Further clarification from the media manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It does not necessiarly mean Ben and Joe are going. But the salary cap forces clubs to make choices. The Roosters, as you know, have been unloading players in numbers. Other clubs hsve been affected, too.
We would like to hold onto everyone but - as I said - the salary cap means we cannot hold onto all our forwards, keep our most promising local juniors and go into the market for a quality back.
A number of people on this site have been saying for some time that our weakness is in the inside backs. We acknowledge that and we know that we have to do something about it before next season.
When the rumours began to fly tonight I spoke to Mick Leary and we agreed that the best thing to do was to state plainly the position we find ourselves in.
We are not over the salary cap but we cannot do what we need to do without making some changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So basically we can read from that, that some fowards will be going and we will be attempting to sign a quality outside back.
