I'd like a PM as to which Wigan player it was too. I won't tell anyone.

Karl Pryce was the player

Just came across this thread so i thought I go and look at the salary cap rules and all the other available data. In answer to the question as to "how can Wolves be under the cap", the answer....

You get a spreadsheet, you list the names, you list the amounts, you add them up, you check the total is under the limit and then .... JOB DONE!!!

All the arguments about how much this player is on or this player etc is pure speculation and therefore useless in reality

Im always amazed on threads like this one, how so many people seem to know how much money players earn at various clubs!!

Having just spoken to Lord Hoyle, its a FACT that no breach of salary cap has taken place at Warrington in 2006.

FACT !

It wasn't and I will not post the players name as it was in a pm.
I will also say that I did explain to him why his source was wrong and we had a polite conversation with regard to that player and young players salaries in general.

I'm guessing the PM sent was bull tbh, if you can only tell one person then you obviously feel that no one else will beleive you.

That's just my opinion on it.

At the last shareholders meeting it was stated that Wigan along with nine? (I can't remember whether it was ten or twelve in total) other clubs were being investigated by HMRC but had made no provision in their accounts as they did not believe there was a problem. Nothing more has been said on the issue and I wouldn't expect there to be unless a payment was due. We will probably get an update at the next shareholders meeting, as someone is bound to ask the question.

correct....!!! this has been a great thread, one of the best lunch times Ive had reading this.

All the "he must be on a fair wedge", "He wont Come Cheap he played in the NRL", and the Saints players "on Peanuts" or "come through the Academy so he'll accept a smaller salary"

...its been sheer investigative genious of the highest order.

I have no idea what my colleague sat next to me is on and he does exactly the same job as me.....i'll agree its peanuts but what that amounts to in pounds sterling I have no idea.......

However you'd have to feel for Matt king with his 20 billion pound fortune but having all his winners medals taken of him....

That is the problem with opinions; any idiot can have one.

But anyone with half a brain could see that Wire were drastically under performing at the time and all we needed to turn our fortunes around was a world class coach so maybe thay had a better knowledge of what was happening at wire than the fans do/did

WOW



you people must get really bored accusing a team of being over the salary cap

if any team gone over the salary cap everyone would of known by now

We do, there's an 11 page thread here

i will sort this salary cap out at wire. everybody who says wire are over put the players wages on here just add them up its that easy. on standby with calculator . come on saints hurry up

anyone have alist of proven slary cap cheats over the last few years?

Well I have a source that tells me that King is on £1m a year and Mathers is on minimum wage of £5.80 per hour.

I think Briers is paid in cans of Skol too.

Evian this season.

Ah, the professionalism of Smith is kicking in then.

Were Would Wire fans say ben Harrison is in the pecking order of salary? Top 10?

If Wire are over the salary cap they're being royally fleeced.

But I guess that's the hallmark of a mercenary team.

I seem to recall a number of Wigan fans gloating over this matter after Maurice said that Whelan would never, ever, use such nefarious means to 'cheat' the salary cap.

And now you are under investigation for it?

Oh dear, it looks like a few of you bought Uncle Mo's misinformation hook, line and sinker

Brilliant isn't it - one of the more trumpeted reasons from over the hill for our illegitimate successes as I recall.

Very true. This is in direct opposition to the Saints players who come for a modest salary and the sweet scented air of St Helens.

You forgot the bit about strongly challenging for pretty much every cup/competition since 1996. Dire have 1 cup win and a record of failing misrably.

Shhhhhhhhh dont tell him that. Saints have been in 'Decline' since 2002.
