I value a good defence. Just that Barrass doesn’t move the needle that far for us.From the stuff you're writing sounds like you do not value a backline at all. Of course a good defence affects whether you contend or not WTF are you on about LMAO.
You are buying 2-3 years of contention by trading in Barrass. The people running your club know this.
They have the pieces there ready to go, your mids are starting to enter their prime.
Overpaying for Barrass would be trading 2 years worth of 1st and 2nd rounders. A 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder isn't overpaying. It's just good business.
You are 3+ years away from having your own developed KPD.
Your list is great up the ground at not conceding inside 50s, but once it reaches your backline your list kinda sucks. No brainer to chase an elite defender.
Our contending is about our work in the middle and winning contests up the ground. Do that and we contend with or without Barrass. Don’t and we don’t contend even with Barrass.
A first and a second is overs for Barrass. Even a first is too much for mine. It’s why eagles supporters on here are more than happy for him to go.
