Not meant as a criticism or anything but do you actually know this or are you just guessing?

what do you think doc , makes me laugh

Miller may change opinion but the others yes, few others borderline too. Doubt it if you want but see how many of them here next year or out live there current contracts

I was questioning Jake on the size of the contract's they are on, not whether we should keep them or not.

He's right and that's why we won't be keeping them!! Both are related if we wanna do some decent business and bring in high quality players

How do you know the size of the contracts though? That's what I don't understand. As far as I am aware that is not public knowledge.

EDIT: I'm not saying you're wrong by the way. I'm just curious about where these contract details have come from.

Cos I've a good network of friends for finding stuff out who happen to know people in and around the club including coaches former coaches players journalists etc. Also personal friends with a fair few players at our club and at other clubs (via agents and sharing of agents, players from other clubs often know plenty about other teams players!)
A lot I take with a pinch of salt and try account for Chinese whispers, but obviously depending on the source some are more believable than others. a lot of people know we've thrown silly money about and coach needs to free money to do what he'd like/needs to do to make the team he wants

Does anyone seriously believe that Rankin, who was signed under the current regime, will be on less than Miller?

Just because we've got rid of McRae doesn't mean stupid decisions haven't been made. Two of our best players this year were signed by the previous regime.

I know

Never question me, you'll only end up apologising at some point

i know and speak to a players agent every week and am i would say on friendly term, there is no way on earth he would tell me any facts about players wages etc, yes i get told snippets about news like arundel playing on the wing tues, imo it wouldnt be common knowledge about wages etc, but hey ho thats just my opinion

Nobody knows how much any players on, but you can get a fair idea on a few. It's not difficult to imagine the likes of McDonnell, Miller & Rankin being on 6-figure salaries, same with Ellis & Paea. Generally, British players are a lot harder to judge, and I doubt the likes of Pitts and Arundel are on vast amounts but either of them being on £50k+ does not represent value for money IMO.
