Winning trophies means money that can be added to each players salary without it being part of the cap. When you add up the costs of full support for a degree and other educational options open to players plus benefits that can be excluded out of the SC it can add up to a lot. I'm also sure that the Hetherington's are astute in their ability to make any given player's salary stretch just that little bit further with some cunning juggling of the accounts and advice on how to pay as little tax as is possible.

Thought watts was a bit better tonight.

Fancy talking about Watts on a Rhinos wages thread

He certainly seemed to play with more confidence and not glaring at the ref. Wasn't Feka down to play instead?

Still gave away a stupid penalty lifting the tackled players leg and Wakey scored straight after

Thought Watts was very good last night,ran hard,made very good metres and tackled well.

Not sure how it came across on the radio but their try was a failure in basic defence by one of our youngsters. We gave away loads of penalties particularly in the second half. I suppose one positive was at least that we defended the rest of them.

He cert looked like his old self. But we still look laboured IMO. Got to lift it for next week and I think.we will

Radford has an OK record in getting teams up for the derby. I think Rovers will win, mind.

God forbid!!!

I think we'll lose the next 3

Hull will win the derby well, but then lose the next few after that.
Pressure will increase on Radford again, just in time to pagger the Dobbins again and get a new deal

win 2 out of 3
