Not to mention Saints losing Jammer to the NRL.

doesn't some of wonderboy Tomkins' wage not count on the salary cap? Sure I read that somewhere.

Should be allowed for homegrown talent at all clubs imho, if it is true.

Alternatively, we could employ Briscoe's girlfriend as a receptionist for about £100k p/a

This is correct.


It already is.

AFAIK, money is not the issue with Briscoe anyway.

They need to sign to replace Peacock and Kylie. Ward is being lined up to replace one of other three as is Briscoe I think.

So what you're saying is, we're losing a top player but have another who might be just as good (or better) coming through the system to replace him? A bit like the top clubs do?

just found an article, it's only for clubs that produce England ETS and Knights players, is that all clubs anyways? What I was saying is it should be for young talent, at all clubs - obviously money won't be an issue for a few, probably most, of them but it would still make a difference.

It is for all clubs and its used so clubs promote youth.

Shouldnt you be in hiding

I am Hutchie,behind me keyboard
Anyhows back on topic glad to see him go,usually is always in the right place at the right time against us !
Be interesting to see if he makes it down under !

And yet here you are gobbling off about something you don't have enough 'spare time' for.

Hes a young kid, i dont think people realise how young at times dues to this being his 6th seaon in the first team.

He has flaws in his game, which players dont have

And if it dont work out, he would walk back into any SL team ,, i have no doubts on that

and he'll be 26/27 when (if) he comes back

he'd be daft not to go imho

I agree with this Tom's a great player and when he returns they'll be an whole host of clubs wanting his services.

He's a massive loss to Hull but what a great oppportunity for him to test himself against the best, I've got no doubt he'll do himself proud and develop even more into a complete player.
