It's being reported that the Dogs are paying a substantial chunk of Perrett's salary for next s season.
Surely not another injury?

Whispers Sea Eagles Lloyd Perrett has a dodgy knee & looks like he will have 2 go under the knife before season starts #memebersexclusivenot

At least barrett can wheel out lasts years excuse about injuries being the cause of us not making the semis again
Anyone know how the top 25 works? Meaning, if Lussick, Perrett and Hastings are all injured at the start of the season, can we effectively use 28? With these guys introduced later.
Or you nominate your 25 prior to the season starting and that's it?
I know last year we had to get approval from the NRL to go above and beyond the 25, perhaps these pre season surgeries have something to do with that?
2nd tier is also often much less than the allocated amount before you even start the season, as any players you are paying to play elsewhere, that money comes from your 2nd tier cap I am pretty sure. So if there is poor management of that, it is when clubs can get into real strife.
Ie. tigers probably will have some 2nd tier issues given what they are paying farah will come from there.. hence why it seems they are looking to offload a few, and bring some min wage players into the main squad an "balance the cap" a bit. A handful of injuries and it'll be panic stations there.
Hasn't it been clear for a while that Snake and Matai won't be playing? Lussick is the only big out for me. The other 4 are not in any way proven 1st graders and if we have to rely on Parker, Perrett and Wright to win us games we're in a lot of trouble. But of course, it's never nice to see our players get injured. We've had a bugger of a few seasons.At what point in your opinion does an excuse become a valid reason.
For example, before a game this year we have lost or likely to lose
Snake, Matai, Lussick, Wright, Parker, Perrett, and Meehan.
That 20% of our top 25. No big deal, but how many do you need us to lose to concede it may just affect our chances?

Isn't wackos whispers a troll account?
I remember him being way off on a few things last year.
Snake and Matai were never going to play this year so would not be counted in our top 25.At what point in your opinion does an excuse become a valid reason.

You said that you knew that meehan would go back to boxing so he can also be discounted Also he has not been cleared by the NRL so he would not be counted in our top 25
I don't hear too many other teams having as many injuries as us so I wonder if our rookie coach's training methods are contributing?
I am also not convinced that ferris our our answer either as the titans had a poor injury record when he was there but were much better last year.
Don't recall Des using injuries as an excuse when he was coach
The way it works is that you have your top 25 under the 7 mil cap. You second tier cap is 440k. Minimum salary for a top 25 player in 2017 is 85k. Therefore if you had 10 players outside the top 25 at 80k you can play 5 of them (5 x 80 = 400k) before needing special dispensation to play another as it would push you over 440k cap. With players that have been released or where a payout has been negotiated the amount of the payout determines what cap they fill up. So if Farah is paid 650k by Tigers he will take up 1 place in their top 25 and 650k of their 7 mil cap. If Meehan had left and joined another club and we had already paid him 40k from Nov 1 when the league year started then he would eat up 40k of our second tier cap meaning we only had 400k left.You may find that monies being paid to dearly departed players still comes straight out of your main salary cap.
