Quote: His Bobness "No it would not make Chev Walker a free agent.

He would only be a free agent if Rovers paid him off and terminated his contract.

Before the start of the season clubs must send a list of 25 players who will be registered and therefore available for first team selection.

Chev Walker will undoubtedly NOT be on that list assuming he is going to miss large part of the season.

The salary cap is only for the 25 players submitted to the RFL so Rovers could continue to pay Chev Walker and he wouldn't count for salary cap purposes.

If Chev is fit to play at some point next season Rovers could then de-register another player to allow Chev to play. Chev's wages would then be part of the cap again but not the money he earned whist unregistered.'"




Comment to Clause 6.1.2It is not enough to trigger this Clause if a Club terminates a contract
with a Player simply because the Player has a serious injury that will take a long time
to heal properly (eg a broken leg or knee reconstruction).
6.1.4 Where the proposed transaction is a termination of a Playing Contract in
accordance with Clause 6.1.2, but in circumstances where such termination
takes place prior to the first Salary Cap Relevant Match of the relevant Salary
Cap Year, provided such termination is approved by the RSCM, the Player’s
original Salary Cap Value shall thereafter be disregarded for purposes of
calculating the Club’s Aggregate First Tier and/or Aggregate Second Tier
Liability.

LARRY DAVID "We're told the customer is always right when in fact the customer is usually a moron and an a**hole" It annoys me "when people don't follow societies unwritten rules":26697.jpg



Think he'll do well for you, the reason Leeds didn't keep him is I assume because we rate Watkins as a better long term prospect. Though ATM Ratu looks a more natural centre than young Kallum

"Dream Big..Work Hard".................. Sarah Storey, Paralympic Legend.:

Quote: knocker norton "I must say from my point of view which academy or reserves team finished higher isnt the ultimate goal at all.

The whole idea of the lower grades is to provide future super league players surely?

Therefore you could sign the best u17 team in the area but not their star player. Hence you will have the better 'team' but not the star player.

We all know few players actually make the grade so it could be argued that signing good players is all well for the academy results but signing very good players you stand more chance or producing the next super league star.'"



The best player at 16 years of age isnt necessarily going to be the best player at 21 though is he? History i littered with teenage prodigys who dont make the grade. Lets hope Louis Sherriffe isnt one of them...

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...:

I agree you are always going to get late developers and players who simply lose interest but my point about highlighting the top players stands IMO.

I know, and my point about Rovers signing the best player at that age group also stands,

Good signing.
Young, British and coming from the best club for youth development in the country.
The fact Leeds wanted him to go out on loan for a year rather then sign for another club speaks volumes.
Gives us 3 options at centre for next season along with Webster and Kris Welham.

Yes same team as Reece Lynne, both very good players and great prospect however like mentioned they can be awesome at 16 but not make the cut in big boy rugby..

Yes, one of the big 3 prospects along with Lynne and Ollett.

Don't worry. Liam Welham is leaving for Fev, not Kris!

Was that the centre who cant pass? icon_wink.gif To be fair to him though, at that level he didnt have to...
Seriously though, if they keep their heads screwed on and are properly coached and guided by the 2 clubs then all 3 have a great chance to make it, along with one or two others from that side.

Quote: Willa "Briscoe has proved his talent by being in the england squad. Turner got Young Player of the year in a SL side not a reserve side so there are differences'"


I've got no issue with Tom Briscoe at all, I think he is a huge talent and if not for his injury, would probably been your best player easily. Jordan Turner? Do me a favour. Salford were a SL side in name only. Leeds reserves are a better team than Salfords 1st XIII

Quote: Stan Butler "He got greedy, came back and begged, and was told to fook off.

What has he gained by going to Rovers??

Paying players above their capabilities will bite you in the arris as it has us over the last few years.'"


All you have done is come on here and be negative. You have made no constructive comments at all. Regarding Briscoe, he has established himself as an international and the best English full back since joining Rovers. Also the guy who was supposedly his superior has turned out to be a crock and been released.
