Say Myler was on £80k. We pay £40k next year, York pay £40k, he’s on the same and will play, we get £40k to bring in Hudson. (I don’t know the real numbers, but the announcements were essentially at the same time).
Same might be the case with Olpherts - even if we pay part salary it may just be enough with what we have left to bring in Kershaw.
I know Myler was a decent player I could just see scenarios where he wouldn’t play a single game of first grade next year.
I think GH is right and we are at the cap so it’s one out-one-in from here unless we find exempt players. Unless they have one final magical Xmas present up the sleeve and Sutton is on his way. Who knows.
It's all guesswork ultimately. My point was that Peter Smith doesn't appear to have asked the obvious question. Now I don't doubt that he did ask it, he just didn't share the answer with his readers. Maybe GH gave him something off the record with a bit of a nod and a wink. Suspect there's probably another twist in the tale, but who knows?
