That is alot of players off contract in 2012.
How we going to keep them all? Well most of them.

Surely with those players that have signed elsewhere for next year that frees up around $1m, Bosden and Tagive would be lucky to take 200k of that.
Then you have Anasta and Cherrington whos $ would of come down and hopefully FPN gets the sack his been dead wood for the year and dont see that changing.
To many good young kids coming through surely with upgrades theres room for a known name to be signed still for next year.
2013 will be the year of major signings though.

There are plenty of players at all clubs signed up only until 2012.
Many have just risked and played a waiting game for the new TV contract and potential increase to the cap.

WTF are we doing ??????

Why have we not extended any contracts yet ?

Especially jake friend/perret/cordner/ Jared H/ Mosoe

[rooster_booster]

I thought we would have sotpped paying Masons backend by now too - it doesnt make sense???

Also I believe the reason alot of players are off contract in 2012 has something to do with new TV deal and increased cap. Lots of clubs will be in the same position and we could yet see alot of players move clubs.

I truly think we're saving cap space fore Quade Cooper/SBW/Dugan type situation in 2013

Symonds must be cheering to be signed til the end of 2014. He has been very disappointing this year.

FPN must also feel pretty comfortable being signed til the end of 2013.

....hindsight is a wonderful thing!
