Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2529726, member: 8215"] I reckon this year (and maybe next year at most) is South's only punt at the trophy. They're already having to shed a lot of their depth first-graders, and bump off some old timers, in order upgrade the contracts of Sutton, Reynolds, McQueen etc. Keary will be up for a big upgrade too next year if Sutton moves in to the forwards. Oh and Inglis is apparently going to be on $1 mill a season (up from $600k now). Which leads us to the big point: The Burgess brothers. Sam is one of the best forwards in the world, and he is officially (cough cough) on $250k a year. Anywhere else he'd get at least $500k, probably more. George & Luke are on the minimum top-tier, and Tom is in the 2nd tier. You would have to think on performances this year that George would be able to get $300 - $400k elsewhere, with his twin not too far behind that. Seriously, even with the cap going up (which you'd expect most players have seen coming so would have a % clause anyway), if they're able to hang on to all 4 Burgesseseses without shedding some top-line stars, I'd be checking Ms Burgesseseses accounts pretty thoroughly.
