Confirmed NRL signings

[Manchild]

So does he still have to pay Souths the 5% fine? I reckon he has the right to tell them to **** right off.

[Makaveli]

Should make a great combo with cornish

Hey some posters here would have them as two parts of our spine.

I think I will stick with Sezer and Wighton.

Haha yep just flip back a year ago..

It's a bit rich fining him then releasing him a few hours later.

Id be telling them to get f$and@"d as well.

Can anybody attempt to rationalise Manly's salary cap? They have arguably had the best backline in the competition for the past five years (actually I don't think there are any arguments about it) and they lose Foran, upgrade DCE and a bunch of their juniors coming through. They lost Stewart and Watmough the year before. Recently lost a bunch of fringe players and signed Myles and in the frame for Walker. However I think they will miss Ballin more than they think.

Manlys 9 and 6 will be their weak points this year.

Parcell have some potential , I dont rate Api though.

They will still need to move a few players , Hiku for one

They signed Marty taupau and Lewis brown as well. I certainly can't explain their cap. Barrett clearly knows that the easiest way to win is third party payments

Manly aren't a team I look at and go "wow, how are they under the cap?!?"

They've lost Foran, Watmaugh and Stewart amongst others. That's big dollars

They have replaced them with an Aus and QLD rep in Myles, Kiwi rep in Brown, re-signed and upgraded DCE to $1mil a year. Not to mention having Snake, Lyons, Matai.

Foran was on 500k which all went to DCE and then some.
Stewart had no years left on his contract when he went to the rabbits so you can't add that to your budget.

Watmaugh is the only one you can add as big dollars that would affect the cap. He was going to be on 900k as it was backended and that would have finished up in 2016. So after that his potential dollars no longer affect the budget either.

Added:
Myles, 500k
Tapau, you'd assume is on more than myles but maybe the same amount in the cap.
Brown
Walker
Lussick
Koroisau

And retained:
Jake and Tom Trbojevic
Brett Stewart
Matai

You could say the cap looks stretched at best before walker even shows up. Clearly why they are trying to move Hiku on.

[reptar]

Damn - the Knights have gotten rid of Kidley and Houston - is there anyone left to pisstake during game calls?

[zim]

I think mini-houston is still there.
