Common sense would have been assessing the recent rule changes that the League has implemented for this year by their own executive team. Let it settle.

Yep fake a long term injury something that will turm other clubs right off
He needs to go “missing”
Whoever finishes last next year* can just bid on Cody to safely wipe out our draft hand. They know we're obligated to pay up after commitments have been made between Cody and the club.
*providing it's not us finishing last lol

At the end of the day the new rules are gonna be tough but you still get first access to a once in a lifetime player. So it's a win for the blues
And if RFC finish last or 2nd last….
From the suggestions published so far that's not necessarily true.
It might be technical access, but not access in reality.

Teams don't normally bid at Pick 1 but yes would make it more difficult
No need for Cody to bust a nut next year knowing he’s committed to us and us to him already
Get him in to do as much of the pre season as suitable and have him around the club throughout next year

Or there’s the incentive to finish at the bottom of the ladder, which should be de-incentivised.
No, I mean involving all those picks (trade/swapping etc) to ensure we have a couple of 2026 picks that are high enough to match a pick 1 bid. We'll be right and Cody is certain to be in Navy but does suck at the draft capital we'll have to spend for the privilege.
It's a bit like paying for the Ferrari worth $1M.
Collingwood paid the equivalent of $100k for access to their Ferrari (Nick). Brisbane & the Dogs similar for theirs (Ashcroft & Darcy).
Unfortunately we'll have to pay $950k for ours...

We will pay and get him.
Because it’ll be matched and the prestige goes from their club & #1 pick being #1.
This will make it easier for clubs to bid on who they may want and can obtain through the draft.
Cody being in their NGA would make it easier.

Yeh fair enough. It's definitely not ideal considering what teams like the Pies and Lions got away with but it's certainly better than a lockout
If the example Twomey posted is accurate it could easily be completely out of our hands. You'd need a top 2-3 pick plus another decent first rounder to match if he's bid on at pick 1. All it would take would be the teams with the early picks to refuse to trade and we're shit out of luck.

We need to get a future first in this year for 2026 and we will be real close to matching any bid.
We aint playing finals next season with Voss still coach IMO.
That’s not happening in2026, things are staying as they are currently.
Twomey is talking about 2027 onwards.
So for Cody’s draft things are the same as now.
Neither should be entertained. Rules were changed.
Not sure that F/S’s should be made so hard to draft.
Every club has the same opportunity bar GCFC & GWS (who should have Academy access in lieu. BL & SS can have restrictions placed on their Academies and others NGA’s)
Personally, prefer a free-for-all and pre-list your picks from F/S & Academies.

Where have they stated that only 2x picks can be used ?

West Coast for Cripps ?
He'll be in Navy in 2026 Stamos.
To ensure we can match we'll have to involve our 2026 & 2027 first rounders plus potentially the TDK compo but he's ours.
You might want to reread the article
No, that's not true unfortunately. 2026 will be under the new system.
If you can only use 2 picks to match, that likely won't be enough.
Don’t be so certain. Ladder position may have a massive bearing.
