If King was on £600k (source: wigan forum) then Briers must have been on £400k at least

Benji Marshall was released from his contract today. He'd be alright for you lot. Bet you'd get him for £379,999.99 as well.

Well we can't all be as lucky as to have Lance Hohaia in our ranks can we? Just keep dousing your Luke Walsh figurine in holy water and praying he stays fit.

Woh there horsey. It wouldn't be the strangest thing in the world if he ended up with you. There presumably won't be too many NRL sides with loads of cap room sloshing around at this stage of the season,so it could fit.

And from the rumours on our board at the moment it seems Walsh won't be around for too much longer.

Aus $700000 is £387000 so that would put us in the game if the cap mattered, but technically as a union convert, I think he'll be cap exempt, so he's open season for every RL club.

No, no he's not cap exempt. Read the new talent pool rules for further details:

Eh ! Why where's he going? Is he injured?

I dont like Saints and certainly dont want them to win anything but I would be gutted to see Luke Walsh leave SL, he is a great player to watch.

...and there were rumours about St's wanting GOB a couple of weeks ago.

To replace wheeler. If rumours are to be believed, were in the very strange position next year of having to replace all our senior halfbacks! Fwiw Walsh will see out his contract

Walsh does seem to be enjoying it over here

I would think that could likely be the case. We have seen a fair bit of rotation with the younger lads and i think we can already see who looks likely to come through and cement their place in the first team. I like the look of the Evans boys but not so much Riley, for example. I would like to see more of Dwyer and i think it's time Currie really showed us what he's made of now.

Don't forget Currie is a teenager and a forward, I think people do need to put that in context.
Riley for such a big lad has awful leg drive and seems to have little strength.
England played well at Leeds but has had his injuries.
B.Evans hasn't stood out but equally hasn't done anything wrong.
Laithwaite is industrious but at the moment he's in that category that Mitchell/Tyke/Cooper/Blythe have been in. Good but are they good enough, take the Cooper route and good but he could go the other way.

Problem for Saints is Luke Walsh has put himself in the shop window by showing how good he is and once the big clubs start circling it becomes a question of can they keep hold of him, like Briers in the Challenge Cup run of 1997.

He didn't say £400,000 though. What a load of rubbish. Have you been hearing the voices again?

I'll never forget walking to the bus station from Priestley and seeing Lee being driven in, in tears in the back of the car.

I know what you mean, last week my friend's wife had their 1st child. The tears of joy he shed when he told me must have been similar to the tears Lee (P&BBUH) shed that day.

Struth. No he didn't, it must been some pocket change he is referring too, enough to buy a bag of chips with in the rain, so he could field a wet chip!
People around here also hear voices too.

It's you that's been referring to £400,000, no-one else has mentioned it.

nobody else did until I did on here it seems. I'm not the first around Warrington.
Still there is enough on show, or perhaps I should say not on show, to give it legs.
I don't go making rumours up, although I'm certainly guilty of passing some on.

Somebody in recent circles at Warrington spoke of it too in discussion in all things RL to me when I picked him up one time.

You're the one who wrote it.

Ok, I'll take the bait.

We've lost Morley, Carvell, Briers, Hodgson & Cooper.
We've signed Russell, Asotasi & Penny and extended (and I assume) upgraded other existing players terms.

I draw three possible conclusions from this :

1). We are £400K under the salary cap with cash to spend if required
2). We are not £400K under the cap in which case some of our players have superb agents
3). The club have various targets signed up for next year and are thinking in terms of next years cap

Based on performances this year I'd suggest 2, 1, 3 in that order.

..Tyke and Solamona and Blithe and Williams.

Yeah for forgot about them (for perhaps obvious reasons except Solomana). Solo will have been on a good contract but it probably cost us 10 grand to get the door widened to shove Williams ar*e out of it.

Can you do that?
I know Pies exposed a loophole the other way when cheating relegation. I wasn't aware to could carry over this year's to next too??
