100%. I want to get it done for us but also for rep. I got clipped a bit for suggesting 47 wasnt enough and that swapping our second for the dogs would be fair.
As it stands weve sort of done nearly that (getting 45 as well) and now well offer 32, which no one could argue isnt fair.
If they say no, then theyll get a reputation (if they dont already)
I reckon the onus is more on the Bulldogs who have mistreated one of their stars, to grant him dignity by not offering much resistance for his exit. Their false claims that they would welcome him back are rubbish .. they are happy to see him move on. $800k ain't loose change either.
The same as the Swans holding onto Luke Parker.
These guys are over 30 yrs old and have been fantastic servants of their clubs so I reckon it's the Dogs and Swans who should grant these players the honour of an easy trade out and not try and over haggle with us.
