Well that's true Weighman. Not our business to know what they individually get paid but a lot of the players only get match terms and only get paid if they get picked to play, so they work hard for it! The the 'Big' names are not going to come and play for a Champ 1 side for the love of it and will always get picked, because of their name, so they don't have to work as hard.. See what I mean

With 18 players signed (including one who may not play) I would expect another 6, maybe 7 signings.

I could see a couple more being from last season's squad but can't help thinking that unless the club is about to 'pull some rabbits out of hats' in terms of the strength and depth of the squad, we could struggle to replicate last season's top four finish.

Well Carl has hinted at overseas players & young players from SL clubs .

We cannot match the spending power of Toronto so it is all about the 2nd promotion spot AGAIN !

And they have just signed [Toronto that is] Richard Whiting.
As you say we can't match that i would think.

Liam Welham has signed a new one year deal for 2017.

Daniel Hirst and Matty Welham released to return to the amateur / community game.
