I'm surprised nobody has suggested a coaching job with the academy side. He's clearly got a decent rugbying brain, so if he wants to stick around that would look to be a plausible option?
Also, if he's going to be laid up for a long time and not able to do his job (ie play rugby) surely he'd resort to Statutory Sick Pay? I'd then expect him to have some form of insurance which would make up his pay.

I don't think replacing like for like is of huge importance.
A centre, half back (s) and a prop, all of good quality is where his salary should be diverted for me.

No LF? We don't really have an out and out LF, when Langley plays there, he just plays like a Prop. |

Exactly, I've nothing against Langley but personally I'd like to see a player with better ball skills there. |

Not as a priority, no.
Morrison, Menzies, Burgess could all do a good job there in addition to Langley. |

Do a good job, yes. Why have a centre? Sykes and Nero can both do a good job, and Crookes can aswell when he is fit. |

I notice from the banner advert in that piece that skybet have us as 4th favourites to win the grand final  16-1, only behind Saints, Leeds and Wigan, probably says more about the bookies covering themselves rather than an indication of our true threat.... interesting though.

Which is why for me halfback is the priority for the solo cap space. We only have 1 half back signed up for next year so far, this area needs sorting as a priority before anything else IMO. Next then would be maybe (but I might be tempted to stick with Sykes/Nero/Crookes), then possibly prop and/or hooker depending on whats happens to Lynch/Newton, all before we get to LF, where as said, although maybe not perfect, Langley, Burgess, Morrison and Menzies can all do a job there.

Not directly. IIRC the issue was that Bulls expected the NZRL insurers to pay Hape's salary over that time, and assumed that that would not count under the cap. In the event I don't think they paid out? |

The big question surely is CAN Bulls tear up Sol's contract under the 26-week rule (assuming his contract contains that clause...suspect it might not?)? And if so, WILL they? Given he was injured playing for us.
Bulls did it before with TV and TKL, so they could sign Harris. Hmm...

But 26 weeks takes us past the end of the season, doesn't it? |

Crikey, I know we need a half back but I don't think Harris is the answer.  |

But IRC you can cancel the contract if the player seems very likely not to be able to play within 26 weeks? You don't have to wait the 26 weeks?
Does the player's insurance cover loss of earnings in this situation? |

I think they can but if they do then what kind of message does this say to other players potentially thinking of signing for us especially with overseas stars? |

Isn't the 26 week rule a standard clause for SL players? |

I assume you don't have to wait 26 weeks but you must pay him for 26 weeks. A bit like in lieu of notice. |
