Me? Or the club? I'm not sure if you've noticed but there isn't exactly a large selection of young, british scrum halves kicking around at the minute. I know you particularly don't rate the guy, I don't think he's that bad.
It's also not that long ago that he signed a new deal, I would expect him to be on a pretty decent salary.

Didn't club say at forum that they'd told players they would be allowed to leave if they could find another club to get them off salary bill. Don't think it was clear whether we would demand a transfer fee.

Re: Rumours Rumours Rumours : Tue Dec 10, 2013 9:41 pm  

Not sure we are in a position to demand a fee unless there starts being a bidding war or interest from several clubs. Even if there is surely the club will offer the fee to the player in an increase to his contract.

Would be v surprised if we can get a fee in our situation

That was how I understood it. Only financial benefit we get is reduction in wage bill.

TBH, the "You can leave if you want" statement by the club seems to be a bit of empty gesture as by this point pretty much every club will have filled their squads so it's only unlikely circumstances that would free up space elsewhere for players to be able to move.

Case in point, Gale to Hull. Hull have said they were interested, at the time Bradford didn't want to sell, Hull got a different player and now don't have salary cap space to take Gale even if they still wanted him.

Diskin to retain captaincy as I told you all months ago... well, I said it wasn't Heath (that's how it works round here isn't it?!)

As for the locked thread, did roof and eddie get confused by the term "sledging"?

Fnar, fnar, fnar.

Well it certainly went downhill pretty quickly, even allowing for the low starting point.............anyone know where I left my coat?

Saints paid £50k for Kyle Amor, so on that basic, Luke Gale is probably worth no more than £25k in transfer fee. It does however depend on what his salary is to work out what the value to the Bulls is in letting him go.

Kyle Amor is twice the player Luke Gale is?

Don't be so silly.

I know, more like four.

For heavens sake if you can't see what a top class act Amor is you really are as daft as you appear. If it were not for the appearance of the Burgess brothers I'd tip him for England by the end of next season.
