Interesting words from Wayne Bennett;
Trent Merrin contacted me last Sunday & said he was being pushed out of Penrith & they had a deal for him to play in England for the next few years. Trent said he would prefer not to go to England and he rang me looking for advice.

how many marquee signings can you make ? they must have made two at least up to press

Two is the limit. Interestingly, Leeds were totally against the marquee player rule firstly when it was only one player and were opposed to it again last year when it went up to two.

Tbf leeds have got rid of a lot of there big earners over last few years so might not be using the marquee rule.

Hall n Moon will of been big earners and they never signed big after Sinfield, Maguire, Burrows n Peacock left. I can only think of Watkins that will be on a big wage imo

Both Merrin and Hurrell are marquee players.

To be fair, it doesn’t really mean they are getting loads of cash. Could be on £150k but only count as £125k each.

You'd summise if they've left 400k contracts, then it must be something similar, even though it's a longer contract.
