Its all about performance per £ in the days of a salary cap.


Exactly.

If we knew their wages, it'd be an interesting debate as to who the best 'pound for pound player' is - someone at Leeds probably, given they won the title a full Greg Eastwood under the cap last year.

Yes ... Look at Paul Cooke and Chev Walker for example

How incredibly relevant in a comparison of Dobson and Orford.

Dobbo is a good s/h no arguments there..

Orford is an outstanding s/h however lets see how he adapts to our game..

Longy is a very good s/h however again lets see how he settles in with us..

I am sure the s/h debate will get plenty of discussion through the season.

I agree m8, your stand off can be the best in the world but if he doesn't fit he doesn't fit

It is. I just feel sorry for Joel Clinton, who wriggled out of his contract as the highest paid forward at his old club on £150k pa to join Rovers. Do you think he's had no income since he was released 2 1/2 months ago?

I'd imagine his bronco's payoff for the final year of his contract has helped

So the Broncos paid him his final year. £150k a year. That counts against the Broncos cap, presumably. And shows how keen they were to get rid.

Crikey, on that basis he'd be advised to stall his visa application and wait until the weather improves here. :wink: :lol:
