Sutcliffe, Dwyer, Mellor, Thompson, Briscoe, Broadbent, Mustapha have all left the club.

Austin, Gannon, Oledzki, O’Connor improved their contracts, plus others. Fusitua full wage will be included next season.

Ruan, McDonnell, Hooley, Warren, Sangare have come in, plus expected Derrell Olpherts, Nene MacDonald and Luis Roberts.

I do wonder how our cap is managed myself, there must be quite a few of biggies on there

Why haven't they been announced by now if they are coming ? There's no reason under normal circumstances why it would be delayed so I do wonder if that was the plan but now it's changed with the Walker/Hardaker situation.

if you look at those that have gone against those that have confirmed as coming in, there's no way in hell the new guys are on as much as those 4 regular 1st teamers that left. not even close. Fusitua must be on a fortune. Bad bad business if so.

Purely a guess from my side:

Savings
Sutcliffe - £100k
Dwyer - £80k
Mellor - £80k
Thompson - £70k
Briscoe - £70k
Broadbent - £30k
Mustapha - £30k

That's £460k off the cap, as well as Gale before the season started which must be at least another £100k. So, £560k off the cap.

Costs
Austin - £10k
Gannon - £20k
Oledzki - £20k
O'Connor - £30k
Fusitua - £100k
Ruan - £30k
McDonnell - £50k
Hooley - £40k
Warren - £30k
Sangare - £80k

Total additional spend from new players and upgrades £410k. That lease £150k spare cap space....

No way Muiz, and Broadbent were on 30k. And no way Mellor was on 80k.

Didn't Newman and Martin also sign new deals?

Connor going to The Giants by the looks. I’d say that could mean Zak ends up at FC. There’s a case to argue we should be signing both of those players for 2023 and it’d leave us the quota spot for if something comes up in the pack.
There’s obvious business we just don’t seem to be doing Connor would be perfect for us at the moment

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Fri Oct 14, 2022 11:56 am  

Connor is out until August anyway, apparently

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Fri Oct 14, 2022 12:02 pm  

When the 20/20 rules were in place, the Cap was £1.6M, meaning the average wage for those in the 20 was £80k.

Even if JB and MM were on £20k each that’s a £20k difference. They can’t have been on less. Mellor wouldn’t have left Giants for a pay cut so must have been on or close to £80k.

Signing a player (who is known to sulk and be a flat track bully) and who is injured with a serious injury is not a perfect signing for us in any way shape or form

Yeah don't think you're likely to be far off there.. whichever way you look at it, there's surely surely decent cap space. It doesn't add up what Rohan said....

We won’t be bringing in Hardaker.
Already well stocked at full back and centre.
