And what has Cust done at hooker? All of his highlights are with him playing #6.

Moving him from #6 to hooker and expecting him to do wonders might not work as well as you'd hope... keeping in mind our first choice hooker may or may not return.

I just don't think Foran is the solution to any of the problems we have at the moment.

Its a good point you make i meant levi and cust. What are the solutions?
For me foran will do the following..

Take control of the game freeing up cherry evans
Push walker to centre that way our backline looks much more dangerous. Parker isn't good enough.
He will get repeat sets
Combined with turbo can make a foran snake type combination
Help the young players he is a leader now his experience and skills would come in handy for them

Settle down and have a beer.. Thommo leaving is the money we can use. Elliot and croker deadwood. Lots of Foran money

I'm sure Thommo's 400k is already spoken for buddy.

These guys were all off-contract so any money for them has to come from a new place.

Hoppa re-signing and serious upgrade
Cust re-signing
Keppie re-signing


We will also need find money to pay these guys if we want to re-sign:

Metcalf
Waddle
Levi
etc.

We also upgraded Schuster this year with money out of next years' cap.

Not many math people here i'm afraid.

Didn’t we also upgrade the Turbo’s commencing next year?

Prefer Cust

Thanks.
How did I forget about that half a million or so.

There are others too who don't spring to mind.

Levi is being subsidised by Drugcastle this year so will cost more next year if we keep him.

After offloading Elliot, Thommo, She Rex etc, re-signing, upgrading and renewing who we want to keep we will be lucky to have enough to buy a beer let alone sign a crock like Foran for 400k..

Kieran Foran 'not kicking stones' over Blake Green's Belmore deal

Top Dog Kieran Foran knows his future no longer lies at Canterbury and he has five weeks to impress rival clubs. Will it be Manly, Newcastle, the Tigers?

Wow... Metcalf, Waddell and Levi are your big concerns?
You must be an accountant because you obviously know jacksh*t about football...
Metcalf was a turnstile in 9s, Waddell is a shadow of the player he was pre-surgery and Levi has had 1 1/2 good games out of 15 and adds nothing in attack... yeah, we would be screwed without them...

Saying I dont care if they sign someone is hardly shooting my mouth off... more an expression of exasperation with the current setup... check my posts, I cant stand Foran but woteva at this point...

Who would I like them to get rid of?
Keep 2x turbos, keep AFB and apart from that I could not give a flying f*ck who they sell out of this rabble that have been belted by teams coming 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 12th.. does that include the kids? F*CK YEAH if our coach is not gonna play them anyway... Campbell Graham is 21 and played his 63rd NRL game last night...

 

[Damien2812]

Take some money from DCE's contract. His annual salary could cover 2 experienced halfs.. lol

Get him Franky

The funniest thing is that people on here think they know what's going on with our salary cap. Every post regarding it is just pure conjecture. We have enough money / we don't have enough money. Truth is nobody has the slightest idea but will use their best guesstimates and mechanics of it to form and base their opinion around lol... but in saying that I think we can sign whoever we want because the money is there if the club wants it to be.

I've done it in the past,
I wouldn't call it sad.. everyone has an opinion/thoughts/ ideas and are entitled to them. After all, we wouldn't have anything to argue about if we didn't haha

Agree . And many contracts are staged over a few years for cap
A million dollar 3 year deal signed lasy year might have been
200 year 1
350 year 2
450 year 3

These can be good contracts for financial balance but player dont always want out in year 2 or 3 as the have bigger pay days ahead

Isn't that the structure back-ended contracts have, & didnt the NRL stop allowing them last year (or the year before?).

Yes they stopped or won’t register contracts of that nature.

However Multiple contracts, Brown paper bags, golf days, Diamond rings, jobs or units for family members are still allowable.

Maybe they are just using roosters maths to sort out the salary cap?

Without the money to pay for it.

That's great news. I'm looking forward to the announcement of our new game-managing half then.
