I'm with you mate. I think Kennedy is the sort of player Melbourne would turn into a hard as rock forward that could potentially play Origin. He needs more of a go for me. Only had limited opportunities but goes well.

Didn't he come from the Storm?

I think it is pretty clear that they aren’t making any big signings until DD is here, is the Storm imposed waiting period for DD’s start date Kevvie’s fault too?

The issue is they're already making these expensive commitments to players before he's even had a chance to have his say. It's going to be difficult to sort out the roster when the club is continuing to run the exact same methods that got them into this situation.

I don't expect Donaghy to make an immediate impact at the club either. I don't think he's going to come in and sack everyone and bring in the best staff right away. I don't think we'll see his impact until 2023, if ever.

What are these commitments ?
 
Big Pete said:
Flegler $650,000 for 2 years, Piakura $400,000 for 3 years and Staggs is being offered a four year deal worth $700,000 which appears to be settled.

Piakura is $350 for 1 & 2 then $400 for 3 I'm sure. Staggs isn't even signed yet and flegler was last year, seems like you have a bee in your bonnet about something or someone.

Flegler happened before Kevvie arrived, Piakura is potential but not that big investment and Staggs is being used as filler for Badel with nothing even close to being confirmed yet.

Flegler re-signed in November, he was one of Kev's first signings.

That's a lot of money already tied up and we don't know how much was spent to retain Riki either.

Did he? I thought it was before that, my bad if that’s the case.

Considering the club constantly keeps crying poor I'm prepared to believe a lot of these young players are being paid overs.

every club cries poor ... but always seem to have the money when the right signings become available.

I can't recall a single club (even ones that go on spending spree's) openly admitting to having a war chest. they all cry poor

How many have openly said they can't announce a signing because they're over the cap? The Broncos have been open about the state of their salary cap, I don't think the journos are far off the mark at all.

if you believe the journos ... then you have to believe that we have $3 million to spend for next year. because Badel has literally just said that in an article. hardly sounds like we have cap issues if that's the case

Smokin Joe has stated otherwise, think I'll roll with his word rather than badel.

According to the article that's if they release the 13 players and other clubs are willing to pay the full freight which is highly unlikely. They have some money but if they continue down the track they're going they won't have enough to bring in the changes that need to be made.

"Worse before better" Joe would tell you that the cap is in dire straights.
