CC has said they let Brownie and others go to ease the pressure on the cap, croadie was mentioned as being also the case, despite us still paying something to him.The goose from Ten reckons we are selecting players according to the demands of the cap.
I'm not sure this is at all accurate or as urgent as the press make out.
I would think that with Hase, Pav, Schammer, Parker recently all re-signing any pressure on the cap would have been eased appropriately just thru spreading the payments thru the new contract period. As well you had Medders, Hayden and others signing last year. Sure alot of them got big pay rises but there would have been fair bit of discounting for above value payments to others. Clive is on his last yr and would have been extended if it would ease the cap pressures.
The player list should now be more consistent, reflective of player value and manageable without impacting upon the salary cap and player selection.
