Are you still confident we can replace lost first graders with quality replacements? Keeping in mind since that post of yours we have signed Momoisea, Murchie, Doorey, Hodgson, Lussick, Harper and Kelma. Also, we haven’t had a 30 man squad all year, currently at 26 or 27.
The last 4 seasons we have gone into the season with i reckon 300-400k spare in the cap and multiple spots in the top 30.
I think that's come from the salary cap saga getting caught and being compliant hence the cautious nature.
It's why we have always been linked with players mid-season to buy.
Even in 2022 when we tried to get Taupau and Klemmer in the last few days in the August window.
Then I think the previous year we had a few spots in QLD hub which we could have poached players but opted for Jake and Penisini upgrades.
Last year we got Lussick and Davey.
Does anyone know though if we don't use all the cap money for that season is that just wasted money we never get back.
What do we do with with the spare money in August once the transfer window is shut.
Do we upgrade youngsters what's the go. Do the NRL still block you front loading contracts if you have extra cash to spend.
