I’m going to assume that last sentence is in response to my post on the “estimates”. Whilst I will openly admit not my best work; it was also not a post worth much consideration.
To reiterate, my two points were;
a) I don’t think Warringtons backs are particularly disproportionate or overblown compared to our backline for example (even if my comparisons were wildly off base individually).
b) guessing contract values is a pointless endeavour for all fans involved.
I have also (repeatedly) said the Williams signings with the outgoing seem perfectly reasonable and any suggestion of “cap shinanigans” is baseless at best and otherwise farcical.
i've just gone back to have a look, yours isn't too bad, its the nickles forearm post i was referring to.
The two i've highlighted, if he believes that then i dont want him measuring my carpet, he's either winding himself up or trying to wind the others up on there to have a pop at us.
there's no way that ratch is on 250k,some might over rate him, some might under rate him, he may not consistantly be the best fb in england but ththats stupid money there.
Likewise for naiqama mamo, we picked mamo up as a late off season cheap squad filler after mitch brown retired, there's no way there's any comparison in salaries,
The other thing i noticed this morning, someone stating that we came out and announced that austin wasn't a marquee signing when we signed him. I'm pretty sure it was the opposite.
I would guess that Williams isn't being classified as a marquee this year, we'll be taking full hit of his wages for the year, then when austin goes he'll be shifted to accomodate.
Again though, the three halfbacks thing, is interesting, when widdop is fit, you do wonder who's going to be left out, one would assume the easy option is to bench or drop austin completely.
OOOOOOOOOORRRRRR knowing price's tendancy to tinker needlessly, he could drop widdop to FB.
ratch to 13, though the last time we did that it didn't go so well, but it would also help out in terms of us being short on middles for the rest of the season.
Who knows, the Kr game wont tell us much, but the wigan game(unless we've got another one between then i've forgotten about) widdop should be back.
I am the hash browns of rlfans
