we need the dires bean counter

Has he signed a contract extension or an improved deal on the final year of the contract he is on now? Would hope it’s the first bit.

We don't know anything for sure, but if he is now contractually committed to Leigh for next season, I imagine it will be a new, improved deal, but with an NRL clause, which is hopefully better worded than his current deal.

contract clause confirmed so cant sign sl could still go nrl but no offers yet.would think have natural rise for next year budgetted in our cap so why offer more. new 3 year contract maybe.
major refit next year so need all cap money.pies have used non cap counting youngsters to fill out squad for several seasons now some have left for bigger wedge most have stayed and got rewards in the end.hopefully our own plan works out and purtill produces the quality we need at the right price.unril then our squad may always be light as we are having to pay for the quality to keep us in the league post img.we are poaching one or two others leigh lads/yorkies chezzy has knwledge of and we may get lucky there.
the 5 year plan makes sense but lots of factors involved easy intit

Pretty sure Lam is our Fed trained marquee contract, so any new contract wouldn't increase his value on the cap. Would of course eat into the playing budget though

we have our 3 marquee players for next year at a fixed value on the cap if we give one of them a rise that will have to come from somewhere
Say our actual budget is £2.5 mill have a brew and fil out our squad.we have some excelent sponsors payng a good contribution may push our budget up a bit
be realistic what our overseas players might demand
