Have no idea if true but i have seen Rocky offered £60,000 per year but eanted more.
Not knowing what players earn makes it almost impossible to acess if thats avetage or good. If true 60000 seems a very good wage to me with the average salary reported to be around £30000 iin the every day world. , also how many clubs would have that kind of money available at this stage to accommodate that kind of money.

Interesting, I heard that too from a reliable person but dismissed it as ridiculous. I’ll say now I don’t know for certain it’s true but to hear it from two seperate people gives it a touch more credence.

I’ll say straight off if that’s true then we were being extremely generous because that right at the top end of what I’d pay him FWIW

We can't possibly know what the numbers were so it doesn't help to guess. Anyone that does know and posts them would be breaching the AUP so better to stay away from it.

But he's entitled to want more, the club are entitled to limit their offer to what they think is fair. If they don't match its a bit of a problem.

That figure is on the love rugby league app ! So its out for all to see its still there if you want to check! Why someone would release that figure is beyond belief it may have been someone at our club just doing a bit of stiring up! we will never know.

Fair enough. Didn't see that.
Then I agree it's ok to post. Worth saying where it was posted to make sure there is no misunderstanding if it come up again.

Don’t get it?

Sorry I just got it, yes about twice that with the proviso the figure quoted is true and I don’t suppose we will ever know.

Move on it’s old news and doesn’t benefit anyone. I think we can all be fairly certain that’ Hampshire won’t play for Trinity again.

It’s sad bit not a tragedy imo.

This thread is about Trinity contracted players so Hampshire is the one player we really shouldn't be including here.
I'm as guilty as anyone but if anyone wants to continue the conversation (which as Fish says is pretty pointless now) by all means start a new thread.

Its a strange figure to pick out of thin air. Like i said if true to me its a good wage. Most if the fans and including me will be well short of that ammount. If a bus driver can earn just short if that ammount with over time goid luck to them.
Wages and contracts remain a mystery to me and jyst what players earn in general seem a well guarded secret.
Qute ioften we have assumptions made of players wages and if the player in questions worth it, without any idea of the individual eaenings its almost impossible to access.
Yes a players lifes short and are some stage or another they will probably end up in the every day world earning an every day wage.
The 60000 opened my eyes when i saw it but hiw does it compare ti other players within the club.

The question is not why we have not resigned Hampshire but why did we give a 35 year old scrum half a two year deal. I guess the logical idea would be one year to assess his game now but by giving him two we basically sacrificed Hampshire because we have put our faith in Brough. This was further confirmed by the comments from Chester praising his performance at Hull KR whilst never questioning his shocking efforts in the losing run.
I believe many on here questioned the length of the contract at the time it was announced. I think at 36/37 you need cover if he is to be your starter and also be willing to drop him if performances drop, but if you go into the season with no obvious scrum half replacement it is Brough or now we have no Hampshire who?
