You forget that the problem at the Dogs were backended contracts. So whilst a player might have been worth $500k his backended contract value for 2019 was $800k.

When contract is finished its over. Morris x 2 and Eastwood who contract apparently backended is now finished.
Sure they are more then likely chipping in for Mbye and Woods. But I highly doubt they are paying 500k each or anthing silly like that. Id imagine they paid a fair chunk for this year and perhaps the 200k each at most for each.

Toohey's News | Newcastle Knights target Eels centre Michael Jennings and Dragons utility Kurt Mann
BARRY TOOHEYOctober 6 2018 - 1:00PM
Knights coach Nathan Brown is understood to have met with either the players directly or their managers within the past week with both believed to be open to making the move north.

And we have also been told that Brisbane winger Corey Oates, who is yet to re-sign with Brisbane, could be another on the radar as well.

The sticking point with Jennings and Mann is they are under contract to their respective clubs for another season but there is a strong chance both could be released.
The Eels are desperate to off-load players to create some cap space and Jennings is said to be on around $800,000 next season. Negotiations with the Knights would only get serious if Parramatta was willing to chip in around half that figure.

The Knights have also shown some interest in another Eels outside back, Bevan French.”

Again I don't beleive MJ is on 800k. And if is could we find as a good replacement for 400k if we chipped that much in? More then likely yes.But not a whole lot better. Id roll dice and keep MJ if its costing us 400k

Has he re-signed? Only asking as I’ve seen his name in the “coming off contract” list on a few sites.
Those sites don't have inside info. They are just going off the fact there has never been a signing/re-signing announcement from the club about Reed Mahoney, just as there has been no announcement about Lane, Terepo, Niukore, Gennings, Pritchard, Gower or anyone under 22 (apart from Salmon).

Confirmed signings are Paulo and Ferguson. The only confirmed re-signings are Alvaro and Brown.

Didn't Corey Oates confirm he has resigned with the Bronx and say that he was playing funny buggers with the media all this time?

Yes but there is such a thing a repudiation of contract. So if a party is seamingly playing hardball to enforce a contract, they can hardly be seen to be looking to break the deal themselves. So whilst managers may very well be negotiating in the background, publicly the club must seem steadfast.
What a load of bullshit
