I think it's because he's still on a pittance this contract.
They desperately need to upgrade that contract if a clause like that exists... but maybe they can't due to deals like Fifita's, etc.

Where would he play "comfortable" footy?

Wayne will fix him

Aldo This is the one I was mainly thinking. He'd get to stay in Qld and while there will be denials, Wayne will be desperate to get a Milford and a Fifita to claim they are an attractive club, have pulling power and can 'fix' players still. I wouldn't be surprised if James Roberts ends up there as a result too and TPJ, though the issue for him is he would have to take a hair cut with his salary.

How long is TPJ contracted at the Bulldogs? We wouldn't be the first player they release and have to hold a high amount on their cap for them to play elsewhere.
But you're right, I didn't think of Roberts, I am still a "fan" of sorts in that I wish him to be the best he can be, because he is a great talent, but it's at the point where, if he hasn't cleaned his life up yet, he probably won't, but will be very tempting for Bennett seeing as he'll certainly be cheap.
TPJ, Roberts, Fifita, Milford. Who else can we add to the list of potential Bennett Redemption stories? These are almost Titans signings, Hurrell fits in really well. What's Jamal Idris up to these days?

so Cameron George, your claim that the Warriors don't sign players who don't want to go to NZ, seems to be aging well

Looks Shannon Boyd dodgy. Who walks away from a lucrative contract without a similarly lucrative contract lined up???

I'm thinking maybe he waits another couple of months and then joins either the Panthers, Storm or Roosters for a lazy 200K and a shot at a premiership a la TPJ.

Or a Maloney to Roosters scenario where they somehow find a loophole to pay him in advance while he is still playing for another team and it therefore doesn't impact the cap. Hello Dolphins?

Definitely rate Aitken, excellent pickup probably good value too. Only 26 so he can be a long term player for them.

Apparently we've knocked him back about a return to Red Hill? Only saw a snippet of something on the news this morning about it, didn't catch the full story.
