Signed for wire 2021 1 year deal ,retired or not

If this is true, then how can Wire not be over the cap?

Agree, or is it he gets a small wage and his wife gets paid millions for cleaning offices or bar areas?

It depends who they have going in the opposite direction or becoming OOC.
You would expect him to be a marque player so, one of their superstars may well be on their way ?

There are plenty of ways Warrington could be affording this:

The amount each Club can spend on its first team players is (subject to certain exemptions and dispensations) limited to the lower of:

- The finite Salary Cap limit of £2.1m; and
- The amount that it is deemed that a Club can afford to spend pursuant to the Financial Sustainability Regulations.

DISPENSATIONS
The key dispensations are:

- Marquee Player – Each Super League and Championship Club is permitted to have two Marquee Players whose Salary Cap value is limited to £150,000 (or £75,000 if Club Trained);
- Club Trained Dispensation – Each Super League club is given up to £100,000 of dispensation for producing Super League standard players;
- Player Welfare Dispensation – Each Super League Club that achieves the player welfare target is given a £15,000 dispensation;
- New Talent Pool Dispensation – Any Player who has not previously played Rugby League is given a value of £0 in the first year of his contract and at 50% of his true value in the second year;
- Returning Talent Pool Dispensation – Any Player who has not previously played rugby league in the 5 years prior to signing is given a value of 50% of his true value in the first year of his contract and 75% of his true value in the second year;
- International Bonuses – Bonuses paid for international representation are excluded up to specified maximums;
- Educational fees paid directly by Clubs are excluded; and
- Prize money – Payments made out of prize money are excluded.

Quite the gamble from Warrington

Look forward to seeing him at Belle Vue - just hope we're allowed in the ground. Risky signing fitness wise for Warrington but probably worth the risk to them for the exposure.

Even with BMM moving I'm struggling for how they afford him on the cap unless Austin/Widdop is off. Or is it 3 marquee players from next year?

Yep ,
No way he is not coming for Marquee money

I’ve heard another rumour that another recently retired player is coming your way.

This will be a disaster .

Who for, Warrington or Leeds?

For Warrington's bank balance, maybe but, that's their prerogative.

Inglis was by far my fav NRL player throughout the last 10 year, for me he was the full package as far as a centre/fullback went. Think if he can get to even 80% of what he was he’d still be head and shoulders above and player in his position in SL.

Great signing for SL, with SBW, Inglis Slamin Sam Burgess expected to sign at Leeds there is some real star quality in the ranks, players who can be marketed , players who are recognised by none RL people.

So Hetherington is leading the charge to reduce the salary cap for next year but also wants to sign Sam Burgess

Thought Sam's body was broken beyond repair and would be foolish to return to the game

Indeed. I doubt he would come back. Souths got a break on salary cap as well I think so that wouldn't go down well in Oz.

The Sts fans reckon they've got a big signing coming up too.

Will it be another one who comes with a wheelchair?

Saints signing will be a lot safer bet than Wires and cheaper
