can anyone quantify a rumour heard friday that the players are underperforming due to having to take paycuts b4 the season?

Sorry to disparage your rumour but… what a load of bollox.

I'm happy to quantify that there are too many crack smokers coming to games

Lol, quality

and maybe too many playing according to the saints board

Quantify or qualify?

GUFFAW

A contracts a contract unless your called Iestyn!

Yeah your dead right..this rumour is true. Webb and Burrow are passing lose balls because they cant be d putting the effort in. McGuire didnt want to catch that bomb at the weekend, was half asleep and was looking forward to bed time.

They've all signed pre-contracts with Warrington.

Yeah i can just see Leeds forcing pay-cuts. Hello tribunal

Maybe we can sue them for "tapping up" our players?

This thread would have had some substance in the early 90's and previous.

But the OP does realize we have a salary cap now? Therefore all the players know the ceiling we can go to. Any reductions would be on the basis of new contracts.

Revised contracts were issed to Peacock and Senior, so yes they may have taken a cut, but with the benefit of getting a longer term. Kylie and Donald were given new contracts, and again were probably on cuts, but it was their choice to accept or move, and they accepted.

The 25% is going to Haiti.

All in a good cause.
