Reserve Grader
1. Snake ($600,000) - I'm not in favour of paying him the reported amount but we need him to secure Glenn.
2. Williams - released - with Cherry, Foran, Stewart and Lyon in the backline we can only afford budget wingers. Estmated salary $180,000; New winger $80,000 = SAVED $100,000.
5. Oldfield - signs on for 80kish or leaves to be replaced by another new, untried and cheap winger.
4. Lyon - Stays.
3. - Matai - released - replace with Whare. Estimated salary $250,000. Whare already included in cap. New, untried and cheap centre $80,000 = SAVED $170,000.
6. Foran - Stays.
7. Cherry - Stays.
Backline losses: Williams, Matai.
Savings $270,000.
13. Stewart - stays.
11. Watmough - Stays.
12. T-Rex - Released. I can see Tony destroying Queensland this year and his asking price will balloon out to $500,000+ a year. Cannot see how we can afford that. Hate to see him go. I'll assume we can keep him...
8. Kite - Stays because he has a contract and why would he leave.
10. King - As above.
9. Ballin - If T-Rex stays then he goes. Estimated salary = $300,000. Replaced by Buhrer who is already included in the cap. New, untried but cheap hooker = $80,000. SAVINGS = $220,000
Also released:
Joe - Love him but he is getting on. Estimated Salary $150,000. Replaced by a youngster on $80,000. SAVINGS = $70,000.
Darcy - $270,000? No. Released.
Forward loses - Ballin, Joe (If a T-Rex deal is done).
Savings = $290,000
Total savings $560,000.
In following years we release King, Kite and Jamie and replace them with cheap and untried youngsters.
