Dolphins I’ve read still have 2 mil of their cap available for this year. Didn’t think that was allowed or do they have an exemption due to being a new club

Wighton for 700k. Keep dreaming mate.
Wighton is on 850k atm with next year bumping up to 1 mil. Yeah no way he’s going anywhere for 700k unless it’s the roosters who could probably offer him 500k plus a 2 million dollar house and a boat 😂

Dare to dream.
Always worth throwing him the offer, along with a pitch of where we see him fitting into the team & where ww believe he takes us.
Other teams manage to sign players for unders on the pretence of winning premierships, so why not us

What's the worst that can happen - he says no?
And we piss off his manager who then becomes a massive headache for us for trying to 'rip him off'... I mean Wighton, he'd care about Wighton not himself...

He's got a $1m p/a waiting for him at Raiders. He's not going to market to see if he can get $300k less. Bidding would begin at $1m+
Could be a Chad situation. Has a 1 year option at X but if can get a multi-year deal it may end up better for him - even if some of those years he is making less than what the "1 year at great money" option was.

Fair call mate. 4 year deal at 850k maybe.

However I think clubs like the dolphins will offer 4 years a 1 mil a year maybe more.

That was my thought, too. A few years elsewhere could be a very attractive deal

Union just paid $1.6m for a winger. Managers must be marking their cattle up as we speak
Between this, the cap increase and the halves market going crazy for Moses, it's mayhem at the moment.

If we manage to continue our re-signing efforts without getting sucked into any management games it will be some feat.

Even just signing Nicho for a mil when worse players are getting a 30% mark up would be incredible.

I just saw that. I can see why they would. They need to just win games to be more attractive to players. Can't see anybody else of note going there at the moment.
Thought there was a patch last season the looked okay with Hastings at 7 and Brooks at 6. Maybe Pearce 7 Brooks 6 Doueihi 1 could work for them.

Honestly, can’t get any worse can they
