Put it this way guys. I'd love a new poll after this one.
If SJ comes to Canberra for $1.1m (speculation) per year over 3 years .... NOW would you take him?
You'd have to assume it'll be at least that.
That means Wighton + Hodgson + Papa + SJ chew up most of our cap.
Players like Rapana, Cotric, Croker, Tapine look wobbly for mine.
In this world we have serious conversations about letting Wighton go and moving Cotric to fullback in 2020.
Do We know What the cap is going to be in 2020 and 2021? For a club like ours it’s probably worth the risk as we haven’t been sniffling any sort of consistent success for years so may as well have a punt
9.6m next year then 9.8m, 9.9m and 10m subsequent years. Its a little misleading though as this total includes the developed player allowance and payments to the RLPA retirement funds.
I would imagine our $200k devleoped player allowance is going to Croker which makes his position more tenable. Gut feel says Hodgo might be on a good bang for buck deal. He didn't test the market for his last contract extension. Paps is on a fair bit of coin as he was reportedly chasing $800k. I'm OK with this provided he keeps the production up.
Wighton currently on not providing the value. Reports are he's on $750k which is up there with the better fullbacks. Production plus recent off field issues are making him more of a cap burden. Sticky's fav though so not going anywhere.
Tapine, Cotric recently signed extensions so wouldn't make sense to let them go so soon.
Comes back to Rapana who's currently looking to extend. Might be an unfortunate casualty if we can't offer what he may be worth.
I'd have thought BJ would be under the blow torch too. He can be a steps forward, 3 steps back type of player. I would prefer more stability on the edges if we can get some flair in the middle that Johnson provides.
