Quote: Alfie Langer No2 "25 highest paid players must be under the SC of £1.65M. May go slightly over this for bonuses for international appearances, etc.
There's another band below this for about £75K I think, I'm sure someone will be able to clarify this.'"
That's correct (and don't need to check rules this time !).
So it can be difficult to play your young starlets that are outside the top 25. Last year we played only Currie and Dwyer - I assume because Currie is probably on a decent salary. That meant Laithwaite didn't get a run out, he went to HKR for 4 weeks instead.
We have quite a lot of talent knocking on the door; Riley, Bridge, Ben Evans, Mendeika, Saltonstall, Benion, Burke whilst at the same time an ageing 1st team. It would be good to see some of these kids get a run out, particularly as we will undoubtedly have squad rotation again next year.
