My take is that Ratu will sign a contract extension and Dawson Jones will be released similar to Jordan Thompson

I hope you're right, but as yet the club have neither confirmed or denied the Fonua deal, so let's wait and see.

I've been told we are close to bringing Fonua back, must mean either Griffin or Carlos into the pack, think either would do a good job there.

Looks like my source is right, also told be about Sao coming, so thats two good signings.

Hopefully Ma'u and a prop as well.

Looking strong for next year.

Would be impressive if we can juggle the cap space to sign all those. Team is shaping up nicely.

I think we may be utilising the marquee player ruling from what I hear.

It's about time we did a Warrington and utilized the full cap space

I’d guess that we’ll start pre season above the cap and then we’ll start loaning players out to bring it down.

It's not as simple as that, the top 25 earners count on the cap whether they play for us or not. So it depends which fringe players are in the top 25.
