Reserve Grader
I really don't get the, "we can keep one, but not both" line of thinking.
What we have is the best modern day halves pairing that will soon captain their countries against each other. It's just madness when I read on this site, that some of you are playing favourites, arguing why we should keep one over the other. Pretty simple, by my way of thinking, that we just need to plan life long careers for both of them at Manly.
Offer both of them co-captaincy starting in 2015.
Pay them $500K a year, for 5 years out of the cap. Max Delmege or another benefactor can pay them an additional $500K a year which gives both players the million dollar annual deals they deserve. That also gives them and the team plenty of salary cap space to have the ability to keep buying and retaining good talent.
Sign both of them now to 5 year deals when they both retire as assistant coaches.
One of them can go on to become our first grade coach, the other can be employed, trained and groomed to be a future CEO.
