Bet it took a dozen takes to get that video right!

Yeah - no footage of him practicing catching bombs!!!

This salary cap crap is going to stuff up 2020. But I think it might be clean out time.

 

[AJB1102]

Manly I don't think suffered too much from a similar cap reduction. Bludger in 2018 but back in 2019 and I'd attribute 2018 to Barrett.

Injuries ultimately got the best of them and you could obviously argue another $350k on their cap could've improved their depth and ability to cover some of those better but it wasn't gonna cover no Tom Turbo in finals.

I don't see our cap reduction as much of an excuse. Certainly isn't our biggest cap problem; prima donnas on big coin to play a handful of iffy games before another heartstrings strain is our problem.

Capwell gone:

https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/11/25/capewell-heads-west-to-panthers-on-two-year-deal/

Penrith have scored a major signings coup by luring fringe Origin utility Kurt Capewell to the club on a two-year deal.

NRL.com first reported on Friday that Penrith were the frontrunners for his signature and the 26-year-old utility forward joined the Panthers on Monday from Cronulla, where he made his NRL debut during the club’s premiership-winning 2016 season.

Shame Capewell's gone, victim of his own versatility...Nikora was great first half of the year but when he started waning thought Capewell should have started. He'll go great at Penrith with an edge to own.

 

[carcharias]

I liked capewell
Bit of a pommeroy larrikin and just as clumsy.

 

[AJB1102]

He'll go great at Penrith with an edge to own.

What edge? Not Kikau's and I doubt he takes Yeo's either.

Pretty much in the same position he was here just on better money I'd say.

Unfortunate about Capewell. he never made a spot his own.
He would have been handy but we just didn't have the resources to keep him.
Also, Teig Wilton would have gone to Souths had we kept him so I think we did the right thing.
I don't see Capewell getting better, whilst Wilton is one of the biggest prospects in the game.

Smart call.

Totally agree.

Capewell was a great Clubman and a very handy utility player no doubt.

But I think the Club made the right call as I don’t see much upside in him now and basically he is a squad player. Teig Wilton on the other hand does have upside and will be a better player to back to be more valuable to the Club in coming years.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

yeah, potential. What a contract clincher.

 

[southland]

Prior next.

surely we must be cap compliant after Prior goes to Super League?

 

[snout]

Glanville from the cowboys?
They want to squeeze him out for latrell.

Could he recapture previous form with a new club?
Because we have no hooker

Isn't Granville about 33 yrs old now? His asset was his speed which he seems to have lost.

What was Prior on?

That looks the most likely unless we offload someone else.

Atleast for Rd 1, Rd 2 Moylan is out with a hammy and or heartilage strain

 

[Mr Angry]

Teig Wilton.

Great news, Phil Gould sponsorship comes through for the sharks.

@Frenzy. will be happy.

Been a good apprentice hope he becomes the quailty tradesman.
