You are awfully repetitive..

If you spent as much time trying to understand the salary cap as you did providing status updates, you may actually provide some useful input here..
You say "you may actually provide some useful input here." lol That coming from you is a joke. lol You finally made me laugh.

Widdop and Norman are about $1.15million this year next year norman is $700K thats $450K freed up. If Norman was fullback and Dufty moved on, that means Dufty's money would also be available (I'm not advocating this) just pointing out there should be money available.

If we dont have money available then where the hell is it being used?
It most definitely has not been spent on the back 3. Norman will move to 6 next season or before if Widdop injures himself again so, not much being spent on our fullback and wingers. Aitken 400k and Lafai 450k should be dropped to reserve grade so that after a few games, they would then ask for a release. We need enough cap to buy a top line fullback if SGI are going to play Lomax at right centre.

The Turbo brothers at 2m just about solves all of our recruitment problems. Below are some figures that indicate we can buy the Turbo brothers and still have approx. 3.5m to spend on our bottom 13 positions.

1. T Turbo 1.2m
2. Pearson 100k
3. Lomax 150k
4. Sailor 100k
5. Saab 100k
6. Norman 700k
7. Hunt 900k
8. RCG 500k
9. McInnes 500k
10. Vaughan 600k
11. T Sims 400k
12. Frizell 500k
13. J Turbo 600k

14. Lawrie 250k
15. K Sims 300k
16. Leilua 200k
17. Ford 100k

Total for top 17 7m
Salary Cap for 2020 9.8m
Total left to spend under the cap 2.8m

18. Dufty 200k

19. Field 100k
20. Lafai 400k
21. Aitken 350k
22. Graham 400k

23. Maranta 100k
24. Masters 100k

25. Timm 100k
26. Latimore 200k
27. Allgood 100k

28. De Belin 550k
29. Widdop 800k
30. Robson 100k

31. Kerr 100k
32. Ravalawa 100k
Total departing players 3.7m

Jake Turbo will get 1m from Manly, why do you think he will come to us for 600K?

I like to dream of us signing the Turbo brothers, but I doubt very much it will happen and if it did, we would have to be offering Jake at least 800K a season to move to us. 1.2 for Tom would be about right and even then we still may not get his signature. Tom is the one we want, but so do many other clubs. I think Manly will keep them both and Jake will be their next captain.

Pearson isn't good enough, we should be aiming higher than him.

I doubt that Sailor will make it at centre. If he does make it in first grade, I think 5/8 would be his most likely position, with fullback the other. He does look to have a bit of game about him. He looks like a good footballer from the little I have seen of him. Some on here have said that his defence isn't up to first grade.

I think Lomax would be on at least 200K a season right now. We also should be allowing to upgrade his contract by next season.

If Saab is playing first grade, I think he will be on more than 100K, but I am not sure.

We may have to upgrade Friz next season to keep him here. If we offer him an upgraded contract starting next season, that could help keep him?

I would be surprised if Lucky is only on 200K a year. There was a bit of competition for his signature last time we signed him.

How did the Turbo Fantasy work it's way into a Jimmy Maloney thread? That's delusion of epic proportions.

Boys, do some research. There's articles on the NRL website about Manly building their club around their own "Big Three" (and no it's not Garrick, Brad Parker and Thommo) and Taufua saying the rest of the team would work in the canteen to pay the Turbo's way.

They. Are. Not. Leaving. Manly. And it's nobody's fault, not even Millward that they'll never wear the Red V.
