Where is it? How tall is it? Where did he buy it? Why can't Ian Schubert find it?

With the amount of signing and chasing of players that the Titans are doing, surely this is the only way they are able to afford such big names and keep under the cap.

Said money tree + brown paper bag + don't ask = Unlimited Salary Cap!!

Am I just missing something, or are the Titans easily heading towards blowing out the salary cap?

Prince? Bird? Minichello? Idris? Campbell? Mead? Bailey? Gordon?
Then you have Myles and Champion they are after...

Something seems very very wrong to me!

Campbell, Bailey = Nearing end of careers.
Lafranchi = Offloaded to UK.
Prince = Nearing end of 5-year deal I think ...

The rest = Not much clue here. Need to know more.

dude they aint over. We can't talk. How are we not over the cap?

Idris wasnt on much in his previous contract, all the rest we will be letting go of are either on **** all money (including Ryan), with the exception of Roberts.

On top of that we have resigned Morris and Ennis for no doubt more money than their last contract, signed Graham who would be on min 300k + we will be paying big bucks to keep Barba (would not surprise me if we have to fork out min 250-300k)

It looks like are signing J.Mannah, we have our eyes on little Hopa and Reddy lol.

Well Nathan Friend wasn't even offered a contract which is bizzare given their new found free money. HMMM

Then you have guys like Ryan James and Tomane who they'd have locked up.

Yes they might have a number of players retiring or off contract, but those players still need to be replaced to make the top 25 under the cap.

Maybe Friend wasn't offered a contract because of cap constraints. I just find it funny you are so happy to whinge about the situations of Souths and Gold Coast when we have made many signings recently (past 3 years) and look like we are not done for 2012.

That's just ol' "FIGJAM" Searle throwing his considerable weight around again.

Mr Invisible you accuse every club of salary cap cheating..

The only one you don't accuse is ours...It's really amusing tbh, we are one of the few clubs that have been incredibly active in the player market for the past years.
