"I'm not suggesting throwing Lorenzo or any other young player in there now, they aren't ready, my point is they still won't be ready for a start in 2027 either so are we going to sign another 1 year stop gap 6 for 2027?."
"Thanks KN/ EA. Just checking my gut feeling. Hopefully, he stays & makes good on his potential. I like his upside: footy nous, big body, kicking game, goal-kicker. Ain't many sixes offering all that. He's called by many in RU as a "Sua'ali'i clone…"
"Rasati might find his path to NRL replacing Russell or Penisini.
Do you see Talataina as the better talent and the must keep if only keep 1 EA?"

Actually 11 clubs is bad news for us, thats enough for the NRL to take the weak option and have an amnesty for next season. and then in 2019 have a set amount for the clubs to work for. And us doing the right thing to get screwed over again.
I find the number 11 a bit exaggerated however clubs only have themselves to blame.
You can't spend money you haven't been told you will have so can't see how nrl can be held responsible.
This is disaster for the game though which could see players and clubs lodging lawsuits, and will be players that lose in long run. Clubs will argue they couldn't honour player contract due to nrl but nrl are clear of responsibility as they never told club to spend more then current cap. Will be dragged tough court before player gets paid. Some clubs already struggling pay wages on time.
1 option is Clubs may have pay out contracts for players not playing for them which nrl will then have to exempt from the cap or take from following years cap making it a 2 year cap period.
Either way clubs who abided by rules in place will be punished due to mob mentality - if lots of clubs spent more then cap nrl will have raise it.
Nrl should have put stop to clubs signing players as soon as value of contracts exceeded cap with threat of huge fines on top of losing players or points.
Bad administration from nrl to allow situation and worse administration by clubs spending over non existent budget.
It was pretty much a major screw-up from everyone involved.
Well, at least we know we're not one of them!
