Heard Branighan was back in the country and was looking at playing over here once his visa issues were sorted. Not sure how credible this is though.

He is injured at present. If he is in the UK it is only to visit his girlfriends family whilst he is not playing

A look at the Mounties site shows Luke has played 6 games, scored 4 tries and 31 goals. PDF File Presume thats the Tere Glassie who played for Leigh a few years ago as well.

Like i say, i would hazard a guess that 40K was well wide of the mark. The same reason that people who believed Jamie Rooney is on 80K per year are living in cloud cukoo land.

Branighan was under contract was he not?

Re: Should Calland resign or be sacked? : Tue May 03, 2011 11:03 pm  

Most players-certainly at this level- will have something like a signing Fee/basic which is usually a small amount and then a pay as you play rate based on win/Lose. The top players in a team may have a set wage, but most not so am not sure you can say Player X gets so much. Also certain players work for the club in some way like Frank Watene for example. So doubt you can just say this player is earning that much as there is more to it than that. I know Wrench for example is a Builder, Smith a Teacher etc and so in most cases the Rugby League "Wage" is a bonus on top of their normal day job.

But they'll have to declare all payments made to players so that they can monitor the cap. So yes - someone will have to say "this player earns this much" for playing for Fax.

Given that a lot of the contracts are incentive based, winning bonuses ect, Id guess we aren't paying out as much as we could be right now.

How do you properly monitor the cap? Ah yes the NRL have done a great job of that. Just look at Melbourne Storm and many others who have managed to dodge the Levels for years and no doubt the same in the UK. Very easy to get a sponsor to "Gift" something to a player or for a player to receive a sum at a later date in cash. A club probably will declare what they have payed out in contracts and what a win/lose basis is.
