Knights' supporters suggesting if the salary cap is 9.2m, six clubs will have to offload players.

Yep article in SMH confirms that the cap will be around $9.2M and that 6 clubs have spent well in excess of this figure. Don't ask me how they know this.

Read somewhere that Cleary got his main targets early and saved a fair amount of cap space for this very reason.

Will be a very interesting few months, methinks

Something new for our club that Cleary and his recruitment staff are strategic thinkers. I still cannot believe we obtained Twal. Gould seemed very surprised the Eels would let him walk.

Guesses are;

Cowboys, Bulldogs, Eels, Penrith, Manly (?)

I wont even bother with Broncos or Roosters…

St George
 
This is the part of the SMH article which interests me
.
Rugby League Central has been working with all affected clubs, who have had to provide head office with a plan to get under the indicative salary cap figure.

Let's hope that includes WTs helpfully offering to take the cream of their talent!
 
come on everyone knows if its the same cereal salary cap cheats, they will find ways to get around the cap, none will lose any cattle that they need to keep.

definately - bulldogs
probably - raiders,panthers,sharks,broncos,eels

We might be able to get Mitch and Sharron back at the WT with Parra and the Dogs paying some of their salary.
Before you shoot me I'm just kidding.

Is that Corn Flakes or Weetbix cereal?
 
Would love to get one of Paulo or Tapine off the raiders if they're having cap issues.. Can't see them letting Tapine go though..

The big NZ second row Bulldogs' player who likes to unload would be welcome.

They won't release their best players. They also won't release Klemmer or Jackson before they get mentioned.

which players the over spenders release will be determined by what interest there is from the under spending clubs, for example the dogs might want to release someone like Eastwood, but they can only do that if another club want him, which hopefully is unlikely(please not us), so therefore they may have to release a player that other clubs actually want to sign, again how much clubs are over will also determine who. remember that they have to free up enough cash to still sign a cheap replacement. So those that have over spent may be forced to release a player that they don't want to, but need to.

True, but they may not have a choice. However, I'd be happy if we targeted young players on the cusp of NRL selection with proven junior rep records like Twal. Surely there are many players in this category who would enjoy an NRL opportunity under Cleary.
 
I think there are too many suitors for their players to force them to get rid of their stars:
Morris Twins - UK
Eastwood - UK/Tigers/Knights/Warriors
etc.

However, a side like Penrith has star juniors everywhere, so their outcasts could still be decent players.

Spot on there, Pawsandclaws, Coach Cleary and his cohorts are ahead of this game.
We're in the lolly shop, with a very sweet tooth!! :roll

Jack de balin
16 tackles, 3 offloads, 17 runs for 176m…

thats only at half time...

Jeez wish we nabbed him. Goes hard all day.

I made this suggestion like 4 months ago…. nice to see you guys catching up.

Yea and what…
Your suggestion didnt and wont happen.
Just like your james ROBERTS SUGGESTIONS.

We can all suggest signing the best players in the comp but whats the point if it's impossible and unrealistic?

I'm ambitious, I aim high and don't settle for mediocrity. I believe that anything is possible. I'm sorry if you're not on my mental level.

Your mental level is delusional ?
Yeah, we arent on the same level cos i live in the real world.
Dont worry little buddy, keep dreaming

If by delusional you mean genius then yes. I'm a world champion armchair coach and an observational mastermind. If I was running this team we would win the GF every year.

But as we well know, if the player doesn't want to go…...
