Shouldn't there be 25? Any ideas who they might be if they are going to add another 3?

yeah id say there are like 5 players or more fighting for the last 3 spots in the team

that is the best explaination I could come up with
but it aint the confirmed truth
maybe if someone could be bothered ringing the club they might fill you in to what is going on with the last 3 in the squad

Do you think it has anything to do with the salary cap? Maybe they are restricted to 22 because of their past infringements

seems strange though. Suprised to see none of the junior kangaroos there. Phelps, Nate Myles or Frizzo

why should they go 3 players short over something that happend ages ago????

yeah maybe those 3 will make it but they have new signings that they want to see how they will work in the side

I think they are still on a reduced cap as penalty. When they got busted there penalty was handed out over a few years so they didnt have to sack anyone on the spot. Maybe the 22 players make up the amount of their cap. not sure though just guessing?

Nahh guys, i think instead of having the cap money to spend on 25 1st graders the club is looking to spend it on 22 specialised players (a bit more money on each player)rather than 25 with more fringe players.. lets hope we don't get too many injuries HEHE..but if its the rules that u need 25 players registered 4 first grade then my theorys F*kD

reduced cap is lifted this year or next but only accounts for one player to the amount of about 300 K...

only clue id say is either 3 positions up for grabs... or folkes will leave it open for a few weeks into the season to see how some go and some dont...

Maybe because only 22 players have been signed up on first grade contracts?

At the start of the year a team must nominate 25 players for the year and all must fall under the cap. It is against the regulations of the league to name anything less than 25 players for the year.
You cannot name less than that to enure they squeeze under the cap, if you can't fit 25 players then you need to reduce the salaries so you can.
Folkes has simply named his preliminary squad and there are definately 3 more spots up for grabs, but who they will be is the question...
Its a smart way to get those just outside the squad to train the house down in hope of getting picked.

I think that the remainig 3 spots will be filled after we play our trial games. Since about 7-8 players cannot make it to the WCC, then that means that alot of rookies will get a shot & Folkes will choose from this & the games against Canberra & Souths. The players that will probably get in are:

*Cameron Phelphs
*Jamie Frizzo
*Nate Myles

Pretty sure that they come off the cap restrictions this year.
