Paying a huge salary for a forward who was playing in the second division in 2022? What could possibly go wrong? Warrington-esque...

Both Amone and Asiata are great players - regardless of where they were playing in 2022. Both more than good enough to take their place in a Warrington 13.

That said the club has put its faith in Nicholson for 13 so I can’t see them. Bringing in Asiata who will bd 32 in 2025. Amone would be a good option if they could pull it off, but can’t see it.

I mean it in the context of players of that standard demanding bigger salaries than they're worth. I'm sure you'd agree that Warrington are the masters at over-paying their players. It's a culture that we're hoping stops with Burgess / Chambers.

I don't know what individuals are paid. Do you? If so how do you find out and check against what other clubs pay?

Makes sense as it's his and his Familys home, but would love to see him here, while still at his best, rather than on the inevitable decline.

He would be 34 by the time he comes back to the UK if he does play in NRL for 2025. Would still have a couple of good years in him.

Saints pre-season in Cyprus.
Yesterday…
Daryl Clark and Hurrell had a bust up.
Saints tried to keep a lid on it.
Clark jokingly referred to Hurrell’s inclination, who took offence.
Players got involved and Clark allegedly stuck nut on an academy lad.

Hurrell's inclination?
