The salary cap looks like it will be substantially reduced in 2021.
The payments to players will also have to be reduced. So $800K
may not be an option for these players.
Yeah its all relative though everyones pay is adjusted so top players will still be even par

Honestly I rate him just as good if not better then fifta
He is EASILY better than Fifita in this moment. Fifita has the higher ceiling and is very, very good for his age, but Bateman nails all the basics that Fifita doesn't while still being a genuine attacking threat.

Not a bad idea Napa off the bench is ideal I don’t think he’s ideally a lead front rower and I do rate toomaga
Same man. Wasn't Napa always a bench player at the chooks? I always thought it would be a good idea to keep one of our big guys fresh off the bench so that they can come on and break tired defences.

Yeah pretty much always been an impact player I still like him but his role in trying to replace klemmer never suited him hopefully Thompson can take the lead next year and Napa can play in shorter sharp burst of aggression

Get ogden fit and bulk toomoga up he was a top front rower. Im doubting some of pays positional changes
Forgot about Ogden. He surely deserves to be at least named on the bench. Mate I also question Pay's logic at times as well.

Looks good, my source worked with pay whilst he was stood down so am confident that we will at least have a crack at him would be great to snag him
Or Hooper has just seen this thread this morning!

They were just talkimg about it on fox league, from what Ennis said it's unlikely.
Approval to test the market and then go back to the Raiders.
If the Raiders up his contract for next year it would mean less money for Cotric. Not a bad each way bet.

I’d take him!
Thompson Bateman Napa Jackson ensure we won’t be pushed around.

Ogden To Omaga Elliot Have young aggression

Stimpson Britt are solid. Hey Stimson fit he could add real value.

If only we had CHN still....

Foran stays fit and we somehow jag a good hooker and things definitely improve

That's what I was thinking lol... Everyone rubbished Hooper and yes he's a wanker, but let's not forget Klemmer and Matterson, where there's smoke.
