Must have both been typing at the same time

Indeed. I feel this one has been coming and don’t think it’ll be the end. I believe we have a big name lined up if we can shred some salary cap space.

Great to see they're still hard at work on the squad structure despite the season having started - maybe last Saturday gave them some added impetus...

I agree and I have posted this before on here that I was told that Seb Ikahihifo would be joining us for 2019,although there were numerous players to remove from our salary cap first in order to fit him under our cap

I'm not sure if we have moved on from here with regards to signing him as we initially wanted him during the off season ?

I believe we have moved on from this and I don’t think with Huddersfield’s injury issues, they’d let us look at him now. But I believe it’s bigger than this.

What ‘big name’ would be available at this time of year and one that freeing up Walters salary would make any dent on?

Cap-wise it could be do-able with a heavily backloaded contract. Fairly basic wage year 1, astronomic wage yrs 2 & 3. We [iknow[/i we can make space once this year's out the way.

My money's still on Ikahihifo btw

Walters and Ormonroyd’s salary + we may well have been slightly under the cap before releasing those players.

Cronulla Sharks are rumoured to be about to lose a 'big name player' as part of their impending salary cap breach punishment. A Fifita, Gallen (even at his age) or Woods would do nicely, though highly unlikely.
