Someday, somewhere, today’s empires are tomorrow’s ashes.: |
|
| There may still be some players to be released. Remember, it's only a few weeks since we were reliably informed that our...erm..."tosspot" chairman had ballsed up and overspent on the salary cap, and that some players were going to have to go. One confirmed release, one retirement and five new signings later, things are still in a state of flux.
We also need to remember that, at the moment, we appear to be two non-fed trained players over the allowance, so it's perhaps best to wait until the dust settles before deciding whether we think any more signings are needed.

| Presumably Mr Hock has an influence on the salary cap - if no one comes in for him & he's still under contract then I assume he still gets paid & counts on the cap?
Should he refuse to train or play then I guess he's broken his contract & can be dismissed?
In either of those two cases then the club gets no return on what was outlayed for him.

How true, how do we get this lot down to 7, never mind adding more non-feds?

Have a feeling Rapira may not come back.
But still, can't see who else would be going as TP said he's staying on. (At least that's the current noise on the subject.)
Signing Groat still seems a bizarre one to me. Time will tell I suppose.

I wonder if the Doc does buy Swinton as expected if Groat wouldn't go on loan for the season too check him out in English conditions. No idea why other than a sneaky hunch that one of either Locke or Chase might follow Hock out of the door rather than face the hard graft that Harris seems to be lining up for them.

I do hope Locke doesn't go after the selling job that was done on "Eurospec" by a certain couple of "Turkey" posters to ensure sponsorship was achieved!!!!!!
Chase on the other hand, although he's "magic" when he feels like it, the majority of the season he was "tragic", so personally, yes, personally, it would not bother me if he decided his future lay elsewhere

I think Gareth has painted himself into a bit of corner here. If Salford take his word that he won't play for the club again and use the salary cap space he frees up to sign other players, then he could be left without a job if no-one else takes him on. We could end up with some strange situation like Salford holding his contract but him not being a registered player, not training and not receiving a wage. His agent really needs to earn his commission now, either by finding him another club or by sitting him down and explaining what could happen if he doesn't find one.
As it stands, some of the five new signings that are apparently impossible because of our "tosspot" chairman were made before Gareth decided his future lay elsewhere, so, presumably, aren't eating into his chunk of the salary cap allowance. At some point, though, the club are going to want to start spending that money, if they haven't already.

That's based on the assumption that the Doc does eventually get toooo buy Swinton, that Swinton don't already have their overseas quota filled and that Swinton are willing toooo take part in such a deal. I can't see it, toooo be honest.
As regards Locke and Chase, Rangi's body language hasn't looked toooooo positive recently, but I'd be surprised if he goes given that the club has just signed his mate (step brother?). Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised toooo see more upheaval before the start of next season, as you say.
I think we have to assume that two (or even twoooo) of our non-fed trained players have expressed a wish toooo leave, because I really can't see the club going out and signing two more unless they have. Or unless there are some secret exemptions we don't know about. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

| Was reading somewhere that the RFL intend to raise the Non-fed quota to 7 for next year. Think it was the league express. This might answer the question.

There we go then.
Conundrum solved.
*EDIT*
Been speed reading again and presumed people were going on about 5 non-feds. We still need rid of two, maybe one if Rapira stays abroad.
In fact, ignore me. Most do anyway.

I was a little confused why that resolved the issue!
Bradford are also currently on 8 non Feds to my knowledge, That and the long service concession (50k) and the elite training squad dispensation (100k) have currently been removed from the operational rules page, there might be more rule changes to come - I doubt many clubs will be happy to operate 150k less than last year with 500k more Sky money burning a hole...

| We also have the Hunslet loan question. When the signing of Hood was announced it was stated that a Salford "first team player" would go to Hunslet on a season long loan. That could have been a way to reduce the number of non-fed players in the squad, but maybe now we'll see Hock sent there if nobody wants him.
