Even if we take AP as gospel when he insisted we spent the basic cap limit of £2.1 million (Sky said we were at 1. for the 2024 squad that’s still a full million pound less then Wigan who maxed out all the exemptions at 3.1 million with Wire and Catalans not far behind at supposedly at 3 million.
I’m not suggesting we spent £3 million on wages as that clearly wouldn’t be sustainable for us especially if we have a big dip in crowds next year but yeah going off the ins and outs so far you’d think we should have loads of wriggle room on the salary cap if needed.
Like you say if we don’t have space on the cap we obviously aren’t using the exemptions sensibly or getting general ‘value’ on the cap compared to other teams. I think it’s quota places and maybe how we jiggle marquee spots that are a bigger obstacle to spending rather then the salary cap, and being skint obviously doesn’t help either.

Not a chance we spent 1.8 million on players this year. He’s just a serial liar.

I'm not so sure, if the rumours are true, Sao, Trueman and Carlos were on about 500k. I also got told how much Morgan Smith was on (not sure how accurate it was) but if true it would make you cry.
I honestly think Smith and Clarke just thrower money at player, probably the reason the likes of Walker and Sutcliffe ate going.

He said £2.1 million, it was Sky who said they did the research and it was 1.8, AP wasn’t happy at that and even mentioned legal action
Either way whoever’s figures you use and even if Hull/AP admitted they wanted a season well under the cap to balance the books (quite reasonable in the circumstances) it’s still been horrendously managed when you consider London are spending 1.4 and Salford and Cas 1.7.

Completely agree, he’s either a liar or the cap was mismanaged even worse than we thought. I was told he was adamant we’d spent 2.1m which is just insane if true.
