managing the cap

Posted by The Offside Eel on December 13, 2015 at 9:44pm

I got to say despite some of the sky is falling comments about not signing hiku,lafai,roberts.I'm very pleased that were not getting into a bidding war over these guys than over spending and loosing out on player retention later on.It means we have a bit of cap room next year so if we do get struck down by injuries we can call players up without getting into the mess we were this year wear we had to get a exception to get Nelson on the field. Than dropped like how buretta had to play at wenty when we needed him in firsts.The administration is learning we have depth and flexibility next year and if needed the money to make a mid season buy.I'm on the unicorn juice early this year but my hopes are high.

Peats should be in the run on side and as much as I like IDG and the commitment he has shown the Eels he just doesn't have the legs anymore, I am not sure who and/or if peats should be subbed with.

Watmough and Scott shouldnt be on the field at the same time, they should be rotated accordingly throughout the games to provided that never ending steel/resolve the can provide when it gets tough whilst still having an impact in the times they are on the field

Id have Kaysa over Peats and Tepai and Alvaro over Gower and Pauli

Stevo i agree with the Scott / Watmough idea. Start Tepai on the right side and let Scott and Watmough roam while defending at lock.
