Port is in SA as well and doesnt have the player retention issues we have.
These things work in ebbs and flows, but for the majority of the last 10 years, their players haven't been in high demand. Nick Stephens and Shaun Burgoyne are players I'm sure they would have liked to stay.
I think if Trengove was offered an $800k contract in his 3rd year like Davis was he probably would have taken it. I think if any of their players were offered $900k like tippet was, they would have taken it.
