Rumours and Stuff

[TheRam]

Fair enough on the very cheap but I'd consider $250k - $300k as close to throwing the bank at a winger.

I think that with the salary cap being where it is now that you will find that that is on the lower side for a regular 1st grade player. Especially one that potentially can be in the top metres gained and tackle bust in the comp.

But like I said, if no one else is offering, then we may have an opportunity to get him at a steal.

Jorge Taufua is still unsigned, at the right price I would see if he's interested. Around that $250-$300k mark.

These are some of my favourite types to recruit. Very cheap, but heaps of up side if they pull their finger out. Like I said I wouldn't be throwing the bank at the guy.

Really??

The cap is $7mill. If you were to simply divide by 25, the result would be 280k average. However the top 5 players from each club most likely take half the cap by themselves, assuming the bottom 5 are on the minimum, you're left with 200k per head for the middle 15 guys. Most of those guys are in the 150-300 range so that you can squeeze in another 400-450 guy or 2.

250-300 is a huge salary for a winger.

I don't reckon Tafua these days is better than Toutai! And at least Toutai tries hard when he gets his chances, not saying he is a gun but he gives it his best.

On a side note Tafua is a total thug off the field.

Has anyone heard about Ben Hunt coming for 2017 apart from what was on Facebook?

No. Just FB crap at this stage me thinks.

Rammy is just using Bronco dollars, doesn't translate well over to other teams though.

I've been told we have met with his management.

Toutai can also cover wing and centre. Much better option than Taufua who is an out and out winger.

The mean top 25 salary is just over $250k but with the top half dozen players on salaries of $500k or more, that leaves a lot less for the rest of your squad.

According to one of the TCT guys, it was the Broncos who approached us to see if we were interested in taking Hunt. They obviously have someone in their sights and need cap room

Take him off the Broncos books? Awesome, he is probably only 150k according to that.

Agreed.

RIP to an absolute legend of the game.

 

[Twizzle]
