Keating is off contract at the end of 2014, not this year. Halatau and Turner just signed extensions last year that will likely see out their NRL careers and would not have been close to the value of when they first signed, none would be at 200k. Same goes for Payne who,was average and was already pushed out because of your cap issues.
You clearly forget that Inu and Perrett come into full contract value now, hence Payne being nudged out early, while Klemmer and Josh Reynolds will be due for contract upgrades (especially Reynolds if the plan is to get rid of some halfbacks)
In reality, some of those players will go but not all of them. You would be very hard pressed to get 1.4 million out of the off contract players. I can see Folau or Thurston, but not both.
1. Keating is off contract this year, he re-signed on a 1 year with 1 year in the clubs favour. I suggest you stick with your clubs news, your obviously not up to date with the dogs.
2. Turner & Halatau would not of stayed for peanuts. Both were playing great football before being injured last year and would of been able to go to ESL or another club in the NRL for a 200k deal easily. Don't let your argument ruin the facts there.
3. We have no cap issues, Payne retired due to the great options he has, never was it said we have cap issues. You might not like it, though the Dogs have just as much of a cap increase as every other club so we have money in the cap for this year already.
4. Inu signed a long deal when joining he was unwanted and playing horrible, he would not be on big money. The fact he's turned it around with Des doesn't mean all of a sudden he's paid big money.
5. If all those players did leave it would be well over 1.4mil without even taking in the cap increase of 2013 OR 2014. The cap for 2013 increase is still unused and could be used smartly to frontload contracts and help clear room for 2014. This is likely what will happen with Reynolds e.g his small contract is upgraded including this year so therefor is paid less over the coming years. Then you have 3rd party which someone like JT would get max available through Dogs.
6. I never said they will get both, hell they might not get either though the fact is they have plenty of money and could do so.
