Power have the collateral in spades...it's convincing one of their better young players to go to North that's where it's at.Mutineer you can keep laughing here but this poster is correct. Power dont yet have the collateral to pull off one - let alone all 3 - of their desired trades. And ultimately JHF wants to return back to SA - he may favour Port but he didnt support them growing up and if we offer MORE money and a better prospect of getting a deal done then its not out of the question (but agree unlikely) he can change his mind here.
Firstly I acknowledge its unlikely to happen. Blind Freddy can see that but why wouldnt we want to cause Power inflationary salary cap issues (JR has advised me we have deliberately done this previously on a returning player we knew would get to Port) and/or cause Kangas to have higher benchmarked expectations re his value. If we are offering 2 picks around 5-6 (assuming bottom 6 finish again next year which is likely) why wouldnt Kamgas use that as leverage to get Power to up their offer?
Its unlikely we end up with JHF but ultimately he wants to return home and if we are 'such a boring club' why in the hell dont we get in there and shake things up for all concerned? Would appreciate a response rather than a WOW or LAUGHING emoji
They've talked JHF into naming them as his destination (not that was ever in doubt) whilst under contract so now they need to pony up, it's really that simple or they've failed the lad badly.
