Off contract after 2025
550K JAC
300K Hutchison
350K Salmon
350K Sexton
500K Sutton
300K Taaffe
300K Turpin
---
2,650,000 +
700K widely reported we had left over in the cap this year
--
$3,350,000

1.1M Papenhuyzen (possibly less with TPAs)
1.1M Hunt (850K for 2026)
500K Thompson
--
2.7M

JAC + the 700K in the bank more than pays for Hunt for 2025. Even more up our sleeve if Sexton wants to leave early

Hunt is a free agent he could sign for little as 350k but most likely will sign for 500k

Great calculation but it's not that simple. So get rid of 7 players from the top 30 for 3. Where do we get the money to pay to fill the rest of the squad for the 4 players U threw out ?

You can have 4 min wage guys. Our kids coming through won't be on big $.

Article I read said we are out of the race for Hunt and Sexy is the 7 for the near future, I don't disagree with you that the jury is out on his level on ability/how far he can take us.

It's not that simple you realise your only allowed a certain amount of development contracts. And minimum wage isn't a few dollars it's 130k. That's 520k 4 players you didn't calculate then you realise even if your plan worked we will have the worst depth of any club in nrl history.

All the tops teams pay close to minimum wage for most of their 18-30. Actually almost every team does and if they're not on close to minimum wage outside the top 17 they're most likely duds the clubs are trying to move on and are struggling to do so. Our depth will be fine.

1 article saying we're out of the race doesn't really mean anything, neither do the articles that say we're interested. It's something we should be doing so until he's signed his next contract I'm hopeful.

Almost every team pays almost all of their 18-30 close to minimum wage, yes. Most of the ones on more than 300k not in the 17 are duds that their club is trying to move on. Our club over the past few years is a perfect example. Now you know.
