It's reasonable to assume that backloaded contracts are the reason why Manly is tight under the cap for 2011. Guys like G Stewart, Kite, Watmough etc who re-signed in the last 2 years would have had to have smaller payments in the 1st year or so, and bigger ones in later years, as Manly was still paying Orford's (and others) backloaded contracts last year.
That would explain why the Farrer option of 1 year in France is necessary.
I don't credit the rumours that Manly has $$ worries, it's the reality of having to manage and stack a quality team that is capable of winning a premiership.
