You've now got to spend 97.5% of your salary cap & there's only a $300k Veteran/Developed Player allowance so I don't see many players taking haircuts at their next contract.
Definitely can't see CNK taking less come 2026 considering it'll likely be his last substantial pay day, he would have...
Cam George responded indirectly to Kent on the radio earlier & summed it up well.
When JFH decided he wanted to move to a city that he already knew, with only one team to choose from, and the fact he's been coached by Webster & Jones before there ain't much to discuss so you can seal a deal very...
Jazz could definitely do a great job in that role but, unlike Going, he's an established first grader. While not beyond the realms of possibility, Jazz probably has 3 years as a full time pro left & that'd be a fair bit of cash he'd be leaving on the table
Under Webster we've had Sifakula, Laban, Roache & Going all debut after being outside the 17 on the Tuesday prior. I think that Maiu'u getting a spot on the bench is a hell of a lot more likely than a positional change to the forwards for either Pompey or RTS
He must be highly rated. His debut in NSW Cup snuck under the radar last season when he played in the playoff match vs the Rabbitohs. That might have even been before he had a SG Ball appearance (due to an injury earlier in the season).
As previously discussed, Going can't be picked ahead of a Top 30 or Development player until after Round 10 so how can Paul Roache be in the extended squad ahead of Fukofuka (who played last weekend, albeit in Jersey Flegg)?
Sounds like Willison was picked up by the Broncos after just 1 game of League! Broncos scout was at the right place at the right time

Poasa Faamausili is on a development deal & has been playing for the Dogs since Round 1. As @Dantheman says it's changed but can't quote any links as I got nowhere with a search yesterday to find out if Going was actually eligible for selection on his NSW Cup contract
Assuming Maiu'u plays NRL, who's the next Prop in line for Cup?
I see Gavet & Vaivai are playing Fox Memorial after being used sporadically in Cup last season. Their experience could help the young side
Mulitalo would undoubtedly be a fantastic signing. Can play both sides too.
Moala Graham-Taufa is 22 years of age. Close to 40 reserve grade games, been around professional environments for at least 3 seasons & has already debuted in the NRL
