If we assume that Burrow is already receiving his fair settlement under the Leeds pay structure wouldn't they be breaking their own rules to allocate surplus cap money this season and next and if so would that matter?

May not necessarily be good once tax is worked out for the player. An 40k a year player on a 5 year contract of 60k, 60k, 20k, 20k, would maybe pay more tax than a straight 40k per year. Not sure that would be beneficial to them. They could offset it by having a kick ass pension though



Which begs the question, would a company pension count on the salary cap? Its exempt from Tax, so you could argue that it should be exempt from salary cap too

This is starting to turn into porn for accountants so I am out of the discussion.

I guess this means that my tongue in cheek comments re SBW won't now come to fruition. www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,865 ... 17,00.html

So if a genuine statement from Mr H then its spin doctoring at its best (or worst), or do we file under cr@p reporting from the gurus at Radio Leeds ?

Why did Lee "head for that burger van" Crooks pop into my head when I looked at that?

Does that mean Tansey is not on loan either then?

No idea, but it does suggest that there is a contract in place between the player and Leeds contrary to some of the opinions voiced above.

There was alledgedly a contract in place with Tansey also, but he is playing over there.

Good debut by him today for the Bulldogs - 1 try 1 assist and very busy and thats with only 2 training sessions. He will be a miss for us
