What everyone seems to be forgetting

[Tacky]

We have over 1 million dollars less than every other team this year in the salary cap. If we can get Ivan Cleary to sign and then get rid of either Moses or Brooks we can start recruiting for next year.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

I cant believe everyone forgot that

 

[Swordy]

Oh, its all making sense now. Id just plum forgot.

 

[Sco77y]

We don't even need to get rid of anyone as such, just don't offer some another contract as the majority aren't signed beyond this year. We're very unrestrained in that regard next year and if they play their cards right we can build a really solid team. This year will be a big trial and I'd think would determine who stays and who won't be returning. It's imperative we keep Tedesco, and if we can do that, along with retaining only a handful of solid players then it's a great start.

We have about 30c invested in next year's salary cap. We can start recruiting for 2018 right now (and already have if you'd believe the McQueen and Capewell stories).

I just realise we only have 8 players contracted beyond this year…

No we signed McQueen today so we'll be able to field a side (provided we are injury free)

I reckon we could give the Wellington 2's a great shot with Rowdy/McQueen combo..

Is McQueen official tho..?

We'd be deadset certs for the 2's

Not sure if the club's announced it but it's been reported a number of places, and not as a rumour.

That's ok we don't care about the nines anyway.

 

[stryker]

Lucky this bloke has joined the forum to point out the obvious to all of us. Love your work Tacky.

Jason Taylor can have one last run as part of his payout.

 

[matchball]

Did the op think the forum was under the impression we sign players and they come to play next week? Confusing.
All signings made count to our 2018 cap I thought.

We might as well because we never seem to try to win it judging by the players we send or their performance.Maybe next year we send 20 forum members over there on a jaunt to replace them

 

[Eye_Of_Da_Tiger]

Our Coaches are normally worried that if win the nines the club will have money to replace them.

$1M down this year doesn't = $1M down next year….

Add to that the salary cap will increase by $2+M, 85% of our team is off contract and the contracts we pay cease next season - money for recruitment regardless of Broses shouldn't be too much of a concern for some additional top grade recruits in the 300-400k mark.
