Read Gronk's email.

We also have King and another guy.

I think we should try to shed and give the comp a crack. The blokes will be more determined

Yeah I said before: Watmerkin, Peats, Jnr and we're under.

The only caveat to all of that is whether Souths and Raiders have cap space.

He may want to continue some sort of role within rugby league but the ARLC will simply tell him to get f**ked if he tries to

Who do you support?

2016 is finished guys. U seriously think a team will offer Norman, peats, mau or IDG anywhere near market value. We'd need to shed all those guys to get near the 570k.

Unfortunately caught the end of Raaaay today, he is after the CEO Bevan Paul now, vitriolic statement on him. Wonder who will put up as a replacement, the Fitzy advertising and job application show :)

If I didn't like leeeeemons then I'd stop sucking them. For somebody who hates Raaaay so much you do listen a lot.

I reckon releasing Paulo wouldn't make a difference to our squad. He is probably on no more then $150k ( his current contract was negotiated during his debut year and he was still a second tier player in 2014). So we would have to include around $100k of his contract in our cap saving $50k, but he would have to be replaced in the top 25 with someone else. And that player would probably cost $50k in the cap, thus no benefit for us except adding a shitter player.

Well we'd be fools not to at least try to get our ducks in a row. Line up acceptable deals to gets us under the cap, then pull the trigger.

If it does not pan out then we keep everyone, plan for 2017 and structure our roster so it's 2017 compliant.

Facts are that they can't stop us from playing. Teams will be bitching that we are fielding a team that is over the cap AND that we are smashing them, but you can only play with the cards that you've been dealt with.

Have to be informed . I'm not a music sort of person, occasionally 2WS, came in after doing some gardening the boss had the radio on ironing.

I certainly don't like his opinion on our club, but that's not only what his show is about. Don't listen early as he always opens with the gospel according to his mate, didn't expect it when he was talking to the Police Minister, but he couldn't help himself

I think it's dawning on everyone that our season is over. Id prefer to play for no points this season if it meant keeping our players and restructuring contracts to make it all work doing things properly, getting our front office sorted. Dirty work now but results will come later. We don't want rash decisions re the playing group. Other clubs want us to make desperate moves now. I don't think BA will allow that.

The only thing that should e done immediately is for the 5 people implicated to stand down. They are a disgrace!!!

I think I'm probably close to this opinion also, in all respects.

According to the tele yesterday. We need 100 signatures to get an extra ord agm happening so we can vote out these clowns once and for all. Doesn't look like the 5 will go easily. How much legal costs and members money will they burn through before they leave?
