Nothing new in a HDM story lacking clarity I'm afraid.

Paul Baxter, Sports Editor, has said in the HDM comments, in answer to that very question, "We checked that with the RFL yesterday. They said it was fine to have payments differing over two seasons as long as the total salary cap doesn't exceed £1.65m at any stage"

Even when Hudgell has openly said that they're paying over the odds on a number of contracts? It might be unlikely, but not unbelievable IMO.

with fitz, fozzard, gene, esders and aizue leaving and just cook, hodgson and ratu signed i agree. unless they've been some pretty big up grades.

I would agree , there will be improved contacts for some but the players leaving would have collectively been bigger earners than those currently brought in.

But if Rovers were almost at the cap last year, would the net saving really be much more than £100k, after taking into account upgrades for people like Fox?
iirc, NH in his online discussion said something along the lines of having to balance the cap and changes to the squad meaning players out as well as in.
Sheldon hasn't included the 'ins' of Beaumont, Taylor and Mariano. Won't be on huge money individually (nor will Esders or even Aizue though), but between them it'll tot up.

I'd forgotten about the three stepping up to the first team. As you say it all adds up.
