Quote: Mark Laurie "Don't think anyone knows but I can't imagine there is much left unspent. The other issue hinted at by McD earlier in the year is that both Sutcliffe and Lilley are on ten bob and a conker and therefore may be getting more next season.'"
Give Sutcliffe another five bob and both conkers - effect on cap neutral. Wasn't the comparison to the NQC half-back pairing of Thurston/Morgan. You'd expect that disparity to be huge and rightly so.
If the 2010 squad fit within the cap and still left room to bring Lee Smith back in mid-season I struggle to see how 2016's squad isn't comfortably within the limit. Mr Sheffield Eagles operates to his own budget not the one laid down by the RFL, IMO.
