#nextweek LOL. What was the wash up of those "several" signings ? Joel Thompson was it wasn't it ? and about 3 months late.

Be interesting to see how good Neil Evans' mail is on this one - he seems certain Carney is a done deal pending NRL approval. Then again he was sure Pearce was locked and loaded. Anyway nothing can happen until we get salary cap investigation finalised - not sure how much longer that will drag on. Our hands are tied until that is resolved.

When Hodkinson went to the Sharks, Carney was mentioned to the board again and it's a case of where else can we go?! So it looks like Toddy holds all the aces now and as reported, pending the cap resolution, he will be at Manly in 2018.

We need to have a complete squad of 30 regardless of the cap so if the NRL impose a 400-500k penalty, we might see Carney still arrive on a minimum wage with the release of one or two other players to free up space...if someone needs to be released, they'll have to be on some pretty decent coin because as mentioned, we still need to have 30 players under the cap.

For example, if we release a guy on 600k, we can sign 3 players at 200k etc.

Hopefully we will be cleared and it won't come to that.

Has anyone on here on Twitter able to ask Evans for an update @Mark from Brisbane that means you

 

[Dan]

My news is we have signed Mister minit as a sponsor...

Done , now we wait and see!!

 

[double hoops]

Release players. **** Off. Like a 400k whack to the cap for cars which every club provides isn't bull**** enough.

@The Wheel

Neil confirmed that yes the agreement had been made BUT all subject to the NRL approving ( and the salary cap issue).

He above all people would have good inside knowledge!!

Safer than holding his dick. Oh, hang on, you mean the other dodgy Toddy?

Out of the 2 toddys there is more than a big chance one has nothing to grasp.

Hopefully we will be cleared and it won't come to that.

Even if we do release a guy on $600,000, we have to find a club that is prepared to pay him the same money, and at this time of the season that looks unlikely, so there's a good chance that we would have to top up his contract which would count on our salary cap, it's always a lose lose situation, the Dogs are still paying half of James Graham's contract.

 

[Freagle]

We had enough to make Pearce an offer of $800K. So even if we get penalised $400K we still have enough for some pretty decent ‘squad players’...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

If Carney has indeed been signed ( as Neil Evans is suggesting and pending NRL approval ) it’s doubtful he’d be on any more than a minimum salary for this season.

With maybe an upgrade for next if he works out ok.

That’s a BIG incentive for him to do the right thing!
