Josh Ailaomai signing looks like a waste of salary cap room

[fletch]

after watching Ailaomai play today for the Knights in the NYC he looks slow and lazy, no where near as good as our own NYC props in Evans/Napa/Liu/Brent, very strange signing, surely we would have been better off keeping some of our own.

also with the way Takarangi and Guerra have been going the last month, I bet the club wished they hadn't signed Bosden now.

He's a good player, he hasn't been anywhere near his best today but yeh he's a power runner so does become very lazy.

Gotta agree not sure why we signed him. Forgetting our Under 20's for a second we've got JWH, Tasi, Kennedy, Ryles, Masoe, Arona, FPN & Bosden if needed who can play prop. Then you throw in the 20's and we're pretty well covered.

I think we may let some players go pre and or midseason,If not needed in 2012!

The salary cap if for the top 25 paid players he may not be paid 2 much..there is no cap for a players that dont play or come into that top 25 he may be a newton signing in addition the guys only 19 I think so could come under the u20s cap..

And let Evans and Napa get bought out?? No. Throw them in there. We need 20's every team does, to create a foundation and future.

Being bought is usually in reference to selling out on your morals for cash... just not sure where you're going with it. If it's what you mean then I don't get it...

My only example for using them is if there were massively dire times of injury...
