salary cap

Is it concerning anyone else that the Eels are recruiting like crazy & have managed to re-sign the bulk of their big name players too?

I hope they know what they're doing,Parramatta are renowned for breaking salary cap rules,even if it's just the second tier cap.

Wenty will basically be a FG "leftovers" side...I'm all for depth but it's difficult to see how on earth we've managed to have all these players under the salary cap & still wanting to add Frank Pritchard to the roster

  • watmough took up 800k of the cap so far all the playera we have signed e.g. vave, brown, jennings, smith, fog, ava, all probably add up to 800k a million max and we still have forans 1 million i think we still have more in the cap

  • Pritchard on 1 yr deal and would be cheap . Cant imagine current board doing anything stupid
  • Two players not yet re-signed are Radradra and Gutherson. Rumours Semi going elsewhere but what is happening to Gutho?

    • Agree about Gutho Bug. He has come out a couple of times and stated that he wanted to make fullback his spot.
      Really hope we don't lose him.
      He has been fantastic for us
    • It's already been reported by other people on this site who are very close to the club that Gutho has every intention of extending his contract. BA has assured Gutho he wasn't brought here to play wing.
    • Gutherson is signed until end 2017 - I would expect an extension will not be announced until *NEXT YEAR*sigh

      Semi still has to face court (unless I am mistaken) so would not expect anything on him until that is done.

    • I would be resigning Gutho b4 the season starts cause if he has a blinder like I expect he will cost them a lot more
    • We did that with Semi, he had a good season so we extended his contract, then he just exploded, so he wants a upgrade straight away or he threatens to leave. Can't win, long term or not, these players want top dollar from day one. Gutho a great player but you watch Manly have a go next time, they would love him back, he has a soft spot for them, BA will hopefully make him wanna stay.
  • What im concerned about is who is going to play where?
