I also dont get a sense we are cutting back for 2025, Asiata, Sezer and Rapana wont have been the cheapest options out there.

Nope wouldn’t say cutting back but I don’t buy that we’re spending ‘promised’ money or anything like that like the rumour in the post I quoted. We look to have assembled a mid table squad on paper IMO. If we make the play offs it will be an overachievement if we finish bottom 2 again an underachievement, you’d hope the wage bill would reflect that there or thereabouts.
For a start players contracts don’t start until November anyways maybe whatever investment is coming might be sorted by then anyway. Fair enough Rapana and Asiata will be top level earners, but we’ve completely overhauled the squad and moved on our all of our biggest earners you’d imagine, Carlos, Trueman and maybe even the likes of Sutcliffe was quite a high profile signing when announced. They talked about getting value from the cap and I think Myler looks to have done that better than previous seasons. Certainly don’t think we’ve been splashing the cash about as suggested, maybe if the Lam deal came off with figures quoted then I’d be a bit worried the longer we went on with no announcement on investment and the Covid loans etc.
