Do you have a link detailing this policy? I was of the understanding this applies to the minimum salary bracket only.
If I were, I sure don't have a very high opinion of myself do I?Possm are you really Millward in disguise ?
Um no thanks.Please feel free to change players and player's salaries as you see fit. Mine are only an estimate.
Dugan and Packer will be upgrades so you are not using up 1.4m just as Widdop was an upgraded contract. So you are probably only using an extra 300K.One would assume we are under the cap in 2017. So in 2018 we have the players on our roster today + approximately an extra 2m due to rise in the cap.
2m less what's already been spent for 2018
-900k - Hunt Millward has said he contract price is well below 1m - 1.1m left
-200k Widdop upgrade - 1.7m left
-100k Thompson upgrade 1.6m left
-100k De Belin upgrade 1.5m left
-100k Lawrie new contract 1.4m left
So who to keep and who to let go? Please try and balance our cap by estimating the salary for each player. I'll go first and you can follow with your own input. Please feel free to change players and player's salaries as you see fit. Mine are only an estimate.
Balance to spend so far is +1.4m
Immediately Extend: Balance 1.4m
- 800k Dugan 550k left

So we get to keep all our good players including juniors already signed and still have 550k to play with.
Agree mostly Coastie but I think we can do without Mathews. With Host & Sele getting some experience in the top grade he may be moved on.At the end of the day you have nearly 20 players off contract and decisions have to be made how they retain and who moves on.
Out of those players i'd like to see staying
Dugan at a sensible price
Packer also at a sensible price
Nightingale at a reduced price
Mann lots to offer
Milne has alot of potential
Hutchison enough talent to work with
McCrone for experienced depth
Mathews like McCrone experienced depth
Hind as a developing prop
Dodd as an outside back with potential
The one guy i really want to see stay is lafai the way he has turned his form around is fast becoming a fav player at still in his mid 20's.
I have to say Host seems to have fallen out of the rotation at present and luc i still have reservations about his fitness and attitude.Agree mostly Coastie but I think we can do without Mathews. With Host & Sele getting some experience in the top grade he may be moved on.
Yea true,Host is a real mystery hopefully he's still in their plans.As for Luc he's like big brother an enigma.I have to say Host seems to have fallen out of the rotation at present and luc i still have reservations about his fitness and attitude.
He is in the plans i doubt they would just toss him aside its more Sele has earned a spot and has played well enough to keep it.Yea true,Host is a real mystery hopefully he's still in their plans.
Possm, I relate to you. I have done calculations in the past too, with the whole squad.One would assume we are under the cap in 2017. So in 2018 we have the players on our roster today + approximately an extra 2m due to rise in the cap.

You may be correct about contracts increasing the same % as the cap increases, or you may not be. I am aware that some players have the cap increase, contract increase by the same % in their contracts, but I am not sure if it is included in all contracts.I just did. As the salary cap increases so will existing contract $$$. For example, if the salary cap increases 10% then then contracts will increase 10%. A $2 million dollar increase doesn't automatically equate to $2 million dollars free to play with.
Also consider that a number of our players may receive rep bonuses in their contracts as well. Vaughan, DeBelin, McInnes are all potential Blues bolters this year, while Packer has already been recalled into the NZ test side.
If only you were the real Frank Facer all this would be sorted out by now.Possm, I relate to you. I have done calculations in the past too, with the whole squad.
I need to get a white board.
When I was in year 12, a teacher was asking students what their dream job would be. I said to be secretary (the CEO was called the secretary) of St George Rugby League Club. In my teens in the 80's, I knew that Frank Facer was our Secretary (CEO) during out 11 year reign and that he was a legend of our club. Only Saints supporters know of Frank Facer, and that is still very few.If only you were the real Frank Facer all this would be sorted out by now.
