And don't forget that Gelling is suspended, he's not been fired / de-registered.

Looking at the salary cap regulations (section 5.8) It says that as the loanee club we would take his aggregate value from Toronto.

I can't see how we would give 4 players to Toronto that would add up to that figure unless they took some of our bigger names, in which case the deal would not make sense. We could take a player off his Marquee spot and give it to Leutele I suppose but I don't know who our lowest paid Marquee player is, and what he earns ?


I've found conflicting figures for Luetele's salary, one suggesting the £430k and him being the worlds best paid centre, and another here https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk ... s-compare/

Ricky Leutele is one of Toronto’s two marquee players who is thought to command a salary of around £260,000


suggesting £260k.

£260k we could possibly work with if we are allowed to de-register Gelling from the cap finding another £160k over 4 players plus possibly a little bit of room in our current spend, the £430k sounds like a crazy figure (but then so does the salary being talked about for SBW).

Have you all spent the evening under the stairs hiding from storm Dennis and finding courage in a bottle of drain unblocker?

Are we really advocating offloading 4 players whether on-loan or not to bring in a Toronto centre, when our current backs get the type of service usually reserved for vegans at a carvery?

Whatever our problems, changing the centre won't solve them.

no way we can afford leutele though.

Why send 4 promising youngsters out when these are the type of players price should be using to freshen things up . I’m sure they would give more than some at wakey Sunday

Well, if Brand didn't play against Wakey that means to me that the coaching staff don't think he is ready for a debut atm, so we have a gap in the squad. If the rumour is true, the club presumably know rather more about the AG situation than we do and view it as a season long gap (with Mamo as cover and Brand when he shows he is ready.) Regardless of how the team play during the year we would still need a replacement. Lets hope that this is an isolated bump in the road rather than a tank track we seem to have stumbled onto.

Our starting centre looks likely to be absent for the duration of the season. Is it such a stretch of thought to be looking to replace him?

TBF, we don't know who would be included in the deal, but if it was some or all of the above lets not forget they would be getting SL experience.

We are in that catch 22 situation.
Club trying to claw some ground on Pies and Leeds...(and Oldham) with youth structures and a strong under 19s...whilst soaking up some cap gravy with doing so...
Obviously trying to target 2022 with them but you get caught out in depth when a situation like Gell springs up.

Not at all, but ushering yet more youngsters out the door to accomodate him smacks of typical wire short term-ism to me.

And McDermott is nobodys fool. Why would he accomodate our cast offs and hand over the family silver?
