There are some grand houses in Warrington



What's Carvell's hair got to do with anything?

It was a rubbish attempt at a sexist joke.

I don't think it's sexist to say he is under the thumb? He told the players he changed his mind about his contract because his other half was unhappy.

Is Hull still in the 1950s?

Have you ever heard a woman being described as "under the thumb"?

Quote GARRETH Carvell has joined Warrington Wolves for £55,000 ending his eight year spell at Hull FC. Carvell has signed a four-year contract worth £135,000 a year, a source close to the club revealed.

Simplifying things beyond beleif in some half d attempt at trolling. Kinda forgot to mention the situation with his agents didncha ????

£135,000 a year










Good riddance to the

who was trolling, you've paid £55k for a bloke that managed 9 games this season, and are going to pay him £135k a year, a fool and his money!

Yes, why? It's just not as common

£135,000 for a forward...jesus wept

An injury prone one too

i think hes right!

I woman shouldn't have time to be under the thumb, what with all the cooking and cleaning to be done!

Holy smoke £135k a year, at least wire have the 2 highest paid propbs in the world, sometine to boast about I guess?

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Never mind



4 year deal £135,000 a year

And of course the Hull Daily Mail is the fount of all wisdom when it comes to salaries paid to players. If we were to believe the various 'inside knowledge' tips we've had on Wire's payroll, we'd be spending twice the salary cap. Funny how we seem to have stayed under it again according to the RFL.

Can yell you he was definately on £120k a year with us, with a testemonial to come.

How will dwindling attendances and stalling hospitality/ sponsorship be budgeted for next season with relation to the salary cap?

Salary cap is a flat rate so dwindling anything won't affect our ability to spend if that's what you're alluding to. Not having the money might be an issue but I'm not concerned about that.

As an aside, there is also a possibility that no-one actually knows what Carvell is on although I appreciate most of our contract details are common knowledge.

And the official Wolves Website quotes the deal as three years, so we can already see the 'facts' getting questionable.

All I am giving you are the facts that I know, he had signed a 3 year £120K deal, he has been with us 8 years so was eligible for a testemonial in 2010, 3 years at £120K plus a testemonial (which averages about £100k) is £460K, so I'd imagine the £135 over the three years is not far off, his partner wanted a move away from Hull, his first choice was Saints but they would not pay a fee. Leeds and Bradford offered players in exchange but they were not of the calibre FC needed, so he has come to Warrington. He has played 9 games this season, 17 last season, he has ongoing injury problems, if you can keep him fit you will have a cracking front row, but it is a pretty big IF.

£135k is nothing to us. Don't forget most of our big name signings are on at least £200k, some on more than £250k. According to all those smart alecs out there that "know" these things anyway. Of course all this means our salary cap is something like £3million a year, but we obviously have ways round that.
