Think it a more like this mate.

We have about 500k now to spend according to some. That’s to cover burton now if he was released. He isn’t.

Dwz goes. Both him and Bj are basically paid by their clubs this year already.

Next year if Dwz is on 800k tigers might be saying we have to pay 400k.

That 500k for burton now is there to pay in advance to allow Dwz the 400k owed from this years cap as burton isn’t coming.

We don’t take bjs deal for next year as it’s reported a club option.

Therefor we eat shit this year to the tune of 400k and take bj to make a roster space and in 2022 we are 800k clear of Dwz.

Would make sense if we got dufty with 500k there. Otherwise allen/Jac will be fullback.

Jac cotric and maybe okonbor for wings if he’s kept

Naden centre’s Allen
so we are effectively paying Leilua $400k to play half a season with us.

Does the club not understand we need FORWARDS!!! Really starting to piss me off.
Me too. But I’m convinced that baz is happy with his star forward recruits Waddell and Hetherington (and Elliott which he persuaded to stay on and re-sign) and he thinks they will be the backbone of his pack.

Your brother is a Manly supporter? :(

Sin bin and 50 push ups for you too :grinning:
HEY!!!!

That's not fair & by the way I had 2 brothers who were Manly supporters growing up. I think I did rather well abandoning ship & even though it was just after they won a premiership too (1978)!!!!

PS
Can't do pushups any more - too old LOL

I agree...
It's what we might have to do to offload an overpaid DWZ
Zero Tackle has his contract finishing 2022.
Absolute no to have the club look that inept.

How were we paying freight on Klemmer? It was he who wanted to leave us.
Yeah I know but we had cap dramas so I think we paid a bit of freight for him from memory.

I could be wrong. Maybe it was Graham I was thinking about

Definitely Graham as Klemmer sought an early release which meant he would have forfeited money.

they both have too many errors in their games.

Rumour about Mikaele the forward… he’s a good prospect, better swap option than bj

I can't say I've seen anything from Mikaele that makes me rate him (I actually wouldn't take him, I'd say Atoni's almost x2 as good), Utoikamanu's the prop I'd be going for.
