Does anybody else get the feeling that we might actually be after Scully?  $$$$

He and his family are mad RFC supporters!

Maybe. Certainly wouldn't discount it but don't see the bargaining power myself.

yep i have that feeling

[Danog]

Scully won't be able to come to us via free agency.  The player needs to have been at their previous club for 8 years.  The 2004 draftees (Deledio's draft) will be the youngest ones that can be affected by this rule when it comes into effect (end of 2012).

YES.
I've been thinking this ever since he stalled.

He is a massive Tiger and the little hints by Hardwick "we could get a player like Judd".

I think Scully is doing a Kane Johnson.

Actually it's 6 years when they become a restricted free agent, which means if their club can't match our offer then the come to us
It's after 8 years that there is unrestricted free agency where a player can just go to its club of choice. The thing in the original clubs favour is that only 2 more years later they will become eligible to be a veteran, which is has salary cap benefits to pay them more.

So by the end of 2012 Lids will be a veteran having played eight seasons and we can have salary cap benefits.
Smart thinking is keep player till 5 years. Give them a three year contract and then let the salary cap benefits do their thing.

No its 10 years on a list to be a veteran, pretty sure they got rid of the age restriction

Why do they have to be Victorian and why do they have to play for an interstate club?  ???
