Maybe going PT is better financially for some with the SL reduced contract. That garden of roses Lenegan, Elstone etc promised us turned out well didn't it.

I think this is a big part of it. I've seen several signings where this was mentioned specifically in the press release, most recently with Kyle Wood at Halifax.

I think that SL wages have largely stood still over recent years, so squad players at SL teams are effectively worse off than they were a few years back. As they come towards the latter part of their careers, there must come a point where they are thinking that they are going to be better off starting their post-playing career and going P/T

Did I see that Joel Tomkins was 'doing an Elliot Kear' and joining the fire service? You can't blame players for doing this. It's a short career and apart from the very top guys they are just won't earn enough to not need a 'second' career

I think we'll start to see this more and more in coming years, even with 'name' players - unless more money comes into the game and the salary cap is raised.

Re: New Signings : Wed Nov 10, 2021 7:23 pm  

Think AJ will move to second row for you, mostly played prop for us. I really rate him, He's a good young player with plenty of explosive plays in him, looking forward to seeing how he develops.

Nichol...He's got a lot to work on, his discipline and error rate are really poor, Joe Burton was miles better at the same age.

Burton has yet to kick on but he looks to have some potential. Good luck to these two lads. As John Bastian always used to say the key to player development is to play games and not just be training all the time. Hopefully these two (and Burton) will get the opportunity either in the first team or in reserve grade.
