I guess this just shows how hard it is to upgrade guys mid season. This is a lot of deck shuffling to save $40k.
Let's say we wanted to upgrade Maloney by another $100K this year ... We have just freed up $40k, but we'd need to offload someone earning at least $200k to get the remaining $60k of space. (you save his $100k minus the $40k you have to pay his replacement in the top 25)... and that's assuming the new guy doesn't get play NRL and starts getting match payments. The more guys you offload the more likely it becomes that a player in that 21-25 range becomes an NRL player chewing up an extra few thousand per week over the last 12 weeks.
