this whole "he's not costing much in the salary cap so is a good signing" stance is fine if he wasn't one of our first choice options. We won't sign another half so are depending on him being available. I've lost count of how many seasons have been ruined by us not having fit halfbacks and playing hookers, centres etc. there. Our most successful recent period was when we had sneyd available pretty much every week.
Unfortunately, we seem to be the worst team in SL for signing half backs who are always injured.

Year after year we pin our hopes on players who can't get regularly on the pitch in the most critical position in the team and I have no confidence that abdul will suddenly shake off his injury problems and pay more than about half the games next year. Compounded by trueman and waker also being in our spine

Quote: Dave K. "The key is the quality of quota players we sign, we need 7 the quality of Ese Ese or better.'" '"
I get what you are saying but I think that would very difficult given salary cap limitations.
I agree though after signing solid domestic players mainly due to the timing of the investment the quality of the quota players is absolutely crucial.

| Quote: Dave K. "What if we signed Clifford again and he breaks his leg pre season. As another poster has said, Abdul had a very disrupted pre season due to off field issues and has only missed one game this season, which is better than justvabout every player in our squad.'"
Broken legs can happen to any player. Clifford would offer more than Abdul. Clifford actually criticised training for being too easy - do you think Abdul would do the same?

I'd bet that Ockunbor and Ese Ese are probably on around the same monet, both similar NRL profile last couple of years.
Carlos will be on more than both two. Think we will have a massive amount to play with

I hope so but given where we are at the moment we may have to pay over the odds in terms of salary and length of contract like we did with Asiata.

Clifford doesn't want to be at Hull, Abdull does so it's a no brainer.

Different regime for next year though isn't it. The players might be having an easy time now. Sounds like Cartwright will put a rocket up them when he gets here in a few months

Can't believe how many people are getting obsessed with this, just a bit of derby banter, he could probably stay at Catalans, stay at Rovers and sure he would have other options, but he has choose us.
People also need to read the new marquee rules, he could be 60k and be the local marquee player, it doesn't mean he is on massive money.
I've no doubt he will be good money, like he was at Rovers and probably why they want him off cap. But it won't be just down to money.
He was picked for England and top of the MOS points at some point last season.

Who cares what he said? I'm more bothered about his fitness and how many games he'll end up playing
