Problem is who are we going to be losing to pay for these players and what other positions are going to be weakened?

Covell will be one. Williams will likely be another. Barrett may be gone. I think it is likely he'll bail myself. I think the Pom is for the door as well.

That's nearly a million bux there

Put Baz down a certainty to leave. If Flanno gets him to stay, it will be exceptional people management skills & an abslolute truck load of cash. I have no idea what Flanno is going to do if he cant get him because the market is tight & the numbers very low.

I just spoke to someone who would definitely know and we have NOT signed Dane Neilson yet . The words I was told is "He is still open to all offers ..."

I knew it. Mortz/Snowman whatever he calls himself has no inside info. Ive also been told that another Mortz special, Isaac Gordon hasnt had a big offer from Newcastle and hopes to resign with the sharks. The other players we are linked to have all been mentioned in the news or RLW.

Covell is not likely to be on much more than the bare minimum. We were very late in re-signing him and it was only a 1 year contract.

Williams I'd be surprised if he was on much more than 200k, likewise for the Pom. Either way I think we're going to have a hard time offloading the Pom, at the very least without having to pay part of his contract.

If Baz goes we should be throwing his 350k at a half. Ports/Smith/AK/Lewis is a very shallow halves pool to call on.

I think you are being very generous with your estimates Frenzy.

It will be easy to off load Pom Inferno because he is off contract. I for one actually hope we resign him. Covell would be on more than you think, around $150k I reckon. I agree we have a problem if Baz retires, who is available? I have a feeling he is going to play on.

Then you didn't do your own maths.

My guesstimates are the same as yours except for Covell who is on at least triple the bare minimum

But leave him out for a second

Pom 200
Weirdo 200
Baz 350

That's 750k plus what Cov is on = nearly a million bux as I said.

Pom is a rep player when it's all said and done. He'll get a gig.

If he's on 350k, no way he's worth upgrading. Baz has been good in his time with us, but he has certainly not proved himself a bargain buy for the money he's on.

When we resigned Williams it was just before his knee reco and he was looking like a future Origin player, having been picked for City Country etc.

I would think him on a decent wage.

We are going to be losing a few players who we no doubt paid decent coin for (Pom, Baz you would think).

We will have the space. But I think we need to lock up our BEST youngsters first.

The player is worth, what he is worth to the team at the time.
If we have a gun squad next year but no 5/8, it will be a massive mistake to not sign Baz, at ay price. Forget Kelly, he is nowhere near ready. That leaves Lewis & Ports in our squad & possibly Morris.
You are not buying the player but paying to complete the team.
Our best option now is Finch.
