True true, but the reality of this trade is that North need itvto happen way more than we do.
I suspect we'd be quite happy taking our current hand into this draft.
North on the other hand would be paying overs using pick 2 on Tauru. If we don't do the deal, and Norf still take Tauru at 2, that means that the top end mids all fall one more spot in the draft, with us waiting with pick 6, and we stil hold all the lower first round picks.
If i was the Tige's i'd be holding our hand right up to selecting our first player on Nov 20, with Norf then given the mandatory 5 mins to decide on whether they want 2 top end players out of this draft or not. If they use their selection, well who cares. We still hold a damned good hand with all selections in hand.
Really imo Norf have backed themselves into a corner by trading out their 2nd rounder which could have secured them a decent tall prospect
