Collingwood’s decision to offer Daniel McStay an incredibly lucrative deal to join the club via free agency has already paid dividends elsewhere.McStay joined Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent from the Brisbane Lions on Tuesday, signing a five-year deal believed to be worth around $600,000 per season. It resulted in the Lions receiving pick No.35 as compensation and gives the Pies a 27-year-old, key position player who could help bolster the side’s key posts.

The 22-year-old could prove a handy addition to the side’s forward mix, while former St Kilda and North Melbourne star Nick Dal Santo said McStay’s acquisition was a sound one.“I think that’s a really good move. The salary of $600,000 isn’t what it used to be,” He said.“We’ve got quickly accept that $600,000 is about average (for a player like McStay) if you’re going to change clubs. “I think that’s about right for not the best player in the comp, not the worst, you’ve got to pay the number.”McStay played 161 matches for Brisbane, kicking 138 goals. .
Bledisloe Cup Q&A: Can the Cane-free All Blacks deliver against the Wallabies at Eden Park?
Referee Matthieu Raynal signals a penalty as Australia’s Bernard Foley looks on during the first Bledisloe Cup match between the Wallabies and the All Blacks in Melbourne. Photo / Scott Barbour, PhotosportLet’s start with the good news: Bledisloe II comes with a home crowd, and the weird hoodoo for Australia that is Eden Park (for more on that, see Cameron McMillan’s excellent guide here).In short, the Wallabies haven’t beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park since 1986 – a stretch of 22 tests.Now for the bad news: All Blacks skipper Sam Cane is out, as are Scott Barrett, David Havili and Quinn Tupaea.Sam Whitelock will lead a side which has welcomed No. 8 Ardie Savea back from parental leave. He’ll take his place in a loose forward trio featuring Dalton Papali’i at openside flanker and Akira Ioane on the blindside.Jordie Barrett will play second-five eighths, while brother Beauden will stay at fullback.The front row sees experienced hooker Codie Taylor selected in the run-on side, while Samisoni Taukei’aho will provide cover alongside props Ofa Tu’ungafasi and Nepo Laulala.So that’s that. Given last week’s miracle last-minute victory, All Blacks coach Ian Foster probably won’t be sleeping soundly on Friday night.Liam Napier was at Bledisloe I, and he has thoughts. We asked him to swing by this morning to share those thoughts and answer any questions you have ahead of Saturday’s kick-off.• Thanks for your questions – we’ve closed the Q&A so Liam can get back to reporting.All Blacks match-day 23 (Test caps in brackets):Related articles1.

India is likely to offer lower import tariffs on premium Australian wine as part of the interim trade deal that officials hope to finalise by month-end, people aware of the matter said.
