He will be compared to his initial contract when he joined the club. If he's not then it's poor management as he was then supposedly one of the NRLs best props, as of signing for another year last year, he was an average clubman

At the risk of repeating myself, but surely there aren't too many players you'd expect to be earning over £50k per annum. If you were to just estimate a squad of 20 players on a mean of 50k, that's only £1m.

Note that I said a mean of £50k, mean - if you remember from school - being the average when all is summed up and dived by 20, it leaves room for some young bucks/sqaud players to be on circa £20k and other 'big earners' to be on £70k +

Also, what is this pish posh about being Salford's highest ever paid player? How much does that equate to? I doubt they'll have had six figure sums out for too many players.

And if I were in a glass house, I wouldn't be worried about stones being thrown at other houses tbh.

Also on the MEN website now

no but as part of his contract we have to give him a circus elephant sized sack of them.

If big Paul is on peanuts, he has obviosly eaten them all in one go!

I wonder if the accounting staff at Warrington Wolves are aware of the salary cap - perhaps someone should alert them to this impending disaster otherwise we could fall foul of the RFL / Super League guidelines.

We ARE a bigger club.

Ok then another player on loads, so seriously how are wire fitting all this in?

I had to laugh at that.

But seriously though. Briers wage is reduced in the cap, Carney, Rah and Johnson may well be leaving us, and Monas, King & Hicks took a wage reduction with the whole image rights thing, although im not sure if that will affect their wages on the cap anyway as it was a "loophole"

Does the testimonial 50% wage reduction on the cap cover all the players? Or just one?

If it is more than one player then you have to remember that Woody is entering his testimonial year.

Dont forget Martin Gleeson has not been replaced on the cap! Mathers straight swop for Reardon!

Load of rubbish. There is no way we would pay 300k for Myler It could be spent in much better ways. If we are going to then club management should get their heads tested ASAP.

Before we got to Wembley every rugby leaague journo around was reporting Myler to Wire for a 200k transfer fee, and even that was probably exagerated.

So the fee has increased 100k due to us making Wembley?

why are you so botherd?

i bet you one thing. we wont we breaking the cap unlike some

Halfd "apology" accepted. As stated, this'll be Johnno's last year - along with Rah going and Gleeson and Reardon gone this frees up a fat wedge of salary money. Christ, is this really rocket science?

is it any wonder most wigan fans were ed off with the rfl for their breaches of salary cap instead of at their inept management?
