Thought that was for British marquees and £175k for overseas?
According to salary cap regulations it is £150k and £75k for club trained.it doesn't mention overseas.

We don’t know the value of the contracts but I like Donaldson actually. He hits in D and is good for the younger players. Looks like he has put on some size over the last year.

Thompson needs to show up this season because he’s a quota spot; be interesting there.

Donaldson 100% deserves this deal. His attitude is first class and will be a great role mofel for fitness and professionalism for younger players. He will give 100% when he gets his chance but will also understand his position as a squad player when not selected. I would imagine his salary is at the lower end of the scale so in terms of return for investment hes great value for money. Yes he doesnt bust the line but hid defence is first class and he definitely lifts the overall intensity in defence when hes on the pitch

Well said, that sums it up.

He’s a good lad and a real trier and his leg tackling would have been ideal in the 70’s where many sides had mobile, hard grafting fairly small second row forwards.
However, when he makes a one man tackle round the legs he has to release immediately, resulting in a very quick play the ball and often leaving him on the ground and helps get the opposition rolling.

I can’t stand all the wrestling stuff but in the modern game I just think he’s too small and limited to be very effective.

As many others have said he’s a good role model and all that and good luck to him but for mine we need others to outplay him this year and claim a regular spot in the 17.

Martin - Yes 3 year
McClelland - No (unless he rips it up this year)
Sutcliffe - No
Briscoe, L - No


L Sutcliffe signed new deal a few weeks ago.
Mclelland is done no way we sign Eastmond if we think Mclelland will make the grade.
