Like has been mentioned, if we're going to sign this Chinese player (however old) it looks like one of Pav, Brennan or Cooper will get turfed to make it happen.

What was the rule about getting a player straight from the NPL? Their wage was not included in the cap, or some of it wasn't, yeah? I'm just thinking we probably didn't but could have used that for Brennan last year.
Pretty sure an injury replacement would just replace Allesi and not classify as the 3rd player. Otherwise would be quite the loophole.

Mature Age Rookie must be Australian, over 21, min wage, not played pro football in the past 18 months and last played in Australia
