Harry is turning into a wanker.

Not at Cam Smith's level but unsportsmanlike shit in his game has crept in past couple of years.

His still yet to win a premiership hopefully it stays that way.

Anyone from Bunnies we want to next year? They are loaded with big money players and will need to offload a few perhaps for a half also. Not anyone I particularly love, Cam Murray not going anywhere.

After this week team list jogging my memory…

Matt Dufty?

Teancum on the bench. Hoping he has a big year as the less mentioned up and comer middle.

Saxon Pryke in NSW cup side. Obviously not rated

Nephew.21yr old. I don't think he could even make the Warriors cup side tho. Ivan liked something tho so who knows.

They were saying he’s on 800k today. Surely not. Good player though.

Anyone expected to play 80 minutes every week will be on at least $500k. The top edge forwards, centres and wingers will all be on $700k+

The cap is $12M ffs. Where would it go otherwise?

Sounds like something you are assuming. If have a source or stat to prove it I would be interested in seeing. Otherwise Im putting it into recylded bin.

News reporting Storm boss met with us today and upped their offer to 300k only to us to wave it away.

About f**king time we stood up for ourselves!

For them to do this has shown their hand. We hold all the power, love it!

You need to make some assumptions to build models to try to understand the game. Otherwise your worldview is shattered when you hear Campbell Graham is on $800k or Kautoga is on $500k. It's possible to make a logical assessment based on known information (the salary cap of $12M, the average salary of $400k and the minimum salary of $140k).

Assuming your bottom 13 players average $160k, that's nearly $10M for your top 17 paid players, which is an average over $450k. If ten of those are on $4M ($400k each) that leaves $6M for the top seven players; an average of more than $850k.

If you don't like these assumptions, make your own salary cap distribution model. But post it here if you're going to shit on everyone else's. I think it's very plausible that Campbell Graham would be on $800k and I've explained how it might work. If you think it's unrealistic, show your logic. Where else could Souths' $12M have gone?
