How do you think we are in terms of the Salary Cap?

2026:
*We are still paying a little bit for Bateman
*Jayden Sullivan- We might be chipping in for 2026 or pay overs for him for 26/27
* Had quite a few leave in 2025, Miller, Olam, Klemmer, Galvin, De silvia,
*We are cutting a lot of dead wood at the end of 2025. Lots of underperformers that don't deserve a top 30 contract, Brandom Tumeth, Justin Matamua, Josh Feledy and maybe a few others.

Overall salary cap rating in my opinion given we are still paying overs for 2 players 8/10.

2027:
*Still paying overs for Sulvian
*Alot of players contracts will be up which will give the club flexibility to resign performing players and new players.
*Will be interesting to see if Luai will take up player option

Overall, I rate the salary cap 9/10 for 2027

I reckon we have a good shot at making the finals if we recruit well, 2026 or 2027.
 
Here is a table of approx salaries of our currently contracted players for 2026 (including Bud). All based on internet research and putting an approx $150K (just above minimum) on our bottom tier players.

PS the year listed is the final year of the contract.

If anyone can help with Seyfarth, Pole, Sione & To'a ...
