I'm not a club employee. and I don't know anyone that is. I'm not privy to 'every' players wages, but I do have knowledge of some salary cap details when I'm told about them. Eg, I know who was the highest paid prop at the club is this season, which lead to another prop being very vocal about his displeasure in the dressing room. I also know his wage increases by £10k each season while he's contracted.
As for me knowing we have £80k left in the pot for next season prior to reducing costs, it's what I've been told. If you choose to not believe me that's your prerogative. This is an internet forum, and is designed for opinions. I take no offence from people not believing or disagreeing with me, and the same should be said for the people that disagree when they read things I sometimes post. Use the mute button if necessary.
I am privy to quite a lot that happens at the club, and if you knew the person(s) I know, you'd understand why. I'm careful about what I do and don't post, as some info is WAY too sensitive for this board. Eg, I posted something the other day on the thread about how long DP will last next season, and then quickly deleted it when I realised I was guilty of over-sharing some very sensitive info at the top of the club !
Well, you got that injury diagnosis wrong a few weeks back so I think you're full of poop
Now please God private message me the Powell post you put on and also anything else you know
I'd say the 80k Would be dependant on is we keep Wardle or not. As we were looking for a halfback so will have had money available already, and if we don't get Wardle we'll have that wage extra as well. I'm not sure we can entice Clifford over and as he's still contracted to the knights for next season and the rumours he's homesick don't sound good, we'd also have to pay a fee for him. I hope it's sorted by November at the latest for a new half back, as Powell started pre season early last year in about the start of november so would prefer the halfback to be here for the start of it. I can't see us having more than maybe 2 players in the world cup so basically the whole squad should be ready to go for the start of pre-season.
I don't put spreading gossip to the gullible and betraying trust as valuable assets I admire. Mind you we are all different as I am sometimes reminded ... it is a forum. My views are as right/wrong as the next man. Hope he enjoys his teasing and dishing out his grubby tit bits to our loyal supporters.

I think you're reading different posts than I am, well, definitely reading into Paul's posts something different to me. Your sweeping statement that we're all gullible, and it's nothing more than gossip, teasing and grubby is unfair, as what Paul usually posts turns out to be true, and without information that he should not impart. As you've stated, it's an internet forum, and I'm surprised by your reaction, as I don't find him disingenuous.

Nothing at all to do with rugby or forums. But basically if someone gives me information in confidence I don't go telling anyone. Would you?

This assumes that Paul's source has not agreed to him letting certain pieces of information be posted on this forum. I've no idea whether that's the case, or not.
I would have no qualms in putting out the type of information that Paul has, as there's nothing personal or insulting in the content, onto this forum. Should my source have specified to me that something must not be shared with this forum, my family, friends or whoever, then of course not. We cannot judge Paul, or anyone else that posts on this forum, as to whether they've broken a confidence, or not, without knowing the facts of their relationship, when were not party to it.

You are floundering a bit I'm afraid. But it is a forum ... just my opinion.
