If its end April, then he has been paid for 6 months, and will get another 6 months pay, but it wont blow up the soft cap spend because its all been budget for during the year ended 31st October 2025.
Could pay him 3 months straight away and the balance after 1st of November, so that they can increase Carr's pay from the equivalent of $200k per annum to $500k+ per annum and not overspend and get hit with soft cap tax.
How about we give Carr the promotion on a interim basis at the same pay scale and if he performs then give him a contract for 2026 and beyond
That way we are no worse off than if we kept the bludger
