Scouting for an import centre
Be interesting to see how they go about filling their two local spots.
I'd prefer Nate over Majok
I think Jawai's asking price might be too high.
I still think he will stay at Cairns but I don't understand the delay in resigning him.

Jawai's earnings at Cairns come from government support for his work with the community, currently the government are assessing whether they fork out money or not.
I'd like to see him at Perth for sure.

Going to laugh when Cairns get hit with the Salary Cap Tax for Jawai's extra earnings.

Granted Nate may be a bit exy, and its a bit greedy to want a player of his Calibre as the backup, but we're running out of options.
Majok, frankly, has been ordinary for most of his career. I would have loved to see what Nielsen could have done with him, but that's not an option.
I guess they are waiting to see who the import is. Whether he's a 25 or 35 minute guy, a straight 5, or a 4/5, etc.
Plus where they want to spend any extra money? They've possibly still got room for a 6th man (outside the bench cap) so do they use that for a backup centre (like Nate) or go cheap there and use it for a 3/4.

Dazz third party deals have always been outside the cap even pre-LK.
I'd prefer majok and spend the money on a good Import

"third party deals have always been outside the cap even pre-LK."
Except that the tax is based on assessed value, rather than what the actual contract is for.
PS: you can ignore the idiot trolls.

I've heard Willie Reed a few times from a few different people. Probably bull**** as I thought he's under contract but just thought I'd put it out there.
