If you compare it to football then yes, it's a bum deal. At the same time, it's a nice way to spend your 20s and early 30s compared to what most people have to put up with, and you have a lot more free time for your £40k or so per year than others - time that you could invest in planning for an alternative career/profession in the future, if you wanted to. There seem to be quite a few opportunities in the health/nutrition sector, for example (you could even get a qualification in this at Wakefield). So whilst it won't set you up for life, if you're one of the fringe players at the top of the game, it certainly gives you the time and the chance to develop other skills/explore other options.

Obviously, if your contract is terminated within the space of 3 months, then you're between a rock and a hard place, unless you've already made other arrangements.

Of course it did. I think you should tell us which one and then we can ban him from the Cas board for potentially saying things that jeopardise the club....

Funny really. I just got back from a meeting with Steve Gill tonight, at which he mentioned he'd been reading tweets about this "rumour". He wondered how such rubbish got propagated ... Maybe you should give him a bell to explain. He's quite approachable.

Still. I'd rather believe you than him, obviously.

Bonuses are part of the salary capayne that's why they stopped winning so many games, he also gets paid from Leeds RU as a "kicking consultant".

Must admit, I'm struggling to see how this could be Cas on the basis of what's been written here. Koukash has already cut loose at Salford, so I reckon the reference was probably to them (whether it is true or not).

Oh the irony!

Try posting without bypassing the swear filter, or not at all.

Indeed.

But if he puts lots of with his posts its all ok.

Sportinglife are reporting that he has signed Meli to a 140k contract! Bonkers, dread to think what he's paying Morley.
