Damb, the salary cap is hurting us this year. We seem to be letting go of players without signing any. For this reason i would love a GF win this year as it may be a few years before we are premiership contenders again.

It does sound like Matai wants to stay, hopefully we can piece together something pretty close to the Warriors and keep him. May come at the expense of Farrar though

You make a real good point KE u wanka
Farrar has been great this year but maybe we need to let him go to keep matai

Surely hoppa can fill in for Stewie if needed in 2011
and Whare can jump in for killer or Matai

It might be a case that theres not enough money for ben

The difference between signing Matai is the cost that comes with him, when Farrar is half the price and we can keep a junior coming through.

Easier way of putting it keeping Matai means releasing Farrar and another junior (say Lussick, Hoppa or Whare).

Simple maths says if you win a comp you have to release more than half that squade over the next 3 years. I said this ages ago that we would lose players over the next 2-3 years.

Well the Storm manage to keep their players but we know why....
