Assuming those who were here last season were under the same ‘status’ then despite the fact they are an additional +1 with regards to ‘players used’ this season they’ve effectively added 0 to the wage bill.
Well, Cowmeadow and Minturn were scholars last season, I assume they had a slight pay bump up to pro status. But yes, I can't imagine these guys, even collectively, are making a significant budgetary impact.
