Apparently when NAS plays they have a win rate of 16-2 or something insane

I don’t think he’s a good fit but that win ratio is tempting, though they’d probably keep him since their year has been a bit wobbly so far
 
Can you explain what you mean in more detail? We need 30 players in a Top 30, we currently have 28 and need to spend at least 97.5% of the salary cap so why would we need any type of dispensation?
A Good point, I hadn't realized we didn't have 30 yet. Though it's a bit shit we'll only have 29 available if 2 are promoted with Barnett out. I can't see us signing anyone from elsewhere for the rest of the season .
 
I struggled to work out the rationale for Setu Tu's upgrade to the top 30 last year.

My take is if a player becomes available we want, the very cheap 30th player who was not going to be renewed the following season can be bought out and sent away early. There are no losers in this situation.

I'd guess that the final spots will go to players we are likely to terminate next year.

Massive shout out to the club for tying up our young guys early before they get massive offers to lure them away.

Cameron George's phone must actually be running hot. What young gun wanting to make a name for himself wouldn't want to be coached by Webby and surrounded by these young guys that are going to be the cornerstone of our club for years? Playmakers, hookers and outside backs especially. This is a club that is going places if things continue their trajectory.

Ya that’s why I am relaxed about Metcalf, Webby can turn others into superstars if needed, he upgraded Barney, Ford, Pompey, Clark etc

Hope they have a plan for post Fish/Barney
