a loss is a loss and to add a player on that kind of money when you are workin on a loss doesn't make sense

In RL terms that is as good as it gets. As for the theoretical salary, you don't really believe that figure, do you?

it won't be far off the mark he was trying to get an improved offer at manly but to no avail i suspect that is the reason he has come over yet another end of his career over paid aussie cashing in

And according to this Wire lost £212,000

I believe those figures are from the latest accounts registered at companies house.

If you know any different please feel free to publish.

They are wrong, quite significantly so.

Spend a quid you tight get and find out the truth.

Oi! Oi! Oi!

a 10k loss is pretty insignificant compared to some clubs tbh

Except:

1. All those items (bar the first) are taxable as benefits in kind.
2. All those items are specifically caught by the salary cap - see the RFL Operational Rules.

if you really want to increase the value, you have to resort to things like (excessive payments for) image rights and through a (usually offshore) personal service company, (questionable) payments to Employee Benefit trusts, (Legitimate) Pension payments, an "unconnected" third party mysteriously paying a load to the player for his image rights or services and that player mysteriously and coincidentally agreeing to play for a much lower salary (legit if genuine...if...) or the brown paper bag (illegal).

Obvioulsy, no responsible club would want to resort to the more questionable items on that list.
