I heard Twal made 62 tackles on Sunday …. How much overtime can he do?

Well it is double time on a Sunday. 🤣

Just doing some rough estimations in how much of Luai's reported $1.2M in 2028 we may still have to spread around.

Terrell May $650K to $1M = $350k
Taylan May $600K to $700K = $100K
Jahream Bula $700K to $900K = $200K

Now these are just estimations on what they are on this year to what their new salary could be in 2028.

So if we've added $650K in salary to these 3, that leaves $550K to spread around others to extend. And not taking into consideration, other players' salaries who won't be extended + rise in salary cap.

If we wanna keep Madden,currently on $50k courtesy of Broncos,...were well om the way to spending all of Luais $1.2 mill ..and weve still got the Fanaus to renew
So any new signings have to be funded by departures effectively
In the current challenging market,thats the price of retaining the core of our squad

Im sure Isaac sees it that way 😂…

Yeah, 10% increase in cap and player gets 10% increase as well.

I'm sure that's the way Moses sees it unless he can swindle, bribe, scam or cheat his way into getting more.

Yep. I doubt we extend Royce Hunt past next season so that'll be approx $450K.

The key is having 8-10 close to the minimum it seems.

Surely we are not paying Terrell $1 million?

Got a gut feeling about Royce … he plays at the Perth Bears next season …he is a Perth Junior so would be a good story … frees up some cash and does him a favour to sign a multi year deal with them..

Royce has been good.
Need balance
Think the key is to have young guns coming thru which we lock in for low $$ We supposedly have a great nursury
When push comes to shove,we cant afford to keep them all
Issue for us is whether we have the right balance of juniors vs established players to make an impression on the finals series..and whether we have the right juniors to take us all the way

Twal is just incredible. Amazing numbers for anyone that can appreciate how much defence zaps out of you.
