So what is the harm in trying? If we don't then the FFA can use the defence that we don't get funded because we don't apply, so can't complain. Neverbloom and wswtragic 2 Link to comment

They were players signed under instruction from Gombau. Those contracts were pre-signed (which is common) during that season for this season ahead. Link to comment

pseudonym Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Dumb question: how likely is it that all of those players would be released by the club in one go? I'm guessing some contracts would have to be paid out? Link to comment

matty Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Good list Taurus. Only changes I'd make are Risdon: Release asap. He's taking up too much cap and is terrible for us. Kamau: Maybe /squaddie StringerBellend 1 Link to comment

I think Majok has more upside than Kamau, but wouldn't be surprised if we honoured the other year of his contract. Risdon isn't on big dollars, although I agree he's been poor for us. He came here to work with Popa & get noticed. He apparently signed for us on less than he was being paid at Perth Burztur, Erdz and StringerBellend 3 Link to comment
