Also gives us some cover if Su'a doesnt re-sign.

I think SuA signing is now the risk..as we have just increased his price by paying this much for LL.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

you would suspect front loading is still allowable if you are forced to meet the salary cap each year

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

so who is being paid out or exiting our top30 ?

You would assume Allan and/or Russell

 

[SaintPeter]

This is great news !!!
But, we MUST keep SuA.
Come on Saints make it happen.

 

[Hound of Dracula]

You would assume Allan and/or Russell

If both had two functioning legs, you'd say Russell.
But Allan will have zero input 2024 anyway.

Can't we drop Allan for 2024 (we must pay him anyway) and keep him around with a view to a potential new contract 2025? (Depending upon new recruitments - if any.)

Long term I'd take a fit Allan over a fit Russell.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

walker ?

 

[Nanadragon]

Read the article and do the math .. we are paying him around 700 per year

And only 500 for this year apparently.

I like Liddle. He's a natural orator ....er ... I mean .... footy player.

 

[Parko1310]

Report by Carayannis per Red V Podcast socials: the Dragons will pay an average of less than 700k per season for Luciano Leilua. With his former club coughing up 400k this season and contributing to his deal next season.

The Dragons, flush with cap room, will continue chasing teammates Luki and Finefeuiaki.

Loving the LL signing. Great to have him back at what seems to be a good deal for us

Flanno and co have done very well

Very happy Dragons supporter here

 

[Gardenia]

Lucky he wasn't one in the 90's.

Yes indeed. I need to sit him down and explain to him that you need to feel the pain to really appreciate the glory when it comes

 

[Gardenia]

Condolences Gardenia. , it’s hard when one of your kids goes off the rails

LOL Yes, need to sit him down and explain to him that you need to feel the pain to really appreciate the glory when it comes.

But I really really want him to re-sign

@randomdragon

mate is this true the below re $30k a game in NSW Cup and or Qld Cup ????

seems outrageous vs TT and the Sal Cap ????

"Pangai jnr has held preliminary talks with the Broncos, who are open to keeping salary cap space and a roster spot free for him pending his form and fitness.
Any deal would need the NRL’s salary cap auditor to approve a nominal value for Pangai jnr’s signing, which would likely be based on his most recent $750,000 salary and potentially break down to just under $30,000 per game."
