Warrington will run with Williams and one from Leyland or Hayes as half back. Whoever gets the first go will presumably depend on how Hayes has gone in training post-injury, but Burgess was very happy with him as first-choice last year so I don't expect that to change. Dufty will be full back; I'd expect Taylor-Wray to play 8-10 first team games and be first understudy to Dufty.

[quote="karetaker":ax9106cg]There is a caveat to that though it will only count for this season so any players signed will have to be implemented into the cap if signed for more than one season.[/quote:ax9106cg] Ah, so which is it? 1. Players signed with contracts > 1 year will count on 2026 and beyond cap. 2. Players signed with contracts > 1 year will count on 2025 and 2026 and beyond cap.

That's because if dispensations are to be approved they are only likely to remain in place for this season only.

There is another meeting of all clubs this afternoon.
