Quote ="Dave K."It's all about getting value for money with the salary cap, for example say Welham is on twice as much as Salter (I reckon he could be more on his old deal), is Welham twice as good as Salter?
I suppose both your new centres have potential to be better than Welham or at least that is what Chester believes, whilst it's very unlikely that Welham will improve enough to be a top centre.'"
All of the above is true, of course, and it seems that we're having to balance the salary cap within the squad. I just feel that, salary cap benefits aside, we'll be weaker in the centres in 2016 than we were in 2015. Unless there are more signings to come in the centres but that doesn't sound likely. To me, this doesn't bode well for the clubs public ambition of being comfortably in the top 8 next year.
