If Cronulla and Easts still have cap room to offer Crichton and Hayne respectively, we must have about three million left in our cap.

 

[HabboTiger]

Crichton would be for 2019, they would need to release some more players then one would imagine.

 

[Tigerdon]

Lodge is probably a 2nd tier contract. Let’s see how these teams go,money doesn’t necessarily equal results.

However does strengthen the odds

He is reportedly in their top 30\. My point is how many chances do these clowns get - obviously a lot more if one of the NRL darlings want them.

Yea, Lodge…. I can only stand the thought of him playing and earning a wage as that will be sequestered to his victims back in America.

I was listening to Roy & HG on the weekend. They were saying how the NewYork team should try and sign Lodge because of his “what r u looking at!!” Attitude .
I’m not sure if he’s actually allowed back in NYC.

Easts will come back to the pack the day Politis kicks the bucket. Without him they're nothing.

I'm not sure about that. He might be the grand poobah but, if all the chat is correct, there seem to be plenty of other willing contributors.

If Cronulla and Easts still have cap room to offer Crichton and Hayne respectively, we must have about three million left in our cap.

That's what I was thinking too. Reportedly our highest paid player is Reynolds ($750k) followed by Packer ($650k) and yet by all accounts we only have $800k or so left to play with.

I'd be interested to see a breakdown of Cronulla's cap too, especially if they get Pearce..

They certainly do, but he's the glue. Without him there I'm not sure the others would be so willing.

Yeah. That's what I meant by grand poobah. You may be correct that the others won't be interested enough to put on the silly hat.

Reynolds reportedly 3,2mil over four years and Matulino reportedly on 700k a year, although I have seen others quote other figures on Matulino.

While we have brought highly for people like Tui (reported at 600K?) I also don't get how the Roosters can be talking Cronk, which should break their cap and be mentioned with Hayne and others. I have heard that their stars get the big dollars and they tell the rest they have to earn it…. But I still don't get it...

Cronulla I am thinking are backending their contracts. But they have made impressive signings like Dugan (1m?) and are keeping Holmes. I don't get how this is happening.

 

[hammertime]

There's a good chunk that they apparently front loaded from the year before last year and they've funnelled it through this one. The same thing we should be doing if we don't get any good players coming onto the market.

 

[Needaname]

I wouldnt think we have much left, the position we have been in past few years. We would of paid overs to an extent for most of our players.
We also only have 1 player in the entire squad that hasn't played first grade.
Comparing total squads, 1 - 30, I'd be surprised if we didn't have one of the most experienced squads.
And that comes at a cost.

 

[TYGA]

It’s all nonsense about cap management. Some clubs are operating with TPA’s at 30% of the Cap. The NRL won’t release it as it is a mockery of the cap. WT can’t compete with top tier players you will see it continue with the same teams dominating for the next decade.
Cleary is smart a solid all round team with no stars is the only way for us.

If you are saying Tui is getting 600k per year - you are kidding yourself.

At best, that would be for 2 years.

 

[hammertime]

The club has publically said that they still have a fair bit of cap space but are 'keeping their powder dry'.

They're playing it exactly right. We have a team that can compete now. We should only spend it if a long term signing comes on the market at a good price, otherwise forward pay, free up even more space next year and make a play when they do. Nathan Cleary anyone?

100% Russ. There's no way we paid 600K for a bloke playing on the wing in reserve grade.

I am certain it’s 375k p.a for Tui. Someone with club insider jfk could confirm.

I think the official term used is “cap management”…..in reality it’s called cheating....they dare to dream....while we dream to dare

It’s called TPAs they are legal but should be counted under the cap with the new increases. They won’t be as they are skewed to the power brokers who keep the NZL CEO in the job. The NRL are effectively match fixers pretending there is an even comp.

Yep and while Greenberg may present as the CEO the real power brokers behind the NRL are the Eddie Hayson types…. where nothing ever sticks to them... anything to do with betting should be taken with a grain of salt

Point taken on Tui above. For some reason I had 600k in my head… Surely not.

Also It's our game! How dare people take it from us.
