Correct.That would be outside of the cap, they cannot match our FA offer.
They can convince him to stay, by getting close to our money through other means, but if decides to come to us, he's ours.
GWS and the AFL corruption money can combine for an offer to beat ours.
But mechanically, Cogs would need to reject our offer for GWS and AFL to get this to work.
GWS cannot match our offer by saying "AFL ambassador money". So if we actually get Cogs to sign the agreed RFA contract, GWS cannot match. They need to get in his ear so that he DOESN'T sign with us in the first place.
