This is it. We will be keeping $$$ up our sleeve for Taylan May if he shows what we believe he can. I'd imagine he will go on a $400-$450k contract for next season if that's the case.

So then with our remaining cap we won't be able to afford a Josh Papali'i or anyone else over $500k unless 1 of 3 things happen -

1 we get Royce off our cap somehow,
2 Souths agree to pay at least 50% of Bud's contract or,
3 we can frontload a few hundred K this season.

Realistically we be looking at a 2 x $400-$500k players (1 being Taylan) and then a host on close to minimum deals.

My reasoning is in the Salary Cap thread.

Firstly… thanks for your work in the salary cap thread … I think most of the numbers seem pretty close…

One thing no one knows is how much Richo might have managed to front load a few players this year as has been rumoured… hopefully this is the case and there is a bit more space available then we think …

We had the funds to throw a million plus at Galvin … so that leads me to believe there may be some more room than we think …

If he has then we certainly have not utilised it. So far since the start of the year we have let go Bateman, Klemmer, TDS, Galvin, and ikely Doueihi, Naden, Staines (next year), as well as the 3-4 squad fillers. Meanwhile we have picked up T.May (probably x2) and KPP.

Cheers TS.

That's right, hopefully a bit has been frontloaded this season. We can estimate our salary cap position based on approx salaries for each player but the front-loading & how much we are paying players at other clubs (Bateman, Klemmer etc) as I think that still comes out of our cap???

Yes.., good point .. Bateman will still be costing them something next year .. Klemmer should be off the books end of 2025…

Waiting to see what happens with Jordan Miller as well

Does the development include ball/matthews players?

Our best SG Ball players from this season (who are not already in Flegg or at the schools carnival) played in a development game versus the Raiders on Saturday prior to Flegg. And then our combined U18s played the Sharks on Wednesday. Both games are on Bar TV however there are no team lists and our wonderful club hasn't told members or fans about these games.

Was at pcyc at Minto they built a world class boxing gym there and all I saw where giant teenagers everywhere, I seriously struggle to accept that we are doing enough in the scouting of young players in that area. It was seriously land of the giants
