I reckon he is pretty much like Michael Shenton. Will only play his best rugby at his home club, Castleford. Cas could have done with him, and both club and player would have benefited IMO.

More fool them for paying him that a season anyway. Ridiculous amount for an unproved player.
Bet there aren't too many players at Leeds on more than that.

Where does this myth come from that the Leeds team all laik for nowt, because they love the club so much?

Is it all based on Sinfield's tearful speech when he said that Leeds players could earn more elsewhere, or is there any actual evidence to back it up?

My understanding is that he wasn't registered. He wasn't initially given a squad number but was given 34 or 35 a few weeks after all the others had been announced. I assumed that he was going to be there as a last resort in case we had crippling injuries. In which case we would register him.

It's simple mathematics with a £1.8m cap 25 man squad that's about £75k each average. Now some players will be on a lot more than that and fringe players allot less. The higher paid players for instance will be £90-100k+ so using Leeds as an example. The likes of Sinfield peacock, hall,Watkins, briscoe, will be in that league. Insert big names at other big clubs and you get the drift. Now do you think Arundel is in that calibre of player £90k puts you in the higher earners at clubs.
