Exactly. You don't walk away from hundreds of thousands of pounds for no reason. Salford may be paying him to leave, that's fine on the cap as he won't ever be registered next season so they can pay him off whatever they like to get rid of future years of his deal. They could also pay him next season at a reduced rate while he's with Leigh and again that's fine on the cap as he's not registered to them. No way would he have just walked away from a big deal like that.

Correct.

What makes it even more stupid is that you spend that money on two players that are prize bell-ends off the field. Was never going to end well...

I think with Sheens taking the reins the squad Salford will have next season will have a completely different make-up, cohesion, and direction.

I hope so. You would think if anyone can make Koukash see sense it's someone like Sheens. I've had a go at Koukash in the past but that doesn't mean I don't want Salford to thrive. I hope they become a huge club. A big RL club in the Manchester area would be fantastic for the game.

A deal has been done, Salford have allowed Chase to leave for FREE despite him having 2 years left on his contract as well as paying £115k for him. Also, how do you know he is taking a massive pay cut? AB Sundecks Ltd can more than afford those level of wages he was on at Salford.

If Salford are paying him anything while he's at Leigh that would still come out of Salfords salary cap. Otherwise every player would be paid £30k a year until they finish at that club and then get £200k after that.

I'd imagine Salford will be paying him something.
Obviously total guesswork but say he's on what's quoted by JGR.
If Leigh pay him a salary of say £100-120k with Salford paying him still approx £60k then Chase has only lost around £40k. Which if no other SL club is willing to take him is a decent deal for him when his stock has fallen so low compared to where it was.

Leigh are happy, they get a quality player.
Rangi's happy he gets a decent wage in an easier competition.
Salford are happy they get £160k spare on their salary cap for next season.

Championship referees are just sheeite really, and being that feel they have a better chance of living by cavorting the hordes gathering at the touchlines in Darkest Yorkshire. Keep the players apart and get a qptb would solve 99% and better prepare teams for the mid 8's

How many quota places do you get in the Championship?

Re: Leigh : Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:39 pm  

Good question.

And when you have registered up to your limit, does the RFL refuse if you try to register another?

I don't 'know' anything, I was asking a question. And AB Sundecks (whoever they are) can pay him what they want, but it would be on the cap, so unless the threat to ignore the cap is correct (hope the RFL are watching closely), he and all the other SL signings will need to be taking a cut (or the remaining squad will be on minimum wage).

Not sure but this season we only used 1 (Moimoi) so we have plenty room on that front. Also Mathias Pala but he's French so not sure that he counts towards the quota?

We can sign as many overseas as super league they changed the rules last season to help London and Bradford, anyway chase is English now Hansen as played he all his career off the quota, cory and reni count as oversea as does fui so when Weston comes that 3 on quota leaves us room for two big kiwi centres , cap what cap love to see the rfl challenge the right for a worker earn money in the united kingdom you'll thank Derek next year
