First of all, how do you expect to pay Hall, Nurse, Bear, etc when their contracts are up while being able to have a decent enough bottom 6? Hall's going to ask for at least 10m, that's 7m more than he'd be taking up in this year's cap. and you only have 2m in space with Bear and Nurse also on expiring deals.
Second of all, why the hell would Jersey retain 50% on Hall, who already has a steal of a contract at 6m, for such an underwhelming return? Two 28 year old bottom 6 forwards (one of which who has only stuck with with a team longer than one year twice in his career), a 20 year old possible top 6 RW, and a smattering of draft picks where only one pick is higher then the 4th round and only two are higher than the 6th?
Jersey declines pretty easily and quickly on this one. That and I'm sure you'd be outbid for Hall, not to mention there will be teams that would likely not ask to retain HALF of his contract. Discussion for this trade probably starts with Nurse.
