| Quote: jonh "Josh Schuster situation is interesting from our point of view.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Had Isa not picked up his injury wouldn’t think about it, and hopefully it isn’t the case he is out for the season.
If he is though I believe there is the option to deregister him.
This would open up cap and quota space.
It appears there is no interest in the NRL and he is about to become a free agent with $200k pay off.
Like I said hopefully Isa gets back playing but if he doesn’t he could be an option on a short term deal for the rest of 2024.
I see a lot of similarities around his situation and when Lautiti became available and similar freakish skill set if he can get his head right.'"
As a pure guess I would imagine he would want a decent wage, do we have that space under the cap?even if we can write Isas wage off?

| 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.
