No salary cap increase post Rebels is going to make things difficult:
That is pretty much what I was thinking. Seeing the Reds lose key squad members like Ryan Smith and Angus Blyth and then not have a suitable 50+ capped Super Rugby second rower ready to sign on (at least not yet) was giving me cap squeeze vibes.
There has been a lot of chest beating recently about all the core players that RA have been able to retain, but it seems to be at the expense of SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) teams being able to keep players.
