A truck load of salary of their books. Likely also steadying things up for next year when the cap is more stringently enforced.
Alex P and Moreno would have been on a very decent wedge.
Smith, Galloway and Mata, not bad coin as well.
And they ditched Toomey.
Interestingly only Alex P started against Melbourne so it’s only their bench and depth which will be tested.
Can see them only paying decent money for the new import striker, with a local cheap centre back signed for back up and a scholarship for the left back, back up.
Squad will also likely be a couple of players lighter number wise and they will be demanding more of Brimmer, Howieson and Elliot when injuries hit along with their young kiwi players.
