I don't think the cap is the impediment to signing up higher calibre players.
I am still trying to figure out who the All White is / was we were after. It was obviously never Elliott, Peverly or Vicelich (I ruled out because we went for Jade North). It is / was an All White good enough to compete for a starting spot so I keep coming back to Fallon or Killen - I know it's been clarified but I can't recall if Killen is off contract.
Anyway the potential All White signing seems to have gone the way of the mystery Asian player - or, he says hopefully, it's a done deal being kept quiet.
