Hey people my little equation on how I think we can afford Sam and Gi and have a good balanced team.
You guys can put names to my cap equation and see how you go.
The cap for 2016 is 6.8 million
2x950k = 1.9 million
3x480k = 1.440 million
10x240k = 2.4 million
4x120k = 480k
2x100k = 200k
4x80 = 380k
25 players for 6.8 million this is without third party deals.
You've only allowed for 5 guys in the squad to earn 480k or more. Sam, G.I, George, Tom, Reynolds, Keary and Sutton would all more than that.
The drop from 480k to 240k is to big. Guys like Grant,Mcqueen and AJ would all be earning in the 300s.
The numbers we come up with on forums are pure guess work but when you been around the game long enough you have some idea as to what players are earning. Doing the numbers on our squad you can start to see why we're gonna have to do a bit of surgery on our roster.
