I kind of understand Bateman getting his own thread for his transfer... But unless I am missing something very obvious, not quite sure this is in the same area.

Why are GV giving game time to a Donny player? Are they in L1 next season? This is a low level amateur club giving game time to a semi pro player. I doubt they can afford to pay him so what’s in it for GV?

Well, they're a "low level amateur club" that are getting a semi pro player on dual registration for however long.

I am guessing that's what is in it for GV.

   Often happened in the old days players playing for their local amateur sides under permit.One Sunday game i played in on the other side was a centre who had played for Wakefield against New Zealand less than 12 months earlier.He must have been out Sat night because he played no better than the other lads from both sides.

What league do Goole currently play in? Surely this is a little unfair on their opponents?

Could it be that RFL are requiring them to gain promotion via the NCL leagues? So they are start their push to clim their way up to League One? (eventually)

No offence but IMO Goole Vikings are a bit beneath Tom Halliday. He’d be better off playing for Toll Bar or Bentley where he’d be at least repping a club in the Doncaster area.

Bizarre. Surely he could be having a run out for a league 1. Assume he lives near Goole and is just keeping fit, though is it worth Goole paying his match fee (presumably £500-1000) just for the privilege

Not sure even the RFL would ‘require’ actual on-field promotion all the way from YML division 4 to League 1.

At a guess for part time players in the championship. Some will be on guaranteed payments on top but not all.

I'd say as a newly promoted team Doncaster aren't paying big bucks.

He does live nr Goole & his brother play for Vikings

He's from Goole. Still very much part of The Dons plans but ATM Briscoe and Faraimo are fit and playing well.

Tom's on a contract but I doubt we're charging Goole. They are under our development group of "ambassador clubs" which covers quite a large area including Immingham Wasps to Bassetlaw Bulldogs.

I was thinking it was on the high side to be honest.

Likewise, especially given how low we know some SL contracts are.

I seem to recall reading Whitehaven’s average salary last year was £6k, which I was shocked by actually, but I doubt Donny’s is much more.  

[Northern Eel]

I’d be quite surprised if there was anyone at, say Batley, on more than £500 a game. That could, admittedly be wildly incorrect, but equally, I’d not be surprised if that figure was £250.

You could well be right, depends on their contract though

   Think that is not far off.Most Batley players will be on between 12k and 15k  some who make up the squad a bit under.One thing about Batley they don't let ambition break the club with high contracts the club can't afford.

Never a more obvious statement than that.

The norm these days is to have a monthly contract payment with win bonuses on top of that.

Partly (if not entirely) forced on clubs by government legislation on minimum pay, sick pay, holiday pay etc.   

A "match fee", only paid if you played, just isn't an option any more.
