Re DCE and Ben Hunt...

DCE IMHO is a legend and a halfback that is better then Nathan Cleary IMHO.
Queensland has the whole Thurston + Storm players to pick from.

I won't deride Hunt, he was at Brisbane twice when it made the Grand finals and has been a part of successful Origin campaigns. But Hunt was never seen as the Conductor of the side.

Hunt never lifted the Dragons to a grand final. DCE did that for Manly and that makes him a NRL Legend (ok he is also totally up himself, but meh).

Both DCE and Hunt are just too damn old. Heck Munster is talking retirement.

I wish I lived on your planet.

Sounds like a nice place.

most other clubs seem to do whatever they want ….even St George chase every player that comes on the market ..

How will Averillo feel? Do you think about him? In your spare time? Or just the Howarth boys?

Bet he’d be devastated that his odds of a nrl premiership are better

Had a crack at our salary cap position for 2027 in the Roster thread. I can see how we won't have too much to throw around based on my estimates.

Having an updated crack at our salary cap position for 2027.

Figures are all based off media articles from the time of their signings or extensions and/or estimates. Some are probably over & some under so possibly will even out.

NOTES:
- Base $11.7 million cap
- Estimating our club will be able to add an additional $200K (of max $300K) in veteran & developed player allowance for qualified vets Twal & Koroisau and qualified developed players Seyfarth, Makasini, Haywood.
- Total $11.9 million cap
- 22 players signed as per table below coming to $10.47 million.
- That leaves $1.43...
