Strachan is contracted until end of 2025, I don't see us paying him out
They have T.Murray taking one rookie spot likely for Parnell, which would leave the Hamill spot open if he likely leaves and Keane’s spot maybe as well, they then could theoretically put Smith and Strachan both on that rookie list and their salary won’t be affected at all so yeah no payout required if they wanted to free up those 2 main list spots.Just on this - Hamill was contracted until 24 when we delisted and re-rookied him last year. Same with McPherson the year before, was contracted until 23
I’m not sure the pay-out applies in this scenario
