Player Retention: 2016

[Shaun Hewitt]

I don't know how Trent Hodkinson (7/6) is worth more than Daly Cherry-Evans but anyways....
.

Less chance of a backflip :sarcasm:

 

[Drew-Sta]

I have to say it's quite strange. A guy that has a 5 gk for whatever reason is never going to kick goals, but he's worth heaps more than someone that lucked out and got a 1.

Errr, DCE is worth $633k, Hodko is worth $536k. DCE has 6 GK, 8 general play kick. Hodko has 9 for both, which balances his lower at/df but still see's him as less valuable than DCE.

 

[Misanthrope]

Has everyone seen the new salaries yet? Or is it just Drew and I?

 

[Drew-Sta]

... I thought Goldy published them?

If not then I totally understand alfie's confusion :lol:

 

[pennywisealfie]

I'm looking at the one from the link on the first post.

 

[Goldthorpe]

I'll just email it out after dinner, if you like. Probably easier.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Yeah, no worries. I was going to update the rosters with everyone's details as well.

 

[pennywisealfie]

I found the salaries, with who I have kept and how much cap space we have (10.5million?) I worked out that it's impossible for me to have a squad of 29.

I will have around 4,263,250 cap space remaining to pick up 16 players. Which means that I will have to pick players with the average salary of $266,453. However, the lowest salary that I can see in the salary database for any player is $275,000.

 

[Misanthrope]

I believe the one posted here earlier was just an example. It didn't include all of the players.

I'll check the other one before I send it.

 

[Misanthrope]

Alright, everybody should have the updated salaries in their inbox now. If you didn't get them, post your email address here so Goldy can hook you up.

I'll be in transit for most of the next 24 hours, so won't be online.

 

[Misanthrope]

He Who Shall Not Be Named will be emailing his retentions to Drew or I to post :lol:

 

[HappyBadger]

No changes announced from Moises Lucarelli...

"...picking based solely on salary doesn't make any sense..." Billy Goats' boss Theo sighed, "...one must pick some of one's thirteen based on the quality of the player, regardless of how badly the ASRL ratings gods have slandered one of the best halves in FFBRL...so the thirteen players I originally chose to retain, there's no basis for me to change those players, even though the salaries' situation, both individually and league-wide, have..."

 

[HappyBadger]

A reminder of Ponte Preta's retentions:

A long evening at Moises Lucarelli, as Ponte Preta manager Theo K talked with his players, consoling a few that didn't want to leave (and being consoled by a couple that he didn't want to let go)...

...but, the defending Grand Finalists surprised the FFBRL by selecting 13 players that cost about half of the Billy Goats' salary cap:

Aaron Woods
Anthony Gelling
Daly Cherry-Evans
Daniel Tupou
Daryl Clark
John Bateman
Josh Hodgson
Konrad Hurrell
Liam Farrell
Michael Morgan
Ryan Hoffman
Stefan Ratchford
Zeb Taia

The released (some, hopefully, temporarily) players:

Andy Lynch
Ben Cockayne
Ben Westwood
Dan Sarginson
Gareth O'Brein
Jonny Lomax
Jorge Taufua
Keith Galloway
Kieran Dixon
Kris Welham
Lee Gaskell
Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Rhys Evans
Sean O'Loughlin
Willie Manu

More later...

[pennywisealfie]

There's a potential trade, just waiting for confirmation from Goldthorpe.

 

[mickyj]

I can't see me off loading Milford but feel free to make an offer.

On the Milford subject shouldn't he be a 6 now?

 

[Drew-Sta]

Mine stay the same.

PERTH, WA. -- The Perth Reds have strengthened their already strong forward pack by acquiring Matthew Scott and Josh McGuire from Roma Vandali.

Perth made its trade of Ben Hunt to the Roma Vandali official Friday. All that's left is for Scott and McGuire to pass a physical and the paperwork to be filed with the league.

That business is expected to be finished by close of business Friday afternoon.

Due to the trade the Perth Reds have changed their 13 retained players for season 2016.

Benji Marshall
Dylan Napa
Elijah Taylor
Issac Luke
Jake Friend
Jesse Bromwich
Josh McGuire
Josh Papalii
Kallum Watkins
Matthew Scott
Shaun Kenny-Dowell
Simon Mannering
Tyson Frizzel

The have also put Josh Papalii and Tyson Frizzel on the trade table, if anyone is interested please PM me or email at aj.winder@hotmail.com

We are current looking for explosive outside backs and willing to do 2 for 1 trades.

Roma to confirm publicly.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Quohogs to stay the same.

If people alter/post their 13 up can you also post the releases - gives us something to mull over until draft.

PS, It will be interesting to see how many teams can fill their 29 spots. Looks like most are near half the allocated cap with 13 and need another 16 players to squeeze in
