Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Do any of these rumours hold any weight in the state we're in right now - sure they've both apparently agreed to terms, but it's almost pointless right now till we know how we're coming out of this.

Yep ...if the cap gets cut by 2-3 million a club all deals will need to be renegotiated ......1.1 million for Ben Hunt ....anyone ...anyone ...anyone .....

Going to be a whole new ball game when the game finally gets going again. The only thing that will not change is that certain clubs will have far better rosters than most others as they will be able to get around the system as they do now. Anyway fingers crossed the money in club land will be spread more evenly than it is now, by that I mean the gap between the wage of a marquee player and the basic contract player is not so great.

I’m pretty positive Suli will be on big money next year. Even with a reduced cap he will be one of their higher earners. Massive risk for a kid who’s only shown motivation at one club, and that was under Hasler who’s known for getting players going. Under McGregor he could go back to his old ways

Dragons will be pushing the NRL to allow the drug cheat to coach them next year(1 year early)

Not a lot of room to move with DCE on 16% of their cap plus the Trbojevics on big bucks.?

Yeh, there’s about 5 of them on good money the rest will be on jobseeker equivalent.

we could find ourselves in a good position when this all blows over since the player market will be crazy and we will have heaps of money in the cap to spend

Not really ...the Cap is going to be reduced ...a lot of the guys we have coming off contract are not on big money ..maybe Elijah and McQueen..so you still have to fill those spots plus re negotiate those contracted beyond 2021...

I'd say we are in not so good a position as we were before all this cap wise..

Good thing is all Clubs are in the same basket...

I heard Elijah was on 550k ? Is this true ? It makes sense if you think about when he signed the extension he was definitely sought after .
So theres a fair bit of coin there with McQueen on 400k plus.

Don't think that much..maybe 400-450K..but the point is those figures don't mean anything now because as had been widely reported the Salary Cap will definitely be reduced..all players will have to take less than they are currently on and signing new players will be for less as well..

Every Club has the same Cap..

Clubs that have a few Million dollar players will have to re negotiate their contracts as well..

What might work in some Clubs favour is if a big name player like Taumalolo or DCE aren't prepared to take less if they can get more elsewhere..

How would the remainder of our Farah-Gate fine be handled this year, does it get carried over until next season or reduced??

That is a very interesting question.

Good Question..but that had already been accounted for this year as the NRL Grant is reduced to Clubs that get fined..they don't pay you then you pay them back..

From next year we have no fine...so we get the full amount..whatever it is to spend..

The Cap is also a nominal figure you have to spend if it was 9.4 Clubs fined can only spend 9.1..in the year the fine applies..
