In short we don't have the ready cash to spend the full cap allocation.
We are well and truly under the cap for 2016, but we won't be able to find the cash to spend the full allocation - I had it explained to me 3 times before I understood.
Like all my info the source is first hand not second hand as my previous posts re Lawrence's move ( 2 weeks prior)etc to second row demonstrate. Lets just say I have training stats; weight; bmis' etc on all players at my fingertips.
By shedding all bar a handful of unsigned players yes we can probably afford to buy all 3, but I'm still not confident they will all come because of what 2 first graders ( NOT FARAH) have been saying about Taylor - here's a hint one very aggressive young buck keeps being sent back to NSW Cup and told not to offload - but Fletcher thinks its the best part of his game?!
I love this club too much to reveal much more but even with all the 'inside info' I too am beginning to despair for our future. 90% of the Board's energies are spent on trying to resolve the Balmain Leagues saga - it is not a lost cause yet but our on field performance shows we are just treading water with a potential tsunami about to hit in the form of thee wooden spoon. If Taylor would select out best available 17 week in week out I believe we could finish 9th - 10th.
You all deserve some hope so let me finish by saying anything less than top 8 next year and he's gone no iffs no buts / there will be a mid season review which could see a caretaker coach installed by round 14 - guess who??? Little man in the red and yellow car…...
The Board and the NRL see this year a transitional but 2016 the club must perform on and off the field.
I'm not that egotistical or arrogant to think I have the perfect solution but starting with a coach we need someone who after 15 years of alibis for failure will be simply prepared to tell it like it is and actually drop under performing players - we've never had it! Benching Benji WHO BY HIS OWN ADMISSION was fat, out of condition and in poor form simply doesn't cut the mustard. I mean dropping to reserves. I simply don't buy the excuse that we don't have the depth to drop players - how much worse could the replacements play. Look at Cleary who still drops players even when the club is ravaged by injury; Bennett; Bellamy; Robinson; Maguire; Hasler all have track records of dropping players even when their NSW Cup teams are being belted by teams like our NSW Cup team.
