You sure? Surely we have 3 designated marquee players now? If we brought in someone as marquee it would relegate one of those to a position where their wage would fully count on the cap, and looking at our squad for next season I find it pretty hard to believe we have much wiggle room for bringing in another player. If we do have room for this and we were willing to spend silly money on Farrell then I would like us to send a transfer fee to Leeds or Hull KR and try to get Smith or Minchella.
I’m sure Thompson will be our English marquee player with Field and French the overseas ones.
Farrell wouldn’t need to be marquee in year one as he would count as 0 against the cap.
In regards playing transfer frees for Minchella or Smith, it would be a big no from me. Don’t see where they improve us other than with squad depth but would command inflated salaries, I’d rather keep Shorrocks.
There may be significant risks on the field with any move for Farrell but from a profile and commercial point of view despite the salary out lay it would not be a massive win for the club.
