Not sure what the thinking is with these peripheral signings. Perhaps trying to create less player turnover?
It's definitely an interesting strategy.

Is Herbert definitely coming?
I'm so amped to see him play the first 3 games next season..18 : Liligiifo Sao
Is this dude any relation to that guy who played a couple of solid games for us early this year before vanishing into thin air?![]()
Have I missed Ashford moving to another club?
Has anybody ever gone through the Top 30 taking a guess at salaries and tried to make it balance?
Doesn't Shaun Johnson's salary stick out like dogs balls? No wonder they aren't worried.Thought I'd give it a go.

I've tried to be realistic with the amounts and have probably undercut a few if anything.
Comes to a total of $9,140,000 for 28 players.
Leaving $360k to cover the final two spots and any bonus payments (which is probably a bit light to be honest).
I was surprised just how many minimum wage players there must be to make it all work.
