I daresay this will mean we keep Mamo. At least we'll make a much better effort of it with a guaranteed crack at the fullback spot. Next year it looks like we're aiming for:
1. Mamo
2. McManus
3. Sione
4. Gagai
5. Uate
We had to let someone go, there's just too much money being spent on the backline at the moment, and too many kids coming through needing a spot to play. Uate is on $500k, Gagai on $575k next year, Sione would be on about $400k too. Even McManus probably isn't cheap, although he should be. Not sure what BJ is on, but if Canberra are going to pay him $400k, I wouldn't be surprised if it was up around that somewhere. If the club is fair dinkum, we should probably be looking to move McManus on, too. Chanel Mata'utia isn't as good, but he's not that much worse either and would be on far less coin. Would have more pace and strength than McManus, probably not as reliable in D though.
