Do we have any cash left?

After the announcement of 5 new faces to join the 2015 Parramatta eels and the upgrading / resigning of other players, do we have any cash left? I would have thought that after losing Hayne and a bunch of other players in Fui, Smith, Tonga, Sio etc that we should still have a fair bit of cash left over. Do we still have any left over cash to be chasing a player like Foran for 2015 or front loading for 2016? Or have we now seen what our 2015 lineup will be?

  • I think we would have heaps. Most of these signings were coming when hayne was still here. Unless of course the club knew for a while hayne was going.
    • If the Club knew Hayne was leaving would we have not kept Sio? Of all the players at the Eels he would've appeared the most likely to play FB. Although that's not to say he'd have made a great number one.

  • IMO we should have plenty of cash left, the money freed up by Fui, Smith, Tonga, Sio, Loko and Tanginoa should be more than enough to cover our new signings. There would have been some of Hayne's money used to upgrade and re-sign some of our players, but I would be surprised if there wasn't some money left. Also we are no longer paying for players at other clubs and Takairangi is being subsidised by the Tigers.
  • Just guessing, but wouldn't all of our recent signings (with the exception of Takairangi which presented itself later) be players we would have known we needed way before the plane departure and be players we could afford also based on whom we let go anyway.

    Maybe there is one more to come with the Hayne money. 

  • FORAN wont be chased for 2015.maybe 2016. They will probably forward load some contracts so that they can have a crack at him for 2016
  • We need better than Kelly as a backup half
    • Your joking right?

  • a half with 1st grade experience and content to play reggies is a valuable commodity.

    • We never got the chance to see Kelly/ Sandow combo either. 

      Reckon that would have been more exciting than Norman/ Kelly combo though

  • lets not throw matterson to the wolves too early. we dont want a repeat of Dan Mortimer.
