I don't really think you would know how much Sheffield Eagles have paid out for the players.You may be aware that the investor stopped investing either before the season started,or shortly afterwards.The number 7 shirt has never been filled after the RFL prevented Beau Henry from joining.
The 2 loan players only arrived after the club captain wanted his contract to be ended.
The players you deem simply not good enough recently defeated Featherstone,ahem,and pushed a team costing considerably more,right to the death.

One of our fringe players got offered 30K. I dread to think what they were offering actual first team players.

The players we deem simply not good enough have a strike rate of less than 1 in 3. By anyone's definition, that is simply not good enough. Part time players getting full time wages. Have you not been watching this year or is year head in the sand.

You can't always believe what players tell you.

Still - they kept you in the hunt a bit longer for a top 4 spot.

If only you'd not choked .......

I heard folk speaking yesterday and they were saying the club is going to be offering a few players at a time full time contracts. S ow e have mixture of full time and part time and slowly introduce more full time players until we have a full time squad, as apposed to doing it all in one big lump, (didnt work for Sheffield ).
I don't know if this is true or not just overheard people talking but if it is true it seems a sensible way of doing it

So here we go again rumour and speculation based on hearsay (which might be right). Perhaps the BOD could tell us what's happening, or is that simply beyond them.

Yeah, but how's training going to work ? Full timers come in evey day, 9 while 2 and the part-timers do Tuesday and Thursday nights ?

It's not as easy as folk think ....
