Let's think about it..

Piggy (300K)
Finch(220K),
Wags(150K)
Timmy(180K)

With 850K, go out and buy

Trent Barrett 350K
Jason Cayless 300K
And one other solid prop worth 200K

The following year, we would have a salary cap review and could then re-assess who to keep and who to offload (a bit like the roosters with Topou).
Comon Fitzy & Hages, let's start looking outside the box and show some balls!

Totally agree, we have to make the hard decisions, Barret, Jay Cayless, Hannant etc would be great for our club.

Hannatt would be a good buy for around 200k, Jay Cay i'd love to see him back at Parra. Won't happen though.

Jay Cay is on something Stupid like 500K in the UK, and Barrett is on what 800K. please.

Also your numbers are Way wrong on the salaries. At least from an exercise I went through with Tony Zappia last year.

Barrett is looking at coming back from the UK - so he could definitely fit in somewhere. No club is going to spend more than 400K for a player!!!!
Cayless will wear the blue and gold again one day - trust me!!!

No-one can tell me Finch and Piggy aint on atleast 500K between them, I don't care what Zappia told you - that has to be a lie!

Barrett won't come to Parra, I mean who would?
We don't have a winning culture.
We don't have a killer forward pack.
Hard to get a good playmaker who would want to play behind our pack.
Kimmorley might, he doesn't seem fussy where he plays.

f**k - I know I'm not far off the mark that's for sure.
Piggy is a coin digger - there's no way he's playing for less than 280K.
As soon as it's mentioned there may be a slight pay cut of 20-30K, yep... he's c u later aligator! Aparantly, he hit the roof when told he was going to have to take a pay cut!

i dotn know how much they are all on but atleast 600K. Timmy would have been on about 180, wags probably no more than 100. Riddell 250, Finch 200. That all up is a guess but you have to discount wagz because they knew he was gone. They never were going to keep Finch, Riddell and Smith. SO relay that leave us with 500k tops.

Barrett would come for that, Prince might when is he offcontract. That would be my aim, he is a player that would suit us. Structure, Flair and a brain. Something parramatta have missed for years.

Yep - and with the likes of Hodgkinson, Mannah, Bauman and Williams tied up, we have enough juniors coming through to cover piggy and finch. It's just a matter of attracting 1 or 2 premiership quality players.

Well i just thought of something... we will get cap relef for smith that would be lets say 180. Walk up to Mr Hayne, Hindy or Cayless. How would u like 180 now instead of next year. That is 180 from nest years cap then you could relay add 450K if Riddell and Finch leave. all up you would looking at $600k+ and that would be enough to entice most players.

AND
Barrett is not past it, i would have him in the 7 above any other NSW player
Prince is human and would come for money
So would Thurston

It is about time parramatta bought a player or 2, we have developed 1-17 why cant we buy a #7 when Melbourne, Manly and Sydney (+ Rabbits) buy 1-17 exculsivly

Exactly. This is called stimulating your salary cap or commonly know as the roosters Rort. You pay everyone a good deal of cash in Years 1 and 2, then years 3 release 4-5 players in one hit on the reliance of a few younger juniors coming through. This almost worked for the roosters in 06 and 07. The rooster aren't rorting the cap, they are simply the administartive atreprenuers of the competition.

Sorry I just can't bear the thought of Barrett at Parra..... it won't happen but just thinking about it gives me the shivers.... like Hindy in a maroon jersey :eek:

Prince is a coastie isn't he?? it would take more than money the way they are going atm and I'm pretty sure he was always going on about being near his family when he signed with them.

I'd rather we target a fit, agro but controlled front rower like Bailey or Chief or Spud Carroll were.

If Tim Mannah fits that then great.

You'll never sell me on Barrett though.

Totally agree, and the bulldogs are the next best, last years side and before were magnificant sides.

Have to agree to disagree on that one, i reckon Barrett would be a brillant buy for us and compliment Mateo etc greatly.
