1\. Centre is probably our weakest position. Imagine a long term centre pairing of Simona and Walker. Would be in the top 4 defensive and attacking centre pairs in the comp easy.
2\. There is no way our cap could still be terrible. We have let go Richards, Moltzen, Taupau, Galloway, Lodge, Lulia, Blair, plus others. You would be talking at a conservative guess $1.5 million worth of cap has been released.
3\. We have replaced the released players with fringe first grade players and U20s players. None of these players would be on more then minimum first grade contracts if not second teir/NSW cup contracts so it would not effect the top 25 salary cap. The only exception would be Ballin but by all report's Manly are paying the vast majority of his contract and we are paying nothing really.
4\. Souths have today confirmed walker is free to negotiate. They would pay half his contract. It is reported he is on $500k. We could potentially get an Australian centre for $250k and fix a position we have struggled in for so long.
I just wish the club would get serious and sign some proven player's. Yes there is nothing wrong with signing potential but potential is just that. Unproven!

I don't understand Manly's salary cap, they couldn't afford to resign DCE so let him go, then all of a sudden they could re-sign and had money left over for Nate Myles, Martin taupe, Lewis Brown, Api Koroisau and Dylan Walker.
I know they had Foran go but it definitely doesn't add up given DCE's backflip.
