As we are losing Martin , 2-3 players coming in should leave us challenging for the top six

IIRC Myler's salary was used for upgrades.

yeah fair doos. I'll certainly back Brad Arthurs views on this if this indeed is accurate.

That's quite a lot of upgrades, who got upgraded?

At the time IIRC the club claimed that the signing of Hudson was paid for by Myler's departure.

Expensive then wasn't he...

I get they arent going to give numbers out but any agent can add up that 8-10 leaving and 1 incoming = cap space.

Without context it's a confusing / misleading comment to make. I'm sure it's just the agreed upon language given its what GH has said every year he prepares for his holiday in Aus.

Newman was one i believe.

But I think he was vastly reduced on the cap because of the new cap rules.

If he is the marquee player. It's a murky old business.

Marquee is just a way of lowering the cap value. He resigned at the back end of last year and it will have been an upgrade, his form this year may not warrant it but it is what it is.

Personally I think he's playing injured BA has alluded to it a few times.

Don't have the details, but what's the value of Newman playing 'busted' if it means the likes of Kershaw are routinely out-pacing him? Why not play Martin at centre, are we so down to the bare bones in the forwards? Presumably Arthur thinks so.

You'd have to ask BA! There will be loads of players busted at this time of year, if they can get on the field they will.

Mik is back this week but I bet he isn't 100%

Kershaw is quick you know! but I get your point on Newman.

Wouldn't risk Mik this week, give him another week to recover. With enough of a rocket up their butts we should be good enough to get over the top of Hull FC without him.
