That Calletti(?) kid from Brisbane is the business.
Throw coin at him to play 10.
Done.

He is Joeys captain and has only just signed with them. I doubt he will be going anywhere but overseas!Originally Posted by plague

Ok plan b:
Coach Ooga Booga up to play like that.
Geez I'm good at this.
Is Borello off contract? Kid goes well. Play him up front or replace Hoole on the right if he ****s off to European reserve grade
Borrello will go to Europe before he signs for us.
That ship has sailed.
Fahd Ben Kalfalah worth a shot for a year or two? Not playing at victory
This will be an odd opinion/question maybe but what has Wayne Brown actually done since he signed his new contract, Cant remember any games where he was as good as round one and two.
Forced to sit on the bench cause Jonesy has been forced to play lei lei
smashed that coastie unlike many others
He also became a dad again

Don't you just 'remain' a dad?
Deep.
How about "he became Dad to another child?"

Players still off contract:
Ben Kantarovski
Ben Kennedy
Labinot Haliti
Andrew Hoole
Mateo Poljak
Daniel Mullen
Morten Nordstrand (I recall when he re-signed there is an option for the club to retain him for a second season)
Ma Leilei
Harrison Sawyer
Kristian Brymora
Joel Allwright
Tomislav Arcaba
I'm surprised at the very little movement in the player market since the free-market opened.

Out of that list based on what weve seen only Hoole and Poijak get resigned
+ 1
Kanta should be resigned, at a low wage of which part should be salary cap exempt.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
ummm... why?
At a guess, LRO is suggesting that Kanta is the kind of player that we should be keeping and spending the outside the cap home grown/loyalty funds or whatever it is. He's not a completely awful player, has good versatility and if he takes up $0 in the salary cap, that means we have 22 spots for our 2.5m instead of 23. Make 2 marquee signings, sign an NPL rookie and use money on Cowburn or whoever meets whatever the old Junior Marquee thing is and suddenly you have 2.5m of cap to spend on the remaining 18 players. We don't do that.
No wonder clubs like Melbourne and Sydney have so much better squads. If you have those 5 spots outside the cap, that's a full $30k per person extra you can spend inside the cap. Even more if you snag a Timmy Cahill Rule player.
Its pretty mental when you lay it all out on the table like that..
Yup... and the loyalty thing isn't just for one player, is it? It's up to a dollar figure, maybe $300k? So you could pay Kanta his salary, maybe BK in there as well and voila, you have a solid back up keeper, a versatile squad member and $0 spent in the cap.
