It was said a few years ago, players started wearing the blades, which didnt turn in the turf the way that regular studs did.

I know with warrington and ben Currie they blamed the pitch for not being up to standard and cutting up when he did his knee.

Give me a figure Brian, how much would an assistant be on?

yep agree it does need looking at never used to see this many bad knee injuries
When normal studs were used

can you? you said peanuts

From going from £80,000 a year to minimum wage will be like peanuts to them.

whos on minimum wage and whos on 80k?

Whilst playing, a player could be on £80,000. Once finished and go into coaching in the academy or community foundation then your talking a bit more than minimum wage aren’t you.

he could be and a coach could be, it depends what your bring to the table, I imagine no coach is on anywhere near minimum wage

No head coach yes. But assistant coach or water carriers won’t be on much, not in the grand scheme of things.

Wigans wage bill for the 2017 season (last published accounts) was £4.55 million. page 15 If you allow around £2.5 - £2.8 million million for players as an estimate then some of the staff are obviously getting paid a decent salary. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/comp ... ng-history We had 68 playing and coaching staff, just for comparison Saints had 73, but our wage bill was slightly higher.

they arent foundation coaches

Awesome player , one of a few who would stand out in the NRL , disastrous luck , poor lad.

always remember when he came on the scene and Wane was singing his praises, a few of the Wigan fans on here where gobsmacked he could get into the team with Charnley and Burgess being there. probably the best UK Winger ive seen since MO and JR, defo has some freaky abilities.

I gave two examples, you took it as one.
