You make some good points there but just to focus on this one for now, can we still do this? I thought the league had brought in some kind of ruling following the Andrew Johns/Warrington deal?

they have!! You can't do it!!

Thought so

yup, the general deal is if a player comes in for a month on say £5000, his salary for cap purposes is counted as 12 x £5000 or £60,000.

Worry not, Lee will be plying his trade over on yorkshire next year

That's really rather vague, I mean in a way he already does a few games a season at least.

I agree with your sentiments, but Long is definitely going and he's likely to be joined by Cayless and maybe Cunningham. That's potentially 3 big earners leaving with room already available on the salary cap from this season.

Now, I've no doubt we'll renew contracts for some of the younger guys, but I still think we'll have room to bring in a good quality player whether Gilly leaves or not.

Strong rumour he's HKR bound next season.

From Hull KR...

Well, they do have the biggest and best rumour mill in the game...

Rumour mill, away following, distance from stand to pitch...

I think you should extend it to a four year deal, along with Cunningham, Cayless and Meli.

Back from your hols then? Its been an eventful couple of weeks

I knew about the Hock incident on the Monday 16th before we left (two and a half weeks ago) I posted it on the Wigan site but we decided to remove it after around 15 mins, as it was then very much a well informed rumour, but it came from the reliable source that I have PMd you about before.

Great holiday in Skala, Kefolontia. Found a bar to watch all the RL games, they thought they had a nutter in on Sunday watching the HKR v Wigan game.

Gilly will be joining 3 of his old team mates next year back in yorkshire
