If he's on 60k then we are nowhere near the cap

25 players in the squad on 60k is only 1.5m !

Likes of hoy, Clifford won't be on mega money as they was both back ups for Newcastle

Re: Pre season. : Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:56 pm  

Is that the same Clifford who was reported to be on $400k?

We'll be paying Trueman more than he was on at Cas.

Sutcliffe has missed out on his testimonial at Leeds to join us. He won't be taking a pay cut.

I’ve been told that we are not at the actual salary cap this season and the club have cleverly said we’re at cap meaning the internal cap that the club set for the season.

I understand that we have invested a fair amount of money on the infrastructure of the club. Facilities, coaching staff etc so have opted to not spend as much on playing staff this season and then can make some big moves next season with so many OOC.

Back ups at Newcastle will still be on mega money as their cap is much higher than ours and Clifford was also not signed as a back up pivot for Newcastle so I imagine was on a fair Whack.

Again it's all guesswork

But Houghton is on similar wage to sutcliffe and Trueman no doubt

Houghton is on good money and could end up our 3rd choice hooker very soon that's the point I'm trying to make

Not escaping the fact the huge gulf between the salary cap in SL and the NRL even fringe NRL players are often being paid the same if not more than SL players at the higher end of the pay scale. Whilst Clifford & Hoy won’t be on marquee money they’ll probably be a on a big wedge and be up there in terms of highest earners which in relation to NRL pay is probably only the average players salary.

But as I’ve said before, only £10,000 is on the cap.
