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.
