If we are genuinely looking to sign 2-3 players for next season, I'm excited by the quality they will bring given how much cap space we actually have available...

As we are losing Martin , 2-3 players coming in should leave us challenging for the top six

We never replaced Myler either did we, who surely demanded a modest salary.

IIRC Myler's salary was used for upgrades.

I shared your optimism for the Sangare signing at the time, but that's long gone I'm afraid. I've got no problem with clearing out some of the dead wood, but my only concern is that we might go down the road of bolstering the squad with another set of journeyman, which is exactly how we ended up with the two French lads, Roberts etc. Hope we target 3 (as a minimum) signings of real quality, trim the squad size and focus on giving the likes of TNW, McCormack, Sinfield and others a proper pathway.

yeah fair doos. I'll certainly back Brad Arthurs views on this if this indeed is accurate.

So what's your grand plan? Sack the coach, sack the team, sack the board, demolish the ground, and give all the trophies to the rag and bone man?

That's quite a lot of upgrades, who got upgraded?

At the time IIRC the club claimed that the signing of Hudson was paid for by Myler's departure.

Expensive then wasn't he...

I get they arent going to give numbers out but any agent can add up that 8-10 leaving and 1 incoming = cap space.

Without context it's a confusing / misleading comment to make. I'm sure it's just the agreed upon language given its what GH has said every year he prepares for his holiday in Aus.

But I think he was vastly reduced on the cap because of the new cap rules.
