I thought last night showed it's more important to be even over the field and have a decent game plan and execution.. good luck with that paying one player a million bucks

MOST important player in the side, he is the biggest and strongest piece of the spine. Him and Reid are our pillars, bookends if you like, they are the ones you build a side around.

If Travis stays it wont be for 1 million a year.

He wants $800,000 a season for 5 years to remain a pie, he'll go elsewhere for $1,000,000 a season for 5 if we don't agree to his terms.

At the end of the day Travis has just as much chance of getting injured within the next 4 years no matter the length of a contract so why worry what might occur for year number 5.

Sign him.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

Yeah I wanna be on page 200 too.

Dont care if he stays or goes, as long as we use his salary cap room wisely and also dont sacrifice ourselves in the future for salary cap pressure.

I'm a bit unsure about where Cloke will be, but I am happy he's looking back into some form.

Going to need him and Dawes firing next Saturday Night.

With free agency, it's difficult to be wise. There's always other clubs who are more desperate and willing to offer more. You are almost always better to keep the talent you have.

If we lose Cloke, the replacement options are slim. There's really only Tippett and maybe Goddard. We'd have to overpay both to get them. Especially Tippett who'll get offers from his home state from teams with more cap room. That's even assuming that either are on the move.
Well done boys!
