| At the moment a £1 buys $1.50 in Aus so if an Aussie wants $500,000 , which they can get here in Aus quite easily then we need to pay £330,000 pa !!!!! That is why some UK players are now in Aus as they get $500,000 and that is a LOT of UK pounds. So to get average Aus players over we pay over the odds. Also the salary cap here in Aus is higher in comparison to here.
Only 5 years ago it was nearly $3 aussie to £1 so we could pay an Aussie , like Barratt , £200,000pa and he would be RICH if he sent his money home etc
So , it is expensive to get a mediocre Aussie and I am not sure we are really even that excited about our new guys.
YOUTH is the answer and we MUST bulk up these 18-20 year olds and get them fitter , sharper and more skillful than they are now. We must think beyond the norm to do this and I HOPE Gentle has the answer

| I live in Auckland and go and watch the Warriors.
I know for fact Seymour was close to going back to an Austrailian club before FC came in for him.
Big money was waved in front of him to come to FC is my understanding.

I've got no doubt he'll be one of our top paid players but to pay one player a sixth or your cap would be a massive mistake.

| Seymoor surely wont be on any more than £120k a year and even that would be to much for the player IMO.

I doubt he has ever seen him play, but 125K will be about right and when you think that NRL reserve players like Dobson will be gettong more than that, it might not be a bad deal.
Really this is a pointless thread as nobody on here knows who earns what and how close we are to the salary cap limit,

| Well i believe Seymour is on a massive chunk and seen as nobody actually knows then it will remain my belief and i get this from the fact the exchange rate is poor, other clubs were in for him and we were desperate. He will no be on a miserly 125K even if people think that what hes worth and its just not worth coming afrom the best league in the world with its new salary cap to some to ty old England for what would probably be worse cash once you factor in the exchange rate.

How much do you think Seymour could demand in the NRL?

| Hasn't Tompkins just signed a new deal rumoured to be around 300K and makes him the highest paid SL player.
Surley no body thinks Seymour will be on anywhere near that.

No idea but there far fewer decent scrum halfs in SL than there is in the NRL making his worth much higher over here and dont forget this is Hull FC we were talking about and not some well run club

Not seen him play alot this season pal but I doubt you have either along with many others in England.

Yes, [uwhat has Seymoor proved over here in ESL?[/u'" Nothing, but what has Dobson proved in the NRL which is a higher level of competition than ESL?

I've no idea what salary he is on, neither have you.
I was pointing out your predictability re: Hull FC players.

| Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"Dobson doesnt have to prove anything over there, he plays here!!!!'" My point is Seymour has been a regular half back in the NRL for a number of years, Dobson wasn't good enough, why would Seymour command a lesser wage just because he hasn't played over here yet?

Fair point, the reason why Dobson will be on a very good wage is because he has proven to be the best scrum half in SL for a number of years(I know you guys wont agree with that but winning the the best player in his position a number of times kind of proves he is right up there).
TBF would Seymoor be likely to get another contract at a club in the NRL where he is likely to be first choice?
If he is getting around £120k over here, his agent has done a very good job.

Well I have said for the last 4 or 5 seasons that I have been less than impressed with your signings and looking at your league finishes in that time, your recruitment has been poor. I know pre season is a hard time for RL fans in general but its the bigging up of your team in those years that is kind of crazy, stuff like talk of top 4 finishes, biggest and toughest pack in the league etc your recruitment has not been anywhere near up to those standards.
So maybe thats why I dont 'big em up' like many on here.
I actually think FC have moved in the right direction this year, not just off the field but slight improvements on it too. Not sure your going to be much more competitive regarding a league finish this seson but its some of the foundations you have made off the field that will benefit the club longer term.

Once again, he doesnt need to, has been outstanding at all the clubs he has played for here in SL!
Came over on loan from what I remember and has shone ever since.
