Summary from today's Big League:

  • Takairangi close to re-signing
  • Parra are looking for one more strike weapon out wide. Kenny-Dowall, Simona and Johnston are among the players in consideration
  • The Eels are keen on Beau Scott
None of the above is anything new or shocking although it is the first time we have been linked to SKD :)?) and Simona.

I will post the full article a bit later today when I have more time.

The outrage over our cap has already begun in the main forum.

I find it equal parts annoying and amusing but either way it is a refreshingly different position to be in compared to 2011-13.

Mention in todays SMH that Will is close to resigning until 2018 on a lower salary per year than current

I find the Scott link interesting....tough SOB but thought we weer well filled in the back row with the likes of Watough, Ma'u Moeroa Edwards

I think people forget how much of our cap was taken up by players who wereno longer playing with us.

Once we got them off our books we had a lot of extra cash to spend; then there is Jarryd's money on top of that.

We must have salary cap cash to burn right now.

Did you see on NRL360 last night they quoted a few Super League (20th Anniversary) facts. One was that at the height of the SL war the Eels fielded a team worth $11M.

FMD how much was MacCraken, Dymock, Smith and Pay on ? :crazy:

AND why TF did we not win the comp that year ? :fist:

I remember that time well. The Canterbury 4 wanted to be together. McCracken held out longest and was paid the most. I heard close to $700k. When the war ended Fitzy was quoted as saying that the best players should have a ceiling of $400k so as to curb the inflation of player payments. We adopted that policy until we pursued Steve Menzies and offered him $500k, yet he still stayed for half the price. Manly were basically broke at the time. Now that's loyaltly.

When the last of the Canterbury 4 left (Dymock in 2000) we bought a shit load of player for 2001. All solid first graders and some up and comers like Brett Hodgson. We all know now what kind of team that was. This is what this current team reminds me of. Hayne has gone yet as a team we have never looked better.

Hats off to Brad Arthur.
