinaldi would be fine for cover, like he is now.
3. We dont have a clue who will be taking who's wage. But I'd reckon on that Glenn Hall was a replacement for Solomona, probably not as expensive though, but I can't see much savings on salary there. As for Tupou's wage, do you really think he will have been on a lot? I don't.
If we release BJ, and sign Wing and Rinaldi, then of course we are better than we are this season.
We went into this season with, Jeffries and Deacs as 6 & 7, with no cover there, if we brought Wing and Rinaldi in for next season then we would have Wing and Deacs, with Rinaldi as cover for there positions, and he can also cover 9 aswell in case of injury to Newton or Godwin.'"
But Jeffries has been playing very well this year for us, whilst Deacon has been a passenger for the most part. I see your point in that Wing is a better stand off than BJ but I think BJ could do us a job at 7 also. I do not think it is unrealistic to have Deacon, BJ and Wing in one side.
Also I bet Tupou was on a fair salary, I doubt he'd have upped sticks and come to SL for peanuts.
