I've been watching this thread with great amusement for sometime now.

A point that's being missed on the top 25 earners and the salary cap will always be the 25th (or 23rd, 24th etc) highest earner at the club regardless of how little they actually earn.

Putting somebody in the 25th highest earners at the club does not directly equate to them getting much of a wage at all. Just do some basic math.

How much is he on? we'll never know exactly.

All we can deduce is that there's a KP's salary shaped space on our salary cap liability (1st or 2nd tier), lets call that amount X and that the club deem that spending amount X on KP was more beneficial to the team than using amount X for any other purpose. When considering that X maybe small (and still put him in the top 25), and only the club know what X is and what the alternatives are, further discussion on X becomes moot.

Eitherway I expect this to run and run until it's quoted to death.

SEB,
You've been quiet for a while.

Agree entirely, but you won't convince a lot on here.

Dave O will come up with some conspiracy theory, written by Mickey Highams mum of course.

We should start to call Karl Pryce "the Cat" - he seems to have as many lives.

my granny would have scored the trys he scored and she's dead.

Doubt it.

I am not comparing the players but when Pat Richards plucks a ball out of mid air and falls over the line it deemed amazing.

When Pryce does the same it is because he is a lazy get who was probably going to fall over anyway.

We have just seen the benefit already of his signing in that we can now confidently allow one of our junior outside backs a seasons first team development without leaving the squad with less depth.

Pryce provides significant cover freeing up other players to progress their careers for the benefit of the club long term, without damaging the squad short term.

Fantastic planning, and strategy, of course Dave O will have had a better plan to progress the lads careers without signing Pryce.

A serious question.

How many 60 yarders did Goulding score?
That's not having a go at Goulding.

But then again you were the one who thought Feka was better than Fielden.
Says it all really.

I remember the one at Quins, needed some scoring.

Interception, with no one in front of him, but to be fair he did take it well.

but the chasers were right behind him and he pulled away. Jones-Bishop couldnt keep up

"It is believed he has agreed to stay for far less than other clubs were prepared to offer him."

So it just goes to show other SL clubs were interested in him, and were prepared to offer him a greater salary than ourselves. So credit to Karl for not taking the easy option and signing for them. For me it say's a lot about him if he's prepared to stay and fight for a place at Wigan when "easier options" were available.

It says a great deal about him, as does the fact that a lot of the lads really like him, even though he's portrayed by a group of fans as 'lazy' etc........

Funny that the only official word Pryce has signed a new deal is buried in the squad number announcement.......



Whereas other players signing new deals get their own club statement, lets take for example the other player who signed a new deal last week...........



You'd almost think the club were embarrassed by it.
