And to put things into perspective, you're talking about somebody who never really made it beyond that reserve grade, yet because he's done well over here is somehow more proven in your eyes.

Let me just see if I'm understanding your reasoning properly. If, for example, Leeds were to have signed Ryan Hinchcliffe to replace Buderus, he should be commanding less money than Lincoln Withers? Likewise if Ben Roberts comes over to SL he should be earning less than Blake Green?

Don't know if it's already been posted/mentioned but -

James Smailes on Twitter:-

"With up £100,000 extra to spend on the salary cap & a quota place burning a hole in their pocket, will Hull FC add another player to squad?"

The spare cap shouldn't be allowed to be used like that.

Agreed or if you lose players because of money then its your own fault

The new rules may change things?

would rather improve and extend briscoes' contract than bring in anybody else at the moment

What was said on ssn?

I would agree but contract means nothing in sport nowadays.

Pretty much what the poster above said , All a bit sketchy atm. RFL not giving out to much info about it either.

more like contracts mean nothing to players agents in sport these days

Unless they already had a wage and quota spot reserved for someone else to come in.

Agree with what Sheldon has said about the cap been used like Smailes suggest. We should be using the money to tie Welham, Watts, Taylor, Cox and Green to long terms deals and you should use it to do the same for Houghton and Briscoe along the lines of the deals that Hudds have given to their talent.

I do agree

but you can guarantee most clubs will throw the money at some average Aussie instead.
