Meritocracy is a nice buzz word, but it isn't entirely possible when dealing with contract status.

Meh, we'll see if Treliving is a man of his word. He's said in many interviews if a kid wins the spot he's more than willing to make room and move out the players they've supplanted.
Setoguchi needs to show up soon or he'll be on his way out. And Jones, well I don't know how they're going to move him and the 4m in cap they need but I am sure Treliving will find a way if the kids win a spot.
Still plenty of camp to weed through yet though, it's all about winding up into game shape, the kids right now are fueled on enthusiasm and adrenaline, lets see what happens once the dust settles.
