Who's Mitch Achurch?

Anyone else pick up the tone of his comments - basically saying the players are doing all they can and putting in the effort, it's up to the coach to fix it.... No love lost there...

Anyhow - he's one of the top earners at the club, and has failed to deliver value for money... Once he's gone, we can pay the big money for a player with more impact or for the same amount of money he's being paid, we could get at least 2, probably 3 young English lads who'd each offer more....

As you know how much he earns please do tell

After his act of cowardice at Catalan last season is it any wonder McDermott does not rate him. There is a good player in there somewhere but we are not gonna see it at Leeds. Needs to develop a backbone and grow a pair !

I find it difficult to believe Achurch (with little NRL first grade experience) would be one of the top earners at the club. Not unless GH mislaid his legendary parsimony for a split second during the drawing up of a contract. He's nowhere near a six figure salary IMO and probably closer to 50k.

Don't know exact, but Im led to believe it's over £120k! One long term sponsor (who I believe may also be involved in the board room) of the club gave away general details when having a bit of a rant amongst close friends and family one day....

Not sure what GH was thinking, but I reckon he's been sold a dud by someone who he's previously relied on for good Intel from Oz...

Phil Gould at the time said Achurch got a "ridiculous" offer that Penrith couldn't compete with. I'm led to believe he actually *is* on 6 figures.

Gus Gould said live on air before Achurch came to us that he had an offer made from Penrith but had opted to join Leeds in the SL on a 4 year deal for what he described 'a kings ransom' he couldnt turn down.I suppose Gus would know given his links to the Panthers.

beat me too it that always stuck in my mind as i watched the game to check Achurch out.

I think Gus actually called it 'crazy money' in a game when Achurch was playing for the Panthers after he'd signed with Leeds..
