The Silly season thread

[The Brain]

You give me a headache ...comings and goings here not 5 million threads .Authorized by 13 and the liberal party

I think Farma has signed with saints couldn't read the Tele article but the pic looks like him.

Yeah It's Poasa Faamausilli.....closing in on a 2 yr deal with the Dragons, no great loss IMO....played 30 games here but i hardly noticed him. Him and Nat butcher are our only forwards i didn't rate.

In other news, Jack Hetherington signs for 3 yrs with the dogs, That is a forward we should have chased, for post JWH days plus putting some fear back into our pack.

Didn't we have Hetherington and let him go for poor discipline?

Clearing up some space in our cap no doubt. I wonder if we have enough to go for someone?

A decent prop and an outside back would be handy. Reckon we are light in the second row too.

Aubo, Flanno, Farmer Silly, Hall etc. should free up some cash.

They i understand wont have any cash for new players and be lucky to keep the ones they have - 6 listed as off contract 31/10/2020 and 9 can field offers from 1/11/2020-plus they have been trying to upgrade a few contracts too- paying overs for some players is affecting the retention of players and those middle and lower down squad players which then affects depth.

Who would you suggest we are paying any OVERS for... any facts?

Tedesco (3 year 3.6 mill deal although wants a 5 year 6 mill deal) and Keary ( signed 3 year - 930 k a season extension)- aproxomately taking up 2 million or more a season- the cap is 9.9 mill - The squad is going to lack depth as they have other players on decent coin.-

Facts? Please.
Who on here knows facts about our salary cap?

We got rid of Cronk and Trell last year to replace them with Jmoz and Flanno.

Before we got SBW there were reports we had $800K spare.

We get rid of Flanno, SBW, Maubs, Hall, Farmer this year and we have no cap space?

Don't believe what you read in the papers.

Tedesco and Keary

You have LOST IT. Thats hilarious. they both could get more elsewhere. Go have a bex and lay down.

We also lost Tets. But we have used some coin in upgrading players - Radley, Keary, SST etc.

Mitchell's money was spent after they withdraw the contract- upgrades and targeted re-signings is where the money is going and Flano on 280 k was the lowest paid regular NRL half and most likely Regular Chook player too
