Mansour will be at the Rorters anyway..

You are a stirer lol.
My personal opinion is Naiqama should be introduced to Brett Hodgson and put at fullback. If he cant offer us anything at fullback then he should go bye bye.

You spend 400k on a Winger if they are good enough to often be over the line.
Hasler foolishly spent 600k on Brett Morris when he was really not as good as his past self in getting over the line.
With the wing depth we have here, I can't justify 400k+ for Mansour. Yet I think if we recruit more people we should be aiming for top shelf not more depth or Value for money.

So holistically, the average salary of a squad using 100% of the cap is 313 333, with us having about 1 million left in the cap and only 28 players contracted we're at 300k overall.
Of course an 'average' player only earns 100-150k. Most of our backline would be on that currently. MWZ, Kev, Marsters, Fonua, Thompson etc would all be in this bracket. Milne, Benji too. Tui on about 400 and Nof on 450 would be the exceptions
@ said:
No way Kev or Marsters on such little money last time Marsters off contract 6 clubs went after him and Cronulla went hard and when Masters did resign he said he owed it to the club because they gave him a chance Kev on at least 250K he's a solid player who's played over 50 NRL games
@ said:
Why do you think an average player would earn less than half the average salary?
Guesswork on my part, but I imagine most NRL squads comprise a handful of 'star' players on contracts of two or three times the average salary, a few rookies on minimum (which is just less than $100k I believe), a few retreads and reclamation projects on not much more (this is your Robbie Rochows and Matt McIlwricks - experienced players but ones not exactly in high demand), and half or more of the squad on somewhere around the 'average' salary.
What I'm getting at is that with the new, higher cap you have to recalibrate your expectations. $400-450k is not a star player wage anymore, it is - or will be - pretty much standard for a good first grade player in his prime that most clubs could use.

For those saying you wouldn’t pay 400k for Mansour you’re kidding yourselves.
Mansour is a NSW winger who is key to penriths attack and he can defend too, he kickstarts plays so well and takes the big runs no one wants too take, he can finish as well.
MWZ yeah he’s improving but Mansour is better and if MWZ is making such a strong case the bloke is a centre too.
Mansour and Nofa would kickstart our attack so dynamically, and he’d help our chances in bringing Nathan Cleary to the club too…..
Kevy and MWZ on $450k or a NSW representative in Mansour, I know what I’d take for the same price

By average I mean not so talented. We would have Godinet, McIlwrick (maybe got a slight bump when re-signing),and the other players mentioned.
I think the Roosters have 12 of their 29 players on under 150k. We wouldn't have that many but would have a fair few. Marsters may be on a bit more than 150 but he was basically an NYC player with promise a few years ago. Now we'd be looking at re-signing him for 450k.
Kev wasn't originally re-signed. He was one of the last players to do so and was viewed largely as a nsw cup player to provide us with depth for first grade. He may have gone hard in preseason and earned a spot but you don't sign backup players for nsw cup on 250-300k….
Mansour would be looking for 500-600k most likely. He's better than what we have, but we can balance our books better by having our cheaper guys and buying some top quality stars, who we may have to pay overs for due to our limited success

Ross is 30 and looking for a retirement package. Meaney would be the player to target from the Knights.
It is pretty disappointing that we don't have a genuine speedster such as Korobeite or JAC in our lower grades. We need speed in hurry.
