I call rubbish on this, yes we are culling players, but only because they are either leaving because they want to (Laumape), because they have a better offer elsewhere (Friend) or are unwanted by the club (Peyroux). We have always been below the cap by a bit, even with Tomkins on board, and
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is a direct replacement for Tomkins. The only gains are Luke and Sao, we have lost definitely Matagi, Tomkins, Peyroux, Peteru, Friend, Havili and Laumape. Reports also that Ikahahifo and others are going. We are culling because we realigning the squad to what Cappy and Doyle want.
With all these players going I am expecting at least a couple of signings, Cappy has said that if Friend leaves we would need to get another hooker for example. All this story is, is Aussie Journos trying to stir up crap about the Warriors, because we signed a couple of top players.
