The same reason we do every season. Buffer in case we get injuries and need to recruit someone extra mid-season. You can’t do this before the season starts as it may be in a position you don’t expect.Tigerman2014 wrote:We must have some space for a quality back, why would we leave a quota space free and let JY go ?!?

A few posts ago you mention recruitment being paramount to you, but in raising these points you’re effecfively waving the white flag, for even ‘good’ recruitment 2019 at least anyway.HuddsTigers wrote:That salary will already be accounted for with the increased contracts handed out this season for the likes of Milner.

How about exchanging Springer for the Toulouse centre Centrone

We are upto the cap for next season barring some money spare for a squad player - this was said about a month back by another poster on here. We have no room to manoeuvre other than that. Planning for the next season started as soon as Jan/Feb 2018, so we will already have known where we need to make savings and/or what money we have to play around.
As such, the money from releasing players such as Webbo will already have been swallowed up to accommodate those new contracts and deals for players we've signed up such as Milner, whose values will have increased as a result of demand in their services and also our successful season.
Therefore, we will not have any more money spare for additional signings unless we've made any earlier in the season that we're waiting to announce, in which case they will already have been taken out the pot of money we knew we had left or spare.
We're going to have to offload players or renegotiate some contracts if we want to make further signings for 2019 outside of any already made.
In terms of my comment regarding recruitment, I was referring to recruitment for 2020, not next season. We have a few players with big money coming off contract at the end of next season, as well as a few squad players and then a few fringe players. This is the list taken from the other thread for 2019:
Shenton
Roberts
Minikin
Cook
Springer
Clark
Massey
Maher
Gill
Egodo
Aston
I'd imagine that these lot account for around £500k of our spend. I think we'll offer deals to Shenton (reduced terms), Massey, Clark and Cook, and possibly Minikin. Clark and Minikin may demand higher terms.
That leaves questions marks over Roberts, Springer, Maher, Gill, Egodo, Aston, which is probably around £220k plus whatever is saved from the renewals if anything. I'd probably be looking at another first choice prop and outside back from that pot for 2020, if we don't re-sign all the above. Can't see us going for a half to replace Roberts when we have Trueman and Ellis.
Anything remaining from that pot can be spare for the season, new recruits or go on renewals such as Trueman from the OOC end 2020 list.

Re: New players for next season?
Going back to Powells piece in today's trade paper he says he dosnt think there will be anymore new signings for next year so if people are expecting new centres it's likely to be minikin and foster
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

Re: New players for next season?
It that’s not to say we’ve not already signed someone and just not names them yet. If one of Minikin or Foster are to be named as one of our starting centres for 2019, I will be disappointed.tigerfeat wrote:Going back to Powells piece in today's trade paper he says he dosnt think there will be anymore new signings for next year so if people are expecting new centres it's likely to be minikin and foster

Re: New players for next season?
To be clear, I have no knowledge of any signings and my interpretation and understanding is that we're running with what we've got.tigerfeat wrote:Don't know mate maybe that's what hudds tiger was hinting at
However, I thought there was an interesting quote from DP in today's trade press (think it was LW). "We're not going to be signing too many players so we've got to find a way".
That indicates that there may be a signing or two in the pipeline ready to be announced without going all out. However, I wonder if after Friday's debacle, him and Wells will reassess the squad and try and free up some cap space and freshen up the squad a bit.

Re: New players for next season?
Bit concerning if we’re up to Cap already makes me think we’re spending a bit too much on the bit part players eg Aston , Ellis etc. There’s lots of quality options out there for a centre I just think we’ve lacked a bit of punch in the backs we’re nearly there with Peanut at fullback just need a strong centre

Thats really going to sell 2019 seasons tickets. 2020 we will have the same team that's bottled the last 2 seasons big games but dont worry we will be top 5 though.tigerfeat wrote:Going back to Powells piece in today's trade paper he says he dosnt think there will be anymore new signings for next year so if people are expecting new centres it's likely to be minikin and foster

Re: New players for next season?
Sooner get shut of him and bring in Toulouse centre or wing Centrone.,why on earth did they bring in Green and Aston and still give contracts of the size they did to Springer and Maher and hardly play them come on DP surely there are openings to do some wheeling and dealing somewhere .the machine wrote:Rather play gadwin at centrewesterbeast wrote:Stefan marsh moving from Widnes it's been announced, hope we go for him.

Re: New players for next season?
My take is that we've released Jy to free up a quota spot. Which means somebody is lined up to take said spot. Otherwise Jy would have been given an extension as he's right at the bottom of the wage list and good value for what he's getting.

Re: New players for next season?
I am all for producing out own but surely we are going to utilise our quota spot for a quality centre or winger !!

Re: New players for next season?
Or they released him to free up a quota spot in case anyone comes available mid-season a la Kenny Edwards.

Re: New players for next season?
I thought they'd released him so we could sign matautia? Qlt taking Lo's spot so we had to release
Jy for matautia. Or loan him to Bradford for rest of season. We are now in a situation that qlt will be released by all accounts and Jy will be released. So 1 spot remains.....
