I’m really surprised that playing under McGregor didn’t entice Friz to take the substantial offer that Millward mentioned.....
makes you think

Im pretty certain the salary cap will go back to something like $5M-$6M for next 2 seasons or until sponsorship, tv deals are restored...i think we are in a pretty good position w so many youngsters coming through...if cap drops players will be shedded left right and centre ...will at least even out comp again...Next year the Dragons will probably be down the following players:-
Forwards
De Belin $650,000
Frizell $650,000
Graham $600,000
Lovodua $150,0003
Luke $150 000
Backs
Aitken $400,000
Lafai $500,000
Total $3,100,000
If the Salary Cap stays at around $9,800,000 we will have about a third of it to spend on a top back rower, centre, five- eighth, prop and winger.
I'm predicting the salary cap will be at best half of that figure so about 5m will be the upper limit and clubs will be expected to secure a contribution of about 2m of the cap to remain in the NRL.Next year the Dragons will probably be down the following players:-

I doubt very much that the NRL competition will continue next year , at least in its present format . I fear that the game , as in all facets of society , will take time - quite some time to recover from this unholy virus .
That’s looking at the glass half full.
Jimmy if you believe that is the case then you best be prepared to only sip the contents of that glass buddy , as in 12 months time you could very well be running on empty.
I am not being an optimist nor a pessimist , but merely attempting to be ready for the worst possible scenario.
Get some stone and wood pacific ale in your life.If the hypothetical glass contained a James Boag’s St. George or Red Ale XXX, there’s a very good chance I’ve skolled it in one attempt.
Gareth I agree and I feel the game will go Back to the Future in order to survive come 2021. Super League Wars changed our game in the past and catapulted into an era of greed and overpayment.I doubt very much that the NRL competition will continue next year , at least in its present format .

Good drop the Red Ale XXX.If the hypothetical glass contained a James Boag’s St. George or Red Ale XXX, there’s a very good chance I’ve skolled it in one attempt.
Maybe until that try he bombed against Brisbane early on.and some of his defensive readsThe player I want is Campbell Graham, great hands, fast tall and athletic and only 20. Hopefully we get Bennett and he brings with him Graham. A backline of a more developed bunch of;
1.Ramsey
2.Graham
3.Wiliame
4. Lomax
5.Saab
Looks pretty good, I would love to see Lomax used how Freddy used Tommy T in Origin in a roaming role in attack.

This crisis will return the game to some financial normality and players/clubs will have to adjust accordingly or slip away into the sunset.
I hope clubs like ours with good junior nurseries can rise with some real astute management. It’s time for real change......get prepared Dragons!
Good drop the Red Ale XXX.

He’s still 20, we aren’t getting the Fox. I reckon he will kill it once he hits his peak.Maybe until that try he bombed against Brisbane early on.and some of his defensive reads
...not on Wayne's list of favourites ATM
Swap Williame to 4 (left centre) and Lomax to 3 (right centre). Under Bennettas coach, I would chance Ramsey at fullback.The player I want is Campbell Graham, great hands, fast tall and athletic and only 20. Hopefully we get Bennett and he brings with him Graham.
