What makes all this so clear? Are you aware of how much his offer from GWS was? If so, what was it?
He was reportedly offered the same as Shiel who accepted the contract. If he's complaining that he didn't get offered enough when he was offered the second most of the players re-signing this year (no way would any of Coniglio, Smith or WHE have contracts exceeding Treloar and Shiel) then the rest follows from that. For what it's worth I'm not against players maximizing their earnings. I just find it a bit funny that Blucher is going on about Treloar not being a "priority" while choosing to ignore any other reason GWS wouldn't increase their offer, e.g. disenchanting players who did accept less than they'd receive elsewhere to stay or not having the salary cap space. How many other clubs have to re-sign five players the calibre of Cameron, Treloar, Shiel, Coniglio and Smith in one year?
