C'mon.
I understand the heartache and frustration, but has there ever been a contracted player cut early and paid out (already pretty rare).who had also just been moved onto the leadership list?
It's just not gonna happen.
Didn't we effectively do it with Gibbs, just couldn't afford it, so he remained on the list, but didn't stay at the club? His leadership was also lauded, which made turfing him from the club a little interesting.
