My mail however not informed from the most reliable sources is that this is the current state of affairs.
Ballin has fielded a big offer from leeds that he is seriously contemplating.
Dunamis Lui has signed with the dragons announcement pending 10 day cooling off period.
Manly look likely to sign Suaia Matagi, Justin Hunt and Adam Docker. Possibly bringing back Charlie Taylor from the roosters as well.
Will sign one of McCrone and Cornish, deal with Cornish was all but done but then mysteriously fell through has been quiet since.
Ash Taylor has signed with the Titans.
Luke Burgess will be retained as we have been unable to secure any more big names for next season so the plan is to make a big play for Sam in 2017.
Trying to keep cap space free for 2017 so guys like Starling who only have 2016 left on their contract will be retained.
Mason may actually get another 1 year deal
Chee-Kam and Littlejohn are on the way out the door to the Tigers.
Want to get rid of Mateo but no one will take him.
Negotiating with Bulldogs to take Tony Williams but key factor is how much of his salary Bulldogs will be paying, both clubs unwilling to pay more than half.
There will be no more big signings for 2016.
Blair, Vave, Wolfman, Horo, Lui, Chee-Kam, Littlejohn, Hasson, Baker, Berryman, Satini, Latham will be moved on.
Parcell is signed.
Lussick is signed.
