I’m think that’s obviously true. From the fans forum we were £114k shy of the cap this season due to G Burgess going and next season we have £223k left to spend (£150k for a half back before he then becomes a marquee player should Wigan find one of that quality + £73k left after that).

Then you look at the squads this results in and such star signings as Thornley who will be the only specialist centre in the team and what else can you conclude except Rads, who obviously runs the club for IL, is paying some players far too much money.
Bloody hell don't say that!

A certain individual will be catatonic at the thought of her "little cherubs" not getting loadsamoney because it's (a) a short career and (b) they are taking a real punishment from the physicality of the game

There's no doubt we have kept hold of far too many players who have come through the ranks who either were nothing much out of the ordinary or plain and simply put are bog standard championship standard. Now they've had their contracts upgraded by default (length of time/games played etc) we've seriously overspent on players who can barely get in the team (or probably shouldn't be anywhere near the first team). Then crying to the media when they have another who will soon be due a contract improvement - KPP for example
Back by demand.

If that’s a dig at me say it’s me! 🤨 instead of taking the pi**!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
