How can they afford it... Barbs / Honda / Troisi / Toivonen will all be demanding top coin.

Looks like they will be going with a 21 man squad. 2 marquees & 3 home grown player allowances to pay for their u20s minimum wage. So you are spreading the cap over 16 players. So that is $2.928m / 16, so $183k per player. Broxham has 50% of his wages outside the cap, Thomas 35% & guys like Hope/Ingham/Athiu will be closer to the minimum wage than the 183k. Toivonen will probably be back loaded into a marquee deal for next season, with Troisi coming off contract.

The cap is far more flexible than some clubs make out.

Good summary. 

At times like this  I call BS on anyone whom has said we have spent our cap in the last five seasons

It's been done on a smell of an oily rag and it looks like nothing has changed by the signings so far this season which will be our second last unless someone starts spending  some money and quickly
