I know its not even 2018 yet, but its only 3 weeks till we can "officially" start negotiating with players for 2019\. This creates a few questions.
What players, if any, should we target?
Which off contract players should be offered new deals?
How much will we have to spend?
Should we expect any signings before round 1?
Starts tomorrow.
Off the off contracted players….
The Roosters were looking to offer Angus Crichton a big deal. Now they have signed Cronk for $2 million dollars, I'm not sure how much they can throw at him. He is after a big contract and i'm not sure the Bunnies will do a massive upgrade for him.
Boyd Cordner is listed as being on $750k, i'm sure we can put some real pain into the Roosters if it's public known we have offered him the same deal the Bulldogs offered Woods.
Other off-contract players - Luke Keary hasn't signed yet. Pearce may up and leave.
Joel Thompson would be a good get.
Don't think the Panthers are in a position to offer Dylan Edwards a huge deal
The Cowboys will try and sign Michael Morgan on a long term deal to take over JT's jersey, the wouldn't be able to throw much at Ethan Lowe.
Then there are all these low paid Roosters; Ryan Matterson $200,000, Daniel Tupou $220,000, Mitchell Aubusson $280,000, Isaac Liu $200,000, Zane Tetevano $120,000, Sio Siua Taukeiaho $150,000.
