There isn't many there that will free up much cap space if they go.
Some of them are really going to have to pull their finger out to earn a new deal.
I'd only be wanting to keep Martin and Harper at the minute and wait to see what the others do during the year.
Rough maths indicates that we may have some Salary Cap space currently available. Lichaa is on decent money, his original contract was 3 years @ $1m, I'd guess similar for his extension. I'd suspect that Brown, Fualalo and Tualau are on more than the NRL minimum and if we, say, allocate the minimum to the rest of the off contract players that means around $2m of cap space free at the end of next year.
My view is, by deliberate contract timing, I would want around 1/4 to 1/3 of my cap space available each year. At $9.6m total that means between $2.4m and $3.2m available, aside from TPA's, loyalty and other cap allowances. Based on that we are fairly close to what I would consider the minimum I'd want freed up for next year, just my opinion of course.
