What would they cost 100k or 150k on the cap. Seems Powell days are numbered so need to safe 70kish. Especially if Lam brings his son over who would be i assume on less than Powell.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:But how do we get them in under the cap?

Even though he is 33 Benji Marshall would be worth a punt. Better than what we have now. Thurston is out of contract I think though 35 might fancy a year up here. After all if we got 200-300k for Bateman and got 400-500k for Williams given that Williams is already on a whack here. We could pay 1 player close to a million for 1 season. I know we would not do that but its an idea of the money we could offer someone for 2 years. 500k a season. Close to 750k ASD.
Or we could go for Sam Williams OOC in 2019. And if the money is right and substantial then players will come. Past has proved that.
If we are smart we let Williams go and get Luke Gale and make them an offer they will not refuse. If we have 600-700K no way Cas will refuse it. Williams is not in the same bracket as Gale atm. Williams is just a bit over hyped decent SL player.
NRL will eat him up spit him out. Bateman will struggle a bit but Sutton could go very well. But Williams lack of kicking game in terms of controlling a game is really poor and that is a no no in the NRL. If he goes he will be back quicker than Bateman and Sutton.
I have no issue in any player going for more money. But I do have real issue in a player signing a deal and 12 months later goes to the media and says he wants to go. Total disloyalty for me. And as some say look at Edwards he gets his dream job but waits a season to fulfil his contractual obligations.
Also if we had too put Faz as marquee. Think we can jiggle a player in especially if all we need is to reduce the cap by shifting a player on to marquee to give us a bit of leeway.
