Ones I can think of that would fall in this bracket are

lynch
langley
sykes
halley

with maybe burgess twins,addy or o'brien sneaking in after there contract extensions last year and this year respectively

That we (and other clubs) are effectively forced to hold on to players who are both average and have negligible value brings into question the effectiveness of the rule. One can safely and logically, assume that it is to generate additional quality England eligible RL players.

In this case, it doesn't. Not even close to.

Factor in the farcical expected salary rise in eligible home based players and the salary cap concept becomes slightly ironic.

It doesn't have to be 25 top earners, just the 1st team squad of 25 we submit to the RFL, any players outside of this we have to ask to use them IIRC. So you could probably add Addy, Donaldson and Southenwood as home grown players likey to be in the 25.

think after re-reading rules a couple of times your right. Im mixing up the 25 man squad we submit to RFL as 1st team squad which counts for quota rules with the 25 top earners which counts toward salary cap rules.
