Think the best answer would’ve been “No comment”. Sets a little bit of an uninviting work place vibe to anyone considering us next year, even if he didn’t mean it to come across that way.
OR, the Club has said to him be honest and don't put us under a bus in the process. Mission accomplished!

hate them all
Do you remember 2 or so weeks ago, a article in the sun with rance happy for the leadership group to meet lynch and how happy he would be if he came to the club?

Then 2 weeks later fence sitting. Thats why i believe it was more instruction then rance being himself
This! Ideally the Club would much prefer nothing to be spoken in the media about it at all. Clearly as he was going on the show the Club knew the question was coming so had worked out the best way to deal with it.
Keep in mind they are also talking about a Player who is still contracted to a rival Club atm.

Not overly keen

If we do get him what would we need to give up?
Goes without saying he is worth 2 first rounders but would they want more or perhaps 2 and a couple of good players?
Lynch is a free agent so I imagine we just have to make a bigger offer than Gold Coast and they will get compensation picks.

We could not get near an offer from Gold Coast. If they were to match then he can nominate in the draft and we most likely would miss out. But Gold Coast would not want him to go to the draft and get no compo. If he steadfastly says I want to go to Richmond then we'll get him. Gold Coast would not try and redraft him. It would cost them too much.

Whilst I'm not convinced we actually need this guy, or that he's a million dollar player, our spine would look something like this for the next few years:

Rance
Astbury
Martin
Riewoldt
Lynch

It's almost like cheating.
especially when you forget Cotchin.

I’m beginning to think this bs report was a deliberate act to destabilise the RFC by sending a shockwave thru the playing group . Lord knows theyve tried everything else , -10 free kick deficit per game , overturned goals from bodgy video ref calls . Convince me otherwise

Cant some add up, most of lynch money would be from our dead player payments, Hampson 400-450,
Ben g, 150,yarren 350,deledio150,thats 1. 1 million already been paid that we don't have to pay in 2019,also caps going up again, plus loyde, myles, are on one year deals.
Yeah but I guess most on here assume that the Dusty saga from last year that ended in quite a sizable contract would be eating into a lot of that. Remember that the same names were brought up as evidence that we could afford to keep Dusty.

Yes it frees up dollars but 1 player cant fill 5 players list spots. Still gotta replace and pay for them. Then take into account our pwn players that deserve a pay rise.
