Out:

Weston
Tonga?

In:

Goodwin
Mortimer?

How many spaces do we have, 7?

Drinkwater
Brown
Burr
Stewart
Vea

I would try get bout Stewart he on 130 grand a year in my opinion he stealing a living there better out there for that type of money

Monty, I wouldn't say he is stealing a living, he had a decent game against Wigan, but I agree we can get a better player for his money he is on, trouble is he is contracted for 2018.

Still counts on quota as non-fed I believe

He not a stand out player when he not playing we not missed him that's why he come cause was offered two year deal and everyone else was offering one there a few in team the coaches are doing best get rid of the handful of players

My understanding was that although he is non-federation he is not counted on the quota. I may be wrong though as I'm not 100% certain.

7 non fed spots. Only 5 I think can be Oz and Nz

Watched Stewart closely. He has been organising both the attack and defence. He does a lot without being spectacular. Always in the top two in the tackle count. I'd rather have him in my team than against my team.

By the way, we can't just pay players off to get rid of them. All contracts that are "paid off" count towards the salary cap.

Very clever player.

Are you sure? Would Drinkwater be German & Vea Tongan, is that how we get around it?

Surely that can't be right?

Mookie Chaka Khan has forgotten Cory *I forgot Mitch* so contracted for 2018 are -

Paterson
Stewart
Brown
Drinky
Vea
Pellisier
Maria
Goodwin

+ Mortimer would be (9)

How on Earth is that going to fit ?

Do Pellisier & Maria not count as they are Europeans ?

Its quite obvious,we have quota spot players leaving prior to the end of their contracts.Or it just wouldn't happen,would it!

Well, we know that Dayne has announced his retirement & that Tonga's contract will expire & not be renewed, but I have already discounted them.

Unless the 2 Frenchmen don't count *being Europeans* then someone has to leave by other means !

*Disclaimer* I am not fully sure of the quota rules*

Well if an NRL stand-off is due in before the 8's,the only way to accommodate that is to pay Tonga a couple of months wages owed.Same with Dayne his retirement might be before the end of the season..
