[WA Tiger]

What a complete cock up is this FA rubbish!!!!

[Stripes]

What benefit does the Lions get for signing after Friday rather than before other than to screw us over?

None as far as I know, expect for the ability to not sign him until the last minute in November, keeping their options open.  Luke will look a bit silly if they pick someone else up in the interim and renege on their deal (if there is one on the table) because then he will have to nominate for the draft.

Cheating pig-dog scum fat pricks

Matty White is still only 26. If he's that "old" then why did Port give him a 3-year contract! 

[Judge Roughneck]

Younger than farkering Sylvia

what an absolute stuffen joke, Im bloody ropable over this I was expecting a r2 , at worst r3...talk about an injustice

[Smokey]

You can't realistically be any younger than 26 to be a restricted free agent because you can't get drafted until you are almost 18.  It must work against you being younger but I would have thought it should work for you - the younger the player you lose, the more valuable he was because of potential years of service left.  He must have gone to Port for peanuts is all I can think because that doesn't fit with other compo picks in the past.

o compensation for loss of M White,due to offer / player age.

Cause he was not offered 9 years only 3?   

[one-eyed]

Smokey, Port offered White 3-years on $300k p.a.

[big tone]

Get a grip- Matt White couldn't even get a regular game in our starting 18 this year. And we still have some very average players doing so.
Age has nothing to do with it, he simply isn't much chop.

Smoke, you have been on fire in this thread! 
I wish you were doing the compo  for us for the White loss, we would have Boyd for sure.
