Everyone is talking about offering Tomkins $1m a season, someone un-tried in the NRL, and this guy isn't willing to fork out $700k a season for the reigning Dally M medalist, I'm so confused right now.

the rumoured 300k compensation (or transfer fee) doesn't get counted under our cap for next season ... correct?

The NRL confirmed compensation would not be part of the salary cap, so long as Barba didn't see any of it.[/quote]

if that is true, it would be a bonus for us, as there is no way that Barba would get any of the compensation.
I'm not a huge fan of Barba wanting a release for family reasons and getting a massive pay upgrade. The extra cash he wants shoukd be used to pay the compensation to the bulldogs.
I think it sets a dangerous precedent if players get released on "Compassionate" grounds after a breakthrough year and then get an upgrade. I'm not saying I think Barba or Milford's motives are ulterior, but it does leave a bit of a bad taste in the mouth IMO.

I know what you mean, but at this point lining up next year with the same backline, minus hodges, plus another year older prince leaves a much much worse taste in my mouth
