[quote="MjM":to3exs4f]This was something Matt Shaw came up with in a largely nonsensical article. The pre-season training trip will have been booked and paid for a long time ago.[/quote:to3exs4f] I'm sure it was but either way it's surely an unnecessary large expense for a club with particularly shaky finances, having recently stayed afloat by selling off 3 of it'main assets and going cap in hand to their supporters.. seems irresponsible.

I reckon we’ll get Watkins. RFL have told them they have to sell players or thet won’t be able to register players for this season. Reduced cap of 1.2m

[quote="Seth":1acmvhaz]If there's no dispensation then which clubs realistically have space at this stage of preseason?[/quote:1acmvhaz] Hull, Wire, Leigh and Cas, so far as I can make out.

Think wakey have just cleared a quota spot by terminating a contract sharpish too.

Cross - Hull FC Ormondroyd - Castleford Sneyd, Shorrocks - Leigh Watkins - Leeds These are five moves I think are likely. MacDonald, Lafai, Nikorima, Stone, Wright, Lewis, Marsters will get looked at elsewhere but unless quota spots open, only Wakefield, Castleford, Huddersfield and Catalan can look at them.
