Paying off contracts still counts on the cap, doesn't it?

Not sure to be honest, players do leave mid contract, we signed Croft , Ackers and Momirosvki all on contract so there must be a way round it

Don't think they do. If they did Hull would be 5 times over the cap along with Catalans. But the catch is that if you end up subsidising their salary at another club, it does. It's an expensive business any way you look at it.

When do the contracts end for the likes of:
Holroyd, Lisone, Sangare, Goudemand, Bentley, Momorovski, Frawley.

Think Momorosvki was 3 years wasn’t it same as Miller?

Edited to add, no it was two

Still time to give Sangare another extension then

It's a shame Sangare hasn't worked.

I’d send Momorovski packing personally. Waste of a quota spot. Surely we can do better there from the uk or academy

I personally like the look of McCormack and if Simpson can ever get fit, he is a big prospect too. Would be a huge risk going with either over Momo though. Particularly, if either got injured.

I see Mom as similar to Frawley - a bit of a "holding" signing until out young lads develop through to first grade. Neither player has been consistently good enough for Leeds this year though.

It's possible both might show up better next season after some accilimatisation and a proper pre-season under a new coach though. To be fair to Frawley big respect for the guy, gone from his own crowd chanting against him on the pitch to a string of MoMs, massively reslient.

Trouble is Jim he only plays reasonably well for 25/30 minutes each game and it`s obvious what he`s going to do dummy and step.

Partly because our forwards are knackered after 30 minutes

Frawley, Mom, Newman, Lisone are all front-foot players, but none have the real quality to dig in when we're not dominating.

Frawley has been pretty good in D this season I think, his play from our own half is terrible, he does offer some threat in the opposition half. Given that we play mostly in our own half his strengths are negated too often.

Then again he has been part of the problem at times with his deep kicking.

Don’t know if anyone has watched or listened to the Box 2 podcast with Arthur the club have just posted. Thought it was quite an interesting listen. He’s clearly got a nuts work ethic, getting into work at 4.30!

From the interview, he’s missing his family a lot, and although he’s been surprised by the standard of SL, he clearly sees it as a second rate competition. Would be amazed to see him sign beyond the end of the year, meaning Blease will have his work cut out sorting our squad with a new head coach too.
