Surely matai doesn't cost much anyway?
I'm sure the form center of the competition is cheap, so too an NSW backrower that Melbourne desperately wanted to keep

Most of those are a few years ago, was it not reported that Locke has been squeezed out due to the cost of Sam Tomkins causing salary cap constraints? But since then the Warriors have been able to add Hoffman and now supposedly Matai as well as numerous upgrades
I'd imagine the Raiders would have to pay a fair bit to sign him for sure.Surely matai doesn't cost much anyway?

Souths fan questioning the Warriors cap. Funny stuff.
I agree. Sio is no star but he is a good first grader. Good get for any club.
If Sio does go it is worth mentioning (before the DT gets in with their inevitable 'Another Parra junior lost' line) that we are in the perfect position to cover and likely upgrade on him internally.
You should see our off contract list for next season. 15 odd players, the majority of them first graders.
These "upgrades" are actually the club taking up options such as extending Ikahihifo for next year and Hurrell until 2016 so they're not paying a significant amount of extra money if any at all.
We've re-signed Johnson, Lillyman, Mannering this season, but outside of that it's guys like Fusitua (before he made his debut) Lolohea (yet to make his debut) etc. Hardly guys who would push the cap to its limits.
I'd imagine the Raiders would have to pay a fair bit to sign him for sure.
No as I said, in the past two seasons. Within the last 24 months. Within the last 104 weeks. Within the last 730 days.
Do you need it in another language?
:lol:
I'm sure Glenn Stewart, Tim Grant are on 2nd tier deals.

Pretty clearly if Matai were to come - Nielson would be gone. Peyroux not resigned.
plus money free'd up from Ropati's release.
The Souths 2013 squad was by far more dubious then a potential Warriors squad for 2015.
The only major signings Souths have made in a few years, and why? Because Sam Burgess and Jeff Lima left. With Ben Teo now leaving too.
Usually when players come in, others of equivelant value have to go out. Clearly not happening at the Warriors. Love you guys in here trying to explain how average players like Ropati and Bill Tupou are freeing up the space for star signings :lol:

Just when you thought the argument couldn't become any more ridiculous :lol:
