Quote: Jukesays "That's not what he said - He said that we are well covered in that area and listed the players - He didn't say that we Wouldn't be bringing anyone else in.

And here is the crux

You have been insinuating for Months now that there is some kind of Financial mis-management/Underhanded situation going on at the club.
Then when people challenge that you turn and say that's not what your saying at all.
3 pages or so ago talking about IFL "Lining His & His Business pockets".

So simple question.

A/ Do you believe that IL/KR or whoever is Mis-managing the Clubs financials for their own benefit, making money out of the club etc. i.e. When they make a profit or sell a player IFL pockets the money personally

Or

B/ Do you think he runs it at a Net Loss and puts the rest in (Loans it etc. which BTW amazes me when people worry about this) and it actually costs him money as he plugs the gap?


If it's
A/ Then be prepared to get yourself a Lawyer
B/ Then why keep going on about & worrying & asking for more clarity on how a Business runs when we have very little right to do so?'"


you are right i have, yet today i have also pointed out that the more recent dealings the club has performed have gone a long way to appeasing those concerns i had.

but before we carry on at no point did i say IL was up to no good, at no point did i say there was something untoward going on. my point since joing this board was that i felt the club had handled contracts poorly, giving out money left right and centre to those not deserving or those who ended up throwing it back in our faces. where is the element of something untoward there? all that means is that i think the contract negotiations and whoever controlled them was having a bloody mare!!

i also may have said he is probably lining his pockets but he is a business man, why wouldn't he be?! i dont even care if he is, as long as he is looking after the club in the process, which like i said he seems to be doing, of late at the very least.

so to answer your question, considering you've had the decency to at least communicate with me rather than argue the toos like some others on here, then B. but you cannot tell me how to run my life, i can do with it as i wish and feel how i feel. if i care about the wellfare of the club so be it. there's nothing wrong or untoward about that is there. i'm sure many of you all feel the same.

and surely as fans we have a right to know / ask about whats going on regarding the club, or do you expect us to go blindly into season ticket renewals, the purchase of god knows how many different forms of club gear and trips to AUS every year just presuming that everything will be all right?! i think you are being a little too nit-picky, thats all.

if you don't liek the fact that i obviously had / have concerns then fair enough, but don't expect me to change my views just because they don't agree with others please.

[b:1zy5cey6]"...To those people that wrote this team off... to all those that criticised this team... tonight's for you" [/b:1zy5cey6] [i:1zy5cey6]Sir Kevin Sinfield[/i:1zy5cey6]:27794.gif



Quote: NSW "Interesting one on wages. The NRL is very transparent about wages.

Michael Chammas is reporting Kai Pearce Paul is on 775k aus next year.

That’s about £400k.

I’m a massive KPP fan but can’t believe he’d command such a high salary.

Only French, Williams or maybe Welsby would be up in anywhere near that in SL.

Shows the task we are up against keeping players.'"


I agree and that the salaries offered to entice players over to the NRL are excessive, and even though KPP is a very talented young kid then £400K per season is a ridiculous amount of money.
It will be interesting to see if it is money well spent by the Knights or if he eventually gets cut down the line to free up salary cap space

:



Converting KPPs salary to GBP is irrelevant as their salary cap is miles higher so its no comparison.

His reported salary next year is about 8% of the salary cap. Equivalent % in England would be £168k per year which doesn't sound out of the question if he is one of your best players? £168K would probably put him in the top 3-5 earners at a club like Wigan, Saints, Warrington I would guess?

Wonder which academy players will join the first team squad next year ?

Junior and Hill will replace Cooper and Isa but who will replace them?

Kian McDermott, Lukas Mason and Taylor Kerr all seem to England academy regulars. A proper, a backrower and a loose forward.

Wonder if they are seen as big prospects?

I remember Nathan Lowe a winger/centre joined the first team in preseaon whilst Marshall was away.

Not seen much of McDermott but in the bits I've seen of the other two, I've always been hugely impressed with Kerr. He looks a real talent, with good hands and will be a good size once he fills out. I've never seen much in Mason to think he'll go on and become a top player but he might've just had quiet games in the ones I've seen. The other who always impressed me is Tom Ratchford, a young hooker. He will have a lot of players to get past at Wigan in the next few years mind.
