Cowboys have Coote , that's like saying the Tigers have Nick Graham
They'd swap Coote for Tedesco in an instant

Idk, today i've been feeling a little more confident that he'll stay. Someone will definitely be sacrificed to accommodate him though. Most likely Nofoaluma and Koroibete, hell maybe even Sironen
i think we will retain Nofo for some reason, and i hope we keep Sirro as well but i see us letting him go before nofo. hope to keep all three. and i like Koro i hope i'm wrong but i don't see him getting better. im fairly certain he wouldnt be on crazy coin but every little bit helps to retain who we want/need

I'd agree. We have forwards coming out of our bunghole atm. Wouldn't kill us offloading one of them.

Hey hey hey!!!!
Just calm down…be careful what you say
Give him what he wants...he really will be worth it
@GNR4LIFE said:
I would think we are capable to keep at least 3 of them. Koro seems the most likely to go if any as another club might be able to offer a starting spot and therefore more money.
I think the money freed up from Anasta and Pato plus maybe BMM will be the price we pay.
Not sure on Buchanan's contract but think he may go as well, he wouldn't be on much though.

I can't see how we would have any problems under the salary cap. I think we will re-sign Tedesco, Nofo and Ava. I believe we have an option with Curtis and we will take that. I think people underrate how good he will be.
Koro will most likely go mainly to get an opportunity to play.
Does anyone know how long Marion Seve is signed for?

Hearing some of the feedback and looking at most of the juniors myself- if ALL or most of the juniors we have coming through reach their potential with us we could be undefeated premiers in a few seasons

If we do have salary cap problems given our rooster we are paying some players massively over their true market value.
I always thought that was the case in the past with players like Gibbs, Fulton, Ryan and Chris H being paid more than they were truly worth. Benji was overpaid given his form was so inconsistent and we all know Blair is overpaid.

Lets be aware if Tedesco resigns and Brooks and Moses reach their potential then we are going to seriously shed some players in other positions. You can't have a team full of strength and for all the talk of the bulldogs maybe being over the cap they have a horrible spine which won't be costing them much - Perrett, Reynolds, Hodgkinson and Ennis.
We will have a fantastic spine, we have already signed up Woods, Galloway, Taupau for 2016 as well as fulton. We are going to struggle to keep some of the others. I would expect we will loose - Koroibete, BMM, Anasta and at least 1 of Ava and Gavet if not both given Bichnannan and Brown are both signed up for next year already
Brooks, Moses and Tedesco could all be on big money given heavily incentive driven contracts for the 2 halves at the least

Next year is the tricky one. 2016 will see money freed up with Blair off contract. Even if we re-sign him it won't be on the same dollars he's on now.So perhaps they will consider back ending one or two of the contracts. (Although I hate that. In fact I reckon it should be outlawed).

If you compare our best 17 on paper with that of the Roosters, Broncos, Dogs, Souths, etc (I understand they have much better third party deals in place) with ours I seriously can't see how we cannot retain/upgrade almost all of entire squad within the cap. Seriously who in our squad is on big/decent money? Farah, Lawrence, Blair, Woods, Keith, Fulton and maybe Moltzen.
Farah has club concessions for his time at the club and third parties. Lawrence and Fulton may also be eligible soon for long service and that would've been figured into their contracts. Benji, Lote, Bell, Utai, Spence, Groat, Meaney and others are gone.
We are no longer back loading Heighno, Gibbs or Ellis.
If you even roughly guess the monetary value of last weeks 17, and compare it with the Roosters squad than chances are you would struggle to see why we aren't well under the cap. If Tedesco wants 500k, give it to him. In 3 years time chance are he'll be playing origin (if not a smokey this year) and will give his value back ten fold.

Find it hard to believe that some on here are suggesting we offload young Sirro, The boy was running amok last year and would be in our pack barring his injury at the nines. How quickly some forget. I expect him to come on in leaps and bounds now that he will be focusing on a permanent move to the backrow.
Not only does he possess a lot more skill than most second rowers, even at his young age, his little (okay huge) brother Bailey is as good as any other junior out there and we will want to keep him in our system as well.
