I hate this time of year! Every year we are linked to a stack of players and maybe one comes true. Maybe. Sorry but I’m going to say none of these happen- then if one does, I can be pleasantly surprised lol

We usually get a couple of offseason signings.

Api’s vaccine status worries me. Surely no club would sign him while he can’t play interstate.

Is he still unvaxxed?

We play 5 games interstate next year - I think it's OK.

And I hope by the time finals come (if we make it that far) vaccine mandates will be relaxed.

@frullens i think it is a big issue to sign a player that you need to plan missing games around.  I wouldn't sign him.

It’s playing with fire when you have a player that isn’t eligible for inter-state games. Imagine if we had a finals game in Brisbane or Melbourne and he couldn’t play.

Agree Declan, would it be a deal breaker for you?

He isstill better than what we have and we don't know what restrictions may look like in 2022 and 2023 interstate

I thought he couldn't get the vaccine due to medical issues not a choice like Asiata is anti Vax

So apparently we've added a year to the Api offer. That would be okay if it includes next season and he is vaxxed, but it would be a "no" from me if it is 3yrs starting 2023.

Too much can happen between now and then, and he is not getting any younger. I guess it may mean the vax thing may no longer be an issue, but that's not enough to get it over the line for me.

@helmesy yeah it would be a deal breaker for me and not worth the drama unless he was to get the shot. I think the deal makes a lot of sense even though he’ll be 30 in 2023 and 34 when the deal finishes. It’s also an interesting debate as to whether API’s game would age gracefully.
