I think shocked … as Kobe isn’t a starter in the broncos pack, but with the Tigers, he could very well be. If media dribble is correct, his manager wants/believes his client is a starter.

In all honesty can Jack play the #13 roll & we look
at another second rower? Been thinking about this.
I would have Hetherington at 13, rotating with Sione & Latu for a point of difference. Push Bird to an edge with Seyfarth as cover. Hunt & Pole Impact. May to start with Klemmer or Twal.

I think Walters got it horribly wrong not playing Kobe and imo a contributing factor in why Broncs had a terrible season.

Sorry, no. There used to be some very informative posters with salary cap bits of info. Not sure if we have a salary cap thread but keeping the ever shifting landscape of salary cap decisions and amounts would be great.

this article regarding Sullivan indicates that the club has every intention of signing both Hetherington and May but are in need of clearing out both roster spots and cap space to get it done.
the fact that we’re keen to pay half of both Bateman and Sullivan’s salaries says it all.
Penrith paid considerable dollars to get rid of the likes of RCG, Whare and DWZ to create room for the kids and put the broom thru culturally.
looks as if we’re about to do the same.

It does go against our cap but will be dependent on how it's agreed as to when it's spread over - can be any combination of 1,2 or 3
You'd think $300k per year over 3. He signed for $500k per season.
Bud at $200k for halves/utility coverage isn't a terrible deal.
Crap , just sent him back to the lowest grade and keep him on the bench untill he agrees to leave , after two years without football he will never play again

Well.. they both have an NRL contract right ? Why would they relinquish that? Just to be good guys ?
Pay them out

Sure ..that’s an option …. although I would at least be keeping Luke at this stage and moving on someone else….

Tumeth would be an easy payout

If the club can move Sullivan & Bateman on, with the cap space available, I'd be trying to pay out as much this season as they can.
For example- we are under the cap now by (let's just say) $800k
Sullivan is on $500k per year
Bateman on $650k per year.
Club A takes Sullivan and we chip in $300k, they pay $200k
Club B takes Bateman & we chip in $350k, they pay $300k
Tigers 'save' $500k to add to the $800k, giving $1.3m to spend for next season.
OR...
Despite moving them on, Tigers pay Bateman $650k as promised in 2025 & Sullivan $500k as promised- so that in 2026 we owe both players $200k less & $300k less while not changing our cap for 2025 at all- either up or down. But 2026/2027 cap hits are reduced by the price of a pretty decent 1st grade player on $500k.
Short term pain for longer term gain. That extra $500k could fall quite nicely into Galvin's pocket next year to then keep him.

if it weren’t for the fact that they’re close with Galvin and Da Silva then I would’ve preferred to see the back of Kit as opposed to Fa’agutu.
not Luke tho. he’s a freak. if we don’t sign a winger between now and March I think he’ll line up on the left sting in Round 1.
