Very surprised to see Samuel Hughes elevated to the top 30, Ciraldo must rate him highly, he had a solid year in Flegg/cup this year but I still would've expected both Jayden Tanner and Phillip Makatoa to be ahead of him.
Sam Hughes was in Parramatta’s top 30 a few years ago during covid years. Don’t think he ever got named in the teamlist at all. Tyrone Harding wannabe haha. Nah joking, hope he goes well.

He was promoted to the top squad before Ciraldo arrived.

Kinda sad about Ava. His 2021 season was very solid, carried our forward pack at times and always was ready to put his hand up for tough carries, along with solid defense. That hit on Lane was pretty special.

I'm pretty sure it's hard to be able to have effectively a top 30 ie JJ retirement without knowing Salary Cap.

I wonder if we are under a bit and plan to front load a few contracts when we find out Cap.

alot of the time they get that put in their contract that they will be guaranteed top30 by a certain year. A mates son had that in his contract for 23 also, at another club by the way.

We're light in the spine, surely we sign a half in the last top 30 spot.
FB - Averillo, Perhaps, Allen
5/8 - Burton
Halfback - Flanagan
How long is BBO out for?

Averillo, Hayze can play 5/8 but halfback we are in trouble.

jake would play 7 if flanno went down or they would apply for an exemption for either rajab or bailey to come into the squad.
but you are correct, we are light on in experience at 7 and we are fucked if Burton goes down

2023 will be about hoping Averillo, Flanagan and Burton can play every game, apart from Burton being missing for Origin.
Getting frustrated watching Flanagan in 2023 is the price fans have to pay for the club not panicking and spending a $$trillion on an over-rated half back. Keeping the options open for 2024.
I feel sorry for my dog. She thinks I'm yelling at her when Flanagan does nothing with the ball.
She thinks her name is Fukuflanegin. And her ancestry is Pasifika.

Gould said we needed to fill spots with nobodies as well. We must still bit a bit top heavy even with Jackson leaving. Okonbor waddell flanno Allen etc would be taking up large chunks. Andrew Webster reckons flannos on 650 this year lol

Someone do the rough calculations that seems way below the cap to me
:tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:
Way to extend a thread & cause an uproar..... calling all salary cap experts/auditors/armchair accountants......

There's no way he's on 650k. I doubt he's on 500k. When we signed him it was reported as a 3 year $1 million deal, so he's more likely on somewhere between 330-400k.
