The whole Ryan James situation is a great example of how wealthy clubs get to double dip. James out for the season, third ACL, probably won't get a contract or play again (unfortunately). If the club had his $700k sitting around like the Rabbitohs, he could be medically retired and paid a fee over the next couple of years to cover and equal his loss of this years wage and we get another $700k in the kitty for this year to go shopping with or forward pay others.
