I guess the clubs plan is to sign the main core of the team and fill the odd gap from pathways. It would be a surprise to me if there is much in the kitty after we hopefully sign the Fainus. Okay the cap will increase but most of your better players will have clauses that eat into any increase.

Depending on how the next 5 years go, you might not want a team to support lol

Have to agree with @supercoach.

I would imagine that many if not most contracts with ratchet clauses would have a player remain at the same percentage of the cap when there is an increase.

At least that is what I would want to see in a contract that I was signing, making it very hard for a club to gain a great deal of benefit from any cap increases.

It basically mean that all you are ever going to have left over is dollars for lower priced players to fill in the gaps in the roster.

I hate to agree, but you're probably both right. When you put all your eggs in one basket, it hurts when that basket drops.

My concern is that our juniors will be raided. Financially as a club they are our future.

Terrell will be close to hanging it up at the end of 30. And the next 4 years Taylan and Bula will be in their prime. I think it’s stupid to not stagger contracts, but that’s 2030’s problem. I’d be looking to extend Sam for a year longer to 31. Latu end of 29. Pole looks to be the red headed step son in all of this. I’d be surprised if he stays.
