Call me old fashioned but why do we need 5 scrum halves, 5 no 10's, 8 wingers and 10 props ?
With the self imposed salary cap its even more important that we seek value from the squad we have. I reckon you could you prune 7 or 8 of these guys and not notice the difference. The money you'd save could then be spent on 1 or 2 from the top drawer.

Have we ever stuck to the self imposed salary cap?

I think its likely the cap will be either increased or scrapped.
From the meeting last week, the message seemed to be that we'd like to sign some players but the ones we need just aren't available at the moment.

Fair few of those boys will be Ponty or Blue and Blacks players rather more than Blues squad players so some reinforcements at second row and possibly at 10 before and after the world cup would be required.

Less than 10 if any, will be playing up the 470 this season, Ponty kept biting that hand that for some odd reason was feeding them, and low and behold it fell off.
An indication of where they will be playing, take a look at size or indeed lack of size of CRFC's playing squad next season.
