I was aware when Fitz signed, it's all Zod went on about.

ah, I have that particular idiot on my foes list!

So do I, Mrs B reposts his posts when he's made a prick of himself though.

So nearly everyone.

Somethings a miss with the the outgoings and incomings they don't add up to anywhere near the same wages.

Long
Fitz
Phelps
Lauaki
Dowes
Gleeson (big back loaded contract)

compared to

Heremaia
McKinnon
Ellis
Lynch
O'Carroll
Seymour

That might not be the end of the signings?

can't see a huge disparity myself, bear in mind we might be upgrading some other players too (Moa?? )

Let's hope it isn't! We could really do with a real top quality signing to start the AP era with a bang and to show that he really means business. A real top drawer centre or a big strong running SR.

Or both of course

Didn't AP hint we don't spend the full cap?

I'd be surprised if any of our new signings are on wages as big as Long and Fitz, I'd also guess Ellis and O'carroll are the lowest paid on the list.

As standee says I don't think there will be a big difference. Also, when a resource becomes more scarce, it's price rises. Unless the absence of a non-fed quota really was the dam holding back a flood of quality British youngsters, replacing like-for-like is the new trading up (love a snowclone, me).

Don't think he came outright and said it but it certainly sounded like it the way he talked about it.

He did,which would indicate there is flexibility to move around with.Lynch looks nailed on,so i would hazard a guess that a centre(aussie),will be the next priority.

depends on negotiations to release Gleeson I would imagine

Didnt the Old Board say that they always spent the full cap >?

Or was this just a big fat lie

sod the centre lol just confirm the lynch deal please so I can relax
