No big argument but rather just a tweak.

I don't think finding a Greer is as easy as you make it sound. 15-25 a year? That averages out to nearly one per team per year and yet we've found how many in recent memory versus the misses? Rooney (Tre pointlessly signing him notwithstanding) and someone like Zohorna immediately come to mind as two examples.

I'm just saying those misses cost time and money, and in exchange for playing that game again it would be worth a sensible bump to Greer's salary to keep the known quantity.
