Taken out of context my post may be "an affront", if anyone was offended I apologise. I just don't see the "risk v reward" for having crowds at games as things are, we can social distance in shops etc. and the risk is reduced because we are not in there long and outside we are moving around, to get social distance once people have sat down is easy (ish) if it was SP holders only and they only sat in every fourth seat on every other row, but how do they social distance getting in and out etc.

Armavinit I guess you read it the same as me then. no place on a public forum that comment, hopefully the mods will remove it.

Wynn & Johnstone better than Shaul & Houghton ???? We really have been away toooooooooooo long !

Straight swap would really weaken us, lets not pretend otherwise. Both would need backup recruiting & guess what, their contracts will undoubtedly be linked to appearances. So 20 appearances will probably double their money anyhow.

Suggest we leave the finances to those who are paying the bills.

IMO the backlash against Club Hull is overstated. Fully agree that both have some limitations but both are extremely solid with many qualities, better tactics & coaching could well turn them into world beaters. For me our Number 8 is the most disappointing of the ClubHull contingent, yet nobody seems to give him any stick ?

You missed my point, Shaul and Houghton may want to move on now Radford’s gone, I said “if they can get better deals elsewhere, so be it”. The last part of final paragraph was tongue in cheek.

Total RL reporting Toronto targeting four major signings for 2021.

Stevie Ward?, Ben Flower?, Ryan Hall?, Danny Houghton?

I don’t subscribe so those are just guesses from what I’ve heard previously.

Sonny Bill’s contract will count for full surely next season, £150,000 only for the first year, as a recruit from Union? Got to be some really cool salary cap juggling for those signings to happen?

Theyll be using the marquee rule for Sonny Bill, so his full salary will never count.

Shaul signed a new deal , suppose it depends who was available But I’d have looked elsewhere. And on stupid money , for a non international , his agent has done him well .

He'll do for me, highly underrated at times. As a matter of interest how much will he be earning?
