Morrison must have been one of the higher earners, and him leaving frees up a fair bit of money. Assuming that we lose Tadulala, Jeffries, Cook, and perhaps one or two other fringe player, plus the money saved on Newton and Tupou that must add up to a decent amount.
So far we are only confirmed to be bringing in Glenn Hall and Heath L'Estrange. If L'Estrange is on roughly what Newton was on, and Hall is on the same (or even a bit less) as Tupou that still leaves a fair amount of slack for new signings.
In short, I think we will sign several more players. Now, whether those are going to be players like Thorman or - please no - Ryan Bailey... or whether we will sign genuine quality, well we will have to see....'"
dont forget solomona going as well, and he was on a fair old wedge, we should have loads of cap to be spending on new players next year.

This maybe true, but, if the club wants to continue to post a profit or break even, we will need the crowds to increase if we are going to spend to the full cap.

...although folk do need to remember that a lot of the trick is down to how you structure packages, and what is allowed within the prevailing tax and SC rules. I rather suspect that was why Iestyn leaving did not appear to free up the sort of cap space some people assumed it would.
But yes, when you think of the cost of Solomona, Morrison (sadly for too much of the time) and Tupou (presumably till he went) sat in the stands, and Terry must have been on a decent package, then you can only assume we must have some scope now. I suspect it won't be quite as much as some folk think though, given the upgrading of some contracts that has already taken place.

What he said.
Remember, we have to at least break even in cash terms. Too few bodies through the turnstiles means economies somewhere, and they have already pared the non-playing staff to the bone. A point that seems lost on some of those who say they won't bother going until the performances improve...

| Hooray!!!
In the Craig Wing article on the T&A site it says that Macnamara has strongly denied any interest in Thorman and that Brough could be a target for the bulls.
It does look like they realise the need for a classy half back hence the reason Jefferies is probably going and they are moving to spend some cash.
Also with regards to the much lamented backline don't forget we've not been able to see Crookes this season.

Yes, it will almost be like having a new player next season. If Crookes can get a good pre-season under his belt and come out firing at the start of next season it will interesting to see what he can bring to the team...

| I think he's just had a bad season, still probably one of the best play makers in the game. I'd love to see him partner Paul Deacon in the halves for 2010, finally we may be able to mount a challenge for the title again!

That's an interesting first post. I suspect many on here will be hoping that's a wind-up, and not a clandestine club post to prime us for what's to come next season? I must admit it would be hard for me to get excited about that combination, to put it mildly.

| Yes an interesting first post from Mr Turner
That said, it is nonetheless true that Thorman has had a bit of a mare this season, apart from when Hull played us and he was excellent...grrrr!! But we need to remember that he actually was a decent player a couple of years ago at Huddersfield, and - if I remember right - was on the fringes or even part of the International set up.
If - and it [iis[/i a massive 'if' - he can recapture that form...well.. who knows??

| Why would Brough go to a club that is worst than the one he is already at? It would be a backwards step for him!

No problem, he has form for it, his last move was a very backwards step winding up at your place.

"Now" is so last-year. We are talking next season, and that's a whole new ball game.
