near the end, intrestingly also being reported Inglis maybe going to Brisbane which is interesting considering they were getting rid of 8 or 10 players to keep their 'top 4'

Is it 3 dollars to the pound, in which case they look pretty cheap? Half of Feca's salary?
I think these would go a long way to taking us that extra step forward. If we re-sign Hock, I would be interested to see how brave Wire would be against Lima, McIll, Coley, Hock, Hoffman and Lockers. I am guessing Briers would find a reason to go MIA that day.

just worked out the currency

Lima $275,000 = £156,000
Hoffman $250,000 = £142,000
Finch $250,00 = £142,000

i dont know if its the current currency or if those wages are good compared to other current players but it all sound good at the minute.

i think the wages that will definitely become available are Phelps, Bailey, Feka and Riddell so there should be room
