Where's the cash gone?

Where's the cash gone?

Ok - so we know the salary cap went from 3.3 million to 4 million. (That's $700k)
We also know BK has left our shores (That's $250k)
We also know Leuluai has left our shores (That's $120k)
We see Cleal / Witt / Stephenson gone say $100k each (That's $300k)
Say Lennon / Styles / Creary on $50k each (That's $150k)

If you had:- $1,520,000 to spend (around), can someone please go shopping, and tell me if there is a large difference?

For mine:-

$400k - Lyon
$250- Orford (upgrade)
$100k - Hall
$70k Afamasanga
$50k - Neuman
$50k - Bani

That's $920k added to Cart (hehehehe)
Then take into consideration around $300k worth of upgrades.

Wouldn't that leave us bucket loads of room?

Opinion's. If you had $1,520,000 worth of cap, how would it be spent in our position. Do y'all think we are front loading?

$1 million gone on orford and lyon.

Ryan the average salary for the old cap was 130K - i dont think players outside the top 17 would be close to that

Theres no way Lenno and Mitch got that much.

 

[Garts]

Where's the cash gone?

Hall was reported to be on $60k, pretty sure that was the figure thrown around in a interview where he was backing his ability to play well and sign a bigger deal in 08.

Yep widely reported as $60k in the Daily etc.

Ok - so there's potentially more. Spend up.

The strategy was to buy one or two blue chips per year. One prop and one backrower for 08 is the go. I wonder who the prop will be?

I'd:-

Release Jason King
Beaver will retire
Luke Williamson to retire
Shayne Dunley to retire
Michael Robertson "offered" release
Buy Pual Gallen
Buy Luke O'Donnell
Buy Mark O'Meley


That makes:-

01. Brett Stewart
02. Steve Matai
03. Jamie Lyon
04. Steven Bell
05. Chris Hicks
06. Travis Burns
07. Matt Orford
08. Brent Kite
09. Michael Monaghan
10. Mark O'Meley
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Paul Gallen
13. Luke O'Donnell

14. Matt Ballin
15. Mark Bryant
16. George Rose
17. Jack Afamsanga
