Also people forgot that Storm won't release him, so we'd be getting Munster in 2024.
Brooks contract ends in 2023.
That money could go into Munster's contract when he comes (reported 1.1Mill for Brooks)
What could also happen is that we lose Doueihi to Storm when contract time comes, however, if the team is playing good, I doubt he would leave.
Anyway, it's all a pipe dream at the moment.. but I don't see Munster coming.
Also alot of people are focused on Munster playing in the halves.
If he is playing fullback the cash isn't the halves $$$ to play with as we still will need halves.
Right now based on "reports" in 23 Brooks is $1.1M, AD $650k, Hastings $400k.
For 24 not one of those halves are signed so we have $$$ to throw at a player.
Laurie isn't on the Brooks/AD salary but is probably due to be upgraded.
Realistically if we recruit outside for halves we are looking to spend $2M for quality.
If we recruit for a quality fullback it would be 800k+
$1.4M for Munster is a huge punt, it will limit our ability to get someone else pending if the cap stays as is (which projections are it will increase) + he also gets the 10yr benefit in 2yrs time. It's a no brainer though for us to be in the hunt.
