The Realistic Cleanout

[Cochrane]

I think it is money and its because it was not a 1st grade centre or wing salary that was being offered.

Again, no player gets to ask for a guaranteed position in the team, particularly players not regularly in 1st grade.

My guess he was offered back up backline salary, and he has decided to try for a 1st grade salary elsewhere.

Fair enough , we’ll agree to disagree

If the club said mate it's time to go to superleague he would do it. He won't hold the club back.
That's then $2 million off the books between him and DCE.

Only if a Superleague club pays him $1mil

I can't have Jake starting.
Not, on performance he's not upto it.

Jake is the glue that binds the forward defence (such as it was) together. If any Trjbo should go, it's surely got to be Biff (Ben).

Jake ain't it. Not anymore.
Heart still loves him but he's below average now, we won't move forward with him at 13 and he makes zero meters, post contact or off loads so can't be a prop

It’s really sad, but unfortunately true 🙁

But surely he can’t be lock either , maybe a couple of 20 minute stints as prop ??

Gotta get some value out of $950k

Agree but I can't see it
Shame.

Navale to lock , Jake to Prop, 2 x short stints , the only way forward in my opinion

9 out of a squad of 30 is not exactly a mini clean out....

You are effectively saying a third , that’s a MAJOR change
