I also asked about the players WCC shirts being auctioned off to raise money for the flood victims in Oz.

He didn't know what had happened to that & that they had had an extra set made. Will get back to me on it.

May have already been mentioned :blush: The club have taken out the option on Tommy's contract which keeps him at the club until the end of 2012. Ending the speculation that he will go the the NRL at the end of the season.

Personally don't think Tommy will go, he loves it here & he has been playing first team rugby in the UK for about 8 or 9 years & also has too many ties here to just up sticks

Depending on how we progress in the CC, the club will make between £75,000 &£200,000 at the end of the season compared to a loss of three quarters of a million in 2007 when Mr Lenegan took over.

A club makes more from CC games than the the play-offs. May have already said this earlier :blush:

Sorry, that should have said a loss in 2007 when Mr Lenegan took over :blush:

Did I hear correctly about the salary cap after 8 years of service only 50 percent of a players wage counts on the SC and after 10 years zero.

Yes, that's right Jaws, that's why Lockers isn't counted in the salary cap :)

So is this for any player that has been at the club for ten years - or are we only allowed one player that is not counted?

Disappointed that George is retiring - was hoping that he might stay as cover for another year.
