It’s probably a purely selfish thing with me wanting Hurrell to stay, i watch the Rugby to be entertained and I feel a bit robbed that we’ve basically been robbed of a whole season of watching him live due to Covid.

I do however agree he shouldn’t be Marquee

Well deserved contract extension for Donaldson. Twelve players off contract this year it will be interesting who the club decides to offer new deals to.

Yeah quite a lot that. Should hopefully make players play for a new deal this year tho. Contract years seem to make players up their games sometimes.

Donaldson - Yes
Hurrell - Yes - 2 year non-marquee
Lui - No
Leeming - Yes 2 year
Prior - Expect he will decline and return to Aus regardless
Martin - Yes 3 year
McClelland - No (unless he rips it up this year)
Sutcliffe - No
Briscoe, L - No

There is also
Holroyd
Walters
Both should definitely be offered deals.

Don't think we can keep Hurrell unless it's marquee again.
I'd offer him that, or someone wise will. He's been top draw most of time for us.....

This is my worry i bet a few other clubs like Salford/Wakey/Hudds would take Hurrell as Marquee

Marquee is about how much of a players salary counts against the cap, not what you pay them. I believe the "cap" that's applied for Marquee is £150k. We could pay Koni more than that and not declare him as Marquee if we had 2 players with higher earnings so we would get more cap benefit.

Yeah well explained. my point being though, is Koni is unlikely to accept less than what he is on now. Been in SL dream team 2 years running. Not sure how people seem to think we can keep him on a lesser contract.......

Salford and Wakey’s idea of a marquee signing is a large tent.

£175k for overseas players isnt it?

Perhaps. The mechanism of Marquee is clear for me, I just couldn't recall the figures. Old age...

No its £150k

Thought that was for British marquees and £175k for overseas?

According to salary cap regulations it is £150k and £75k for club trained.it doesn't mention overseas.
