Spoke to a connect who's been reliable in the past. Said we're not in the race due to the strain it would place on the cap and the future contracts of emerging players.

Hopefully not true
I wouldn’t completely discard that , some of our emerging players are on peanuts like 200+ possibly 5 or more senior players . I could see some of those like butler and others being offered double that when they come out of contract . Perhaps we can accomodate with the larger cap , maybe not. No doubt it would limit us with another 1m player on the list . Don’t forget rance will come out of contract in 2019 , he reasonably would expect a raise

If we lost 2 of our mid range players this year it wouldn't be the worst thing, hopefully they would nett good picks in a great draft, relieve a bit of cap pressure and we have young guys busting to get in the side anyway who may even end up better players.

Say we lost B Ellis and Bolton. we should get 2 picks under 25, we land Lynch as a free agent, then go to the draft with 3 picks in first 25 and only losing 2 players who we have ample depth to cover.

Never nice to lose Premiership players but this year is the year for the club to be a bit brave IMO
Thats my line of thinking as well.
BEllis(450k)>>>Top 20 pick(100k)
CEllis(300K)>>>Pick30's or nothing
McIntosh(300K)>>>Top 20 pick(100K)
Just over a mil out and 200k in>>>>>800k plus abit for Lynch.

Corey aint getting us a pick in 30s. 40s at very best. Silly to trade out Brandy or KMac. Get rid of Bolton instead.

Corey i agree lucky to get anything.Bellis & Mcintosh are expendable imo.Its. not just about Lynch.We havn't drafted a decent mid for a while.Need a quality young mid as an understudy to Cotch.
