Good understanding of the cap.

I thought if a player didn't play a certain amount of games.. Like a loophole ??

If we pay him off ... That moneys gone for the season.

Seymours wage is already counted towards the cap. If we pay him off it doesn't mean his wage become available to spend again.

Even if his contract is terminated, for example for breach of it? Rather than the club itself just deciding they dont want him.

Must be a way?

After Masongate I thought anything is possible in RL!

The way I understand it, if a player is sacked, only their salary up until the point they were sacked counts on the cap. If a player is paid off (after the start of the season) their whole salary counts on the cap. I could be wrong, of course.

No your correct.

We could even agree a fee to terminate his deal.

Lets hope Brett is okay after his accident but comes to his senses and agrees a fee to walk away as there is no way back now

If somebody "walked" away from a couple of 100k would you say they've come to their senses?

haha not quite

How do you know that he's on that much although (he wont be on peanuts)?

I don't, I guessed.

way way out sheldon ,the names seymour not chase

I might be but I'd guess that 100k a season isnt that too extreme.

First of all I am glad Brett is out of hospital and hope he gets well soon.

Whatever people think about his performances he's always given 100% for Hull FC on the field and he deserves to be supported by the club.

It didn't work out for him at the weekend but, let's be honest, no-one covered themselves in glory. I still think given a steady run in the side alongside Holdsworth, and behind a pack that's going forward, he has the quality to do well.

I'd certainly pick him ahead of Heremaia and Nicklas in the halves and so whilst I don't necessarily think he's the long term answer at 7, I hope he makes a speedy recovery and at least gives Gentle an option later in the season.

Great post , agree 100%

That's the problem though he doesn't look as though he has been trying his hardest if anything he looks as though its the opposite and that he doesn't even want to be on the pitch anymore.

The main reason why people were so impressed with McGoldrick last season was down to how clear it was he was trying his hardest in everything he did and looked genuinely bothered.

I agree with this completely.

I hope that he makes a good recovery to whatever the problems are.

So far, he's put in some good performances and he's put in some bad performances for Hull FC. Initially, when he first came over, I thought that his performances were generally pretty good. However, the average has definitely gone down since then. However, I think that he has been unfair made a scapegoat and that people are going to games expecting him to do badly rather than putting their support behind him whilst he wears the black and white. There have been several players in recent weeks that have not pulled their weight.



This is a good point. The same went for Calderwood, too. Some people considered his signing a bit questionable but he ended up winning supporter's player of the year due to the fact that he would give 100% in everygame and would chase down every lost ball.

Unless we have not been told about the demise of A, B or C then I don't think D would know either.

I have no reason to think that Seymour would purposefully give less than 100%.

Unfortunately, if that is his 100% optimum level, then it s bye bye and good riddance. He wouldn't get in any other SL side barring Salford perhaps.

A girl in my school managed it at about 15mph the day after she passed her test, in some freak occurrence involving hitting the wheel (left turned out) of the parked car, right outside school.

Nothing was hurt except feelings. And the car.

Seemed to me on Saturday that he wasn't too bad up until he threw that speculator out, then just lost any confidence in himself and/or his ability. Then the harder he seemed to try to make up for that error the worse things got.

Just hope he's ok. He has ability but for some reason just can't seem to put it in on game day.

What do you mean it's bye bye and good riddance? the guy is under contract

just hasnt happened with us, still hope the bloke gets sorted and maybe a fresh start somewhere else
