Depends on the fitness of our pack and if our backs who have struggled the last few years can fire with the extra time and space they'll be given. But if everyone stays fit, why not.

I think we will finish 7th to 10th around that mark but certainly in the hunt for the 8 in last round.

Manu definitely I believe his contract was 500k if not last year then 2021. He was upgraded at some point... Joey Manu could easily get a 1Mil contract at fullback.
Sua'ali'i with 1 year contracts each negotiated for a higher price I don't think is settling for less money. I believe Sua'ali'i was already past 1 million dollar deal at Souths and signed for more with Easts... . Look Easts make discussing the salary cap funny for some reason. š
I notice that Easts, Manly and Knights use the "pay a few very good players well" idea. Knights paid 1m to get Klemmer then did it again to get Frizzel, it had a mixed success. Easts going hard for Cronk and SBW worked well for them. Yet it seems coaching flexibility, like allowing SBW to do boxing got them over the line.
I was just having a read on the Eels forum, and they are extremely confident that Moses has re-signed with them. I wonder if any of our insiders know and can confirm this.
It will be interesting to see how Brooks / AD / Daine work out this year and if any of them are extended prior to the season..

Except Easts have more than a few good players who are payed well, mostly outside of the cap. You have Tedesco, Manu, Suuali, Crighton, Keary, JWH, Brandon Smith, Collins, Tupou, Radley, Walker all on good money, then the Butcher brothers, Paulo, Watson, Turpin, Lodge to fit in as well, plus about 12 more players to fill the top 30

I'd say Moses signed with them so we pulled out from Nathan Brown.
I don't care who your favourite is, perform or go,,,,,, The game is about getting the best roster.
We will not succeed with ordinary, aim high or fail.

Q .. has there ever been an Assistant Coach / player / Captain .. ??
Don't have a fav mate and totally agree... We want the best players who WILL get results.. Simple stuff
I home our remaining money goes to buy a new back preferably a top centre, halfback and maybe fullback.
We will improve but our spine and backline is ordinary apart from API.
10-11 would be ok to be honest.

If MM has resigned then weāre in with a big chance of signing him as the Dogs have pulled out of the race for him.
Unless another club has suddenly decided to chase MM.
