Carlos is allegedly on a very decent wage, 140k+ which on a four year deal for someone who was already starting to pick up injuries is crazy. Hopefully the DOR can get on top of things.

I cannot see how anybody with no connection with Hull is going to invest significant funds in to the club with the prospect of little or no return. Disappointed.

james webster the journeyman as DOR

I mean id question any fans sanity if they think this is a quick fix.



The only thing that can be hoped for is "jam tomorrow" I think alot of people got excited in the past 24 hours and was expecting a billionaire to come through the door....



Things take time but a director who will take care of Rugby related stuff is only a good sign because since we lost Motu we jave got worse and worse.

He also said 20/25% of our cap sat on the sidelines in Carlos and Truey so at “2.35 million”, that’s £470,000k on just them two players. I think someone is telling porkies somewhere.

But can we trust Pearson to make the right appointments?



So far he's hired McRae, Gentle, Motu, Radford, Hodgson, Smith. Personally I'd only say Motu an outright success in his role, Radford of course won 2 cups but there were average to poor seasons surrounding that.

Maybe we cant trust him, but even a player whose played league one all his life is better qualified then Pearson and Clarke on Rugby matters.

I don't understand how Trueman and Carlos can make up 25% of the cap.

Somebody above posted that means roughly £500k between them, so £250k each.

Marquee players only have £150k of their salary count on the cap, so only £300k of their salaries should count on the cap which isn't equivalent to 25%.

Or we idiotically haven't officially made them marquee players and are losing out on £200k worth of cap space because of that.



Or, Pearson is telling a load of bull and they're both not actually earning that much and as we all believe ourselves, we're not at, or close to, the full cap.

I think it’ll be latter. If they are on 300k between them, then 20% of 1.5 million cap spend is 300k. So he either got his percentages wrong or the salary cap spend wrong. I know what my moneys on.

It's gotta be that. They may be on 20/25% of what we are actually spending (which is still absolutely ridiculous) but there is surely no chance at all they both make up 20% of the 2.1m salary cap.

I didnt listen to the interview but surely the interviewer called him out on that and asked for further explanation?



Not able to quote reply people at the moment for some reason.

Misinterpreted the 20% i believe. No way Trueman and Tuimavave are on 400k+ between them. I believe he meant, we are missing 20-25% of cap each week. 40% missing for saints game

Don’t spoil it
