yes, yes, and yes but then...no
tom phillips was only up for grabs if you were prepared to pay him his full salary which is up to $600k a year for the next two - the filth weren't prepared to take on any of that as they were already set to pay $300k a year to treloar for the next three years
we couldn't afford to bring phillips even from a salary cap perspective unless we could offload the likes of tom mcdonald...which now looks to be a far better option
mcdonald looks as fit as he has for years and will play that wing role once brown and weideman return
