| Quote post="post"The key difference yesterday was we didn’t have a hooker and only had a scrum half once Sammut came on.
Shorrocks missed a load of tackles, some of them key tackles that led to tries. Shorrocks needs to up the ante, he seems to saunter through games without a care in the world.
Looking back at the game our forwards didn’t lay a platform because they were let down by Clubb with his minutes and the injury to Greenwood.
If we went into that game with 2 decent props instead of Clubb and Partington, any one of Manfredi/Marshall/Davies instead of Hankinson, Leuluai at 9 with Sammut starting wed have won.'"
Bringing in two quality props would make a world of difference to this team. If we could bring in a proper 9 too it'd be a different side.
Currently we get smashed up the middle every game. You can't win when you're constantly on the back foot. |

Defo. What I wouldn’t give for Melbournes Jesse Bromwich and Nelson Asafa-Solomona. If I won the lottery I’d pay for them two myself. |

They’d both be marquee signings counting at £175,000 each on the cap. |

Cap only counts the first 25 players, so only 23 players to go! |

Well you'd sack off two of the biggest earners in Williams and O'Loughlin so that gives you breathing room.
We need to rely on our Academy more for squad depth, and letting them leave if they're not superstars. Otherwise you get stuck like we currently are - paying a lot of average players just because they're Wigan Academy graduates. |

it's almost 2006 again, we had an offloading Sculthorpe and got a proper prop in Fielden, so now we need a proper 6, 7, 9,10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17

As far as I understand it that is only for their actual base salary but I'll stand corrected. Any appearance fees count and should a player exempt from the cap for being on less than 20k or under 21 play a certain number of games their whole salary then counts.
If appearances and bonuses didn't count you would just pay everyone peanuts for their basic salary and then pump them with bonuses etc. |

When calculating bonuses for salary cap, the cap assumes a number of appearances based on the base salary. Players earning under 20k are assumed to play 5 games a year, those over, 18. ( https://www.rugby-league.com/flipbooks/ ... html#p=283 section 5.6.3).
At some clubs, young players may have one time payrises in their contracts for debut/ first 10 games/ whatever, which would take them into the top 25 earners. This isn’t regulated by the cap, which is why some teams manage to get themselves in the position where they can’t play certain young players. |
