So, normally we get linked to players and they sign somewhere else because whats actually happened is that the manager has used us to put up the players price.
Given that we have so many players (some would call star players, but regardless they are our most expensive) I would have thought its less believable this year. I mean given how many we have off contract why would you think we would be in the market.
And yet in the last say month, we are linked to McQueen, Matulino and Kane Evans apparently.
The salary cap announcement was disappointing according to the players, and I saw something today saying some teams will have to offload on contract players for next year.
Its really quite strange whats going on - we have Pascoe pretty much saying, if you idiots dont want to sign, leave. At the same time, hes taken contracts off the table (presumably to revise salaries).
Im quietly confident we are going to get through this. For the first time since we merged.
There is also an article out there saying Cleary tried to get Nofo when he was last off contract - so all you Nofo lovers should be a little more relaxed.
Something is cooking and for once, I dont think its beans on toast.
