You don't have to believe me, but it is true.
Did you read Offiahs statement regarding Myler.
And what I said was that two clubs were looking at the possibility of signing Myler.
That was also true.

| Warrington are one of the few clubs in SL never that haven't been judged to have broken the salary cap.
I'd be extremely upset if they had been doing something illegal (re the cap) for years and only just been found out now.
Upset on 2 accounts - 1. that it wasn't found earlier and 2. that we'd done it.
To my knowelegde there is possibly an issue with image rights (Monas springs to mind) but I'm prepared to wait and see the results of the inquiry.
I really wouldn't be suprised if some of the recent signings came for slightly less than most people imagine just because of Tony Smith.
The players want to be well paid but they also want some silverware.
Any player who just goes from place to place for the money alone and doesn't care about silverware probably isn't the sort of guy most top teams want.
Just not sure what the make up of next years team could be..... Tricky problem to have!

| Wasn't it Warrington that were ringed as the alleged worst offender re tax?
Seem to remember there being a post on the official site. Of course there were 10 other clubs involved too.

no it wasn't thanks for the attempted slur though, nil points for that.
If you must know we were publicly admitting that there was a change in this alleged loophole and as we're awesome and the rfl love us and know that we do our salary cap stuff hot, we were happily working with superleague/rfl and the inland revenue to discuss and sort this out.
Cos we're a well run responsible superleague club, unlike some that cheat and moan and then weasel out of situations through legal action against the spirit of the competition.

| what is it with wigan fans who get all indignant and y when their beloved club wins naff all, they assume that other clubs have cheated, just because they had a fat bookie who changed the goal posts to suit himself/ the pies, appointed himself head of superleague, sorted his club out then re took his role of chairman, they believe we/ other clubs are just as underhanded and willing to cheat.
i'm sorry but i gets my goat!
face facts, your team is boring and playing on a level playing field for the first time in years. get over it your not special!
and all those years of inbalance have left other teams fans finding you contemptable at times!

Your inferiority complex shines like a beacon in the night. All I said was that 10 RL clubs are being investigated, and the results should be known within three months.
I'm led to believe that Warrington and Wigan are amongst those clubs.
That's not getting y as you so eloquently put it, merely stating fact.
And if you want to attack Lindsay then have the common sense to get your facts right.
If it wasn't for him the game would have been dead and buried by now at proffessional level.
The fact that the clubs didn't use the money they got properly and in the main were run by a bunch of amateurs, was not his fault.
He did not appoint himself as head of Superleague.
With Lindsay in charge we were playing in front of 60,000 crowds v Australia and New Zealand at Wembley.
Where's our ambition as game now?

The self interest of SL Chairman have ensure we are a fair way off that scenario repeating itself.

| Quote ="NickyKiss"I had my thoughts about Wires salary cap at the weekend when i heard they'd signed these players and at first thought how could they be fitting them in but then when you look at the players leaving it does make sense.
When you signed Rauhihi he was very highly rated in the NRL and was a Kiwi international and when Johnson was signed he was playing very well for Bradford and for GB. I'd guess both of these would be on small fortunes at Wire tbh and i can see their wages covering the salaries of Myler and Atkins at least and then theres the departures of Reardon and Gleeson during this season and possibly a couple of lesser players at the end of this year.
I'll be honest i was more dubious last year when Higham and Carvell was brought in when it seemed players hadn't left of the level that could fund those deals.'" plus the fact two of the players that have served at the same club for 10 years plus only 50% of their wages count now i heard briers took a "CONSIDERABLE" pay cut to stay in the region of 50k p/a so only 25k counts on the cap now thats cheap

But it doesn't matter.
The maximum offset against the salary cap is a max maximum of 50% and a maximum of £50K.
Which other player has done 10 years at Warrington?
I think there is also minimum number of qualifying games at the club.

Will Wood have played the requisite number of games?
I doubt it.
Jon Clarke was at Wigan in 1998 and spent time at her Majestys pleasure before playing again at Wigan and then moving to London Broncos.
he has not completed 10 years at Warrington.
I also doubt that Briers is only on £50K, he turned down a three year contract at Barrow.
