I think I agree with everything you say other than Manoa being the big name. I think we were after someone, it fell through and we ended up with what we got. |

I have no more idea than Austin, but I agree Mac, I think we missed out on our real targets - Jake Ball was on the shopping list and he wouldnt have come cheap. Memory fading but i think there was 1 or 2 more we missed out on. King Louis grandfather lives close to Northampton and probably wasnt as expensive as we might think. |

I feel we were probably under the cap at the start of the season but now we are probably at the cap with the 4 players we brought in. |

Isn't there some exemption or reduction towards the cap if the players have come through the academy? Heading to Toulon until the end of the season: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/38537128 Edited by danjsaints, Jan 8 2017, 11:20 AM.

Academy players don't count and senior players coming through the academy get some kind of cash back or the first X amount doesn't count. Here it is in full: The current level of the Salary Cap for 2016-17 is £6.5m, plus 2 Excluded Players whose salaries sit outside the cap, enabling clubs to recruit and retain world class talent. Within the £6.5 million salary cap ceiling, clubs are encouraged to develop home grown talent by accessing up to £500,000 of Home Grown Player Credits. Also, they can provide an unlimited education (academic or vocational) fund to their players, and can replace long-term injured players without impacting on their Salary Cap ceiling. Injury Dispensations up to a maximum of £400,000 per season continue to be available to each Club, a new England Senior EPS or International Player Credit of up to £80,000 per player has been introduced to cover for player absence during international periods and there is a new overrun tax on any Salary spend of up to 5% over the Base level (5% being £325,000 in 2016-17).
