As I said "most of these players".mano wrote:Some of the player are only on 7k per season i bet you get more than that.
It was meant as a sarcastic dig that the players may have to pay for their own food.

SO they are part-timers on the books then? That's way below minimum wage.mano wrote:Some of the player are only on 7k per season i bet you get more than that.

The 7k is for fulltime
Re: Wigan RLFC Squad 2009 Spon...
so they are under 18 or under 19 on an apprenticeship then? Either that or their hours are much lower than than an average week - like about 20 hours a week to get a 7K salary on minimum wage of 5.73 per hour.
Just interested really.

No i am talking about 1st team sq.
Re: Wigan RLFC Squad 2009 Spon...
The young lads in the first team squad would be included in what Mano refers to. He knows more than I do.
From what I know the more academic ones go to College/University but as they reach the end of that stage then comes decision time.
The rest? Liam Farrel was laying cobbles for Wigan council, Sam T is a community coach.

According to the website, it's just a scoreboard flash.DaveO wrote: I just hope we don't have to put up with the sponsors name being mentioned when the teams are read out, substitutes are made or a player scores a try.

So it is part-time players then? That is player with another source of income if they want it.
Re: Wigan RLFC Squad 2009 Spon...
It depends Mike. Mano will be able to confirm this but strictly speaking the youngsters that make the first team are full time albeit on these very poor wages. Normally they are offered slightly longer contracts and the prestige of a first team sqd place and verbal promises re games etc and the emotional tie of representing their hometown club. Prior to becoming first teamers they either study or are sometimes found jobs that do not affect their training schedule. It is not run that way in Australia whereby every player who plays in their Toyota Cup competition U20's must be enrolled in a trade/profession/educational course or they cannot participate.
