Quote: St Helens Wolf "In a salary capped sport, and with a relatively small talent pool from which to draw, I think that Minikin would be a good fit. With the players that we already have on marquee or decent money, plus the need to either retain or replace Hill, then we have to scale back our expectations in other positions. '"
I agree with this. We have what I assume are three big earners - Clark, Widdop, Williams. I imagine the next level are Ratchford, King (?), Charnley, Hill, Cooper, Currie. Even with the marquee exemption, we can't have many more at that level, so players like Minikin will always need recruiting. Some will work out, some won't.
