Slightly concerning that the likes of Auterac and Dell dont seem to be able to get a contract offer though, there are only so many potential caps we can hoarde to make sure they are playing at a decent level.

It woudl probably be impossible to manage and ensure they get game time, and without doing it for all players, but it would possibly be a better way ot managing resources. Auterac coming in does block off Courtney and any other young loose head who comes on the scene.
