Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 3039584, member: 8923"] All the people saying the money we have spare from Nikorima and Roberts departing will be used on the retention of Lodge/TPJ/Oates I think are off the ball a little bit. Remember, we also released Kahu and McGuire at the start of the year and have only signed budget minimum contract players in their position. Assuming reports of Nikorima was on about $250-300k and Roberts about $500k are correct, theres about $800k there. McGuire and Kahu likely contribute another $800k. Lodge, TPJ and Oates all received upgraded deals for this year prior to losing any of these players. If we are to upgrade them further and continue with them moving forward I would be shocked if Lodge/Oates are getting more than an extra $100k/season, and TPJ maybe a little more. Surely we are stacked for cash now... I say we buy a fullback and move Boyd to Centre/Wing if he doesn't retire... Hopefully Roberts moving makes Bird want to leave too. I believe Roberts was his closest friend at the club. As good as Bird has been in his games this year before the injury, it's not worth the contract he is on. [/QUOTE]
