I know it's not possible salary cap wise but imagine getting him this season!
Wouldn’t rule us out due to salary cap, we had money for a top tier player but have not been forced into using it. Miller wasn’t on minimum wage either

You think we'd have something like 800k minimum left to spend? Serious question.

I'd have thought he was down near it, his signing was a gamble. Not like we signed a Wallabies star

Think the estimates were around $600k left that was before confirmation of cap increase so depends on what we have left after the number we were working off if ours was higher or lower etc etc. Throw in $50k extra from what Miller was on compared to if we upgrade a TT to top 30 and when we do it. So would be close, we would be outbid by dolphins so if it’s solely money then no but if it’s about playing in a top 4 team, real premiership shot after some **** years in NZ, a relationship with Fitz it’s not impossible imo.

What would we do with Will if we signed RTS?
Quite possibly play him at fullback while the failed union player watches on as a backup

(I haven't really followed RTS union career, I know he scraped into a couple All Blacks jersey but not sure how well he actually went or what kind of shape/condition he is in)

Apparently we have signed Daniel Atkinson. Think he was the Italian bloke everyone was talking about at the World Cup?
