Merrin is a fair shout actually.

Ward pre-injury also.

Don't they also include the full year cap of a player even if he only joins half way through? that been the case, you will also have extra flexibility on Ava, Lui, and Martin to use into next year.

I don't know I thought if the cap is live it would count the players earnings from when he starts.

My lad was playing at the Leeds foundation festival a couple of weeks back at Hunslet Warriors. Crosby, Lunt, Newman and Donaldson were stood next to us, and I’m not 100% sure who (I think it was Crosby mind), said "I’m getting taxed to f**k on 10 grand a month"!! No way could any of them be earning that kid of dough.

No I don't think so, but I must admit not entirely sure. But I think their salary cap value is the annual value of their contract. So if we take them on in July at say £5000 per month (£60,000 annual), then the salary cap is calculated to £60k for that player.

That’s a surprisingly difficult one given the size of Leeds as a club - I’m genuinely struggling to name any aside from Harry Newman and he wouldn’t make the 17.

Walker and Newman would walk into Warrington's and Hull's sides. Newman also into Wigan's. I would back Ava and Merrin also in any of the top 5 sides, even if not starting.

That's about it though.

NEWMANS DEFENCE WOULD NOT GET HIM ANYWHERE NEAR A TOP 5 SIDE AT THE MINUTE AND WALKER NEEDS TO SPEED UP HIS PLAY THE BALL

If so it doesn't make a lot of sense.Im not sure how clubs would be able to bring in a player near the end of season if that contract counted for the whole year.Seems a silly rule to me if true.

I think the Salary cap is based on value of player, rather than when he gets paid for something. So the value is calculated as his contract value. Don't forget you would also probably release players when taking on, and or get dispensation for people removed from the cap.

Warrington and Hull are top five sides. Look at the alternative, are you seriously suggesting they are better? They would walk into their sides. And Newman would Wigan also.

is this rule to stop pre loading contracts ie sign a player pay him less to fit him under the cap then increase it the following year?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Aug 20, 2019 4:19 pm  

There would be some sense in that - although there are back-ended contracts in Aus causing issues with the cap all the time.
