Really? If that's the case then share the stories with the group, along with the players who told you. I get the feeling you won't though, mainly because you've not heard anything, but also you're all mouth and no action.

Can you prove that Chase is one of the highest paid players in SL? Can you prove that Sandow is one of the highest paid backs in the NRL? And what teams were in for Lineham? I'm getting a lot of hearsay, but no evidence to back up your claims.

6 teams in Super League era have breached the salary cap. Warrington are not one of them. Saints however...

I reckon we could get Roby and Walmsley as well and still be under the cap

Let's clarify your misguided thoughts with facts.
Saints have an all round bigger and better squad than Warrington... You are at full cap, we are not.
Wire are not in for Chase. We never have been regardless of this thread.
As for Lineham he was signed to Warrington not because of his wage demands verses "every club in SL" (which we know is also not true) but because Wire were willing to step up a near £200k transfer fee,(some reports say £120k) for a player with a short end contract.

Post of the year by a country-mile !
First you say you've heard 'true stories' ......... but then go on to say 'in your opinion.' Which one is it ?
Go and stand in the corner with your face to the wall and give your head a wobble. If it rattles, don't be afraid.

Re-read my post again. Lets be honest the salary cap is there to be broken by anybody who is willing to do it. Salford and Wire are probably not the only two playing funny buggers. Credit to Simon Moran for putting his hands in his pocket, however keep under achieving and that money will soon dry up especially with your attendances dropping.

| The money isn't going to dry up though is it? Be a nice pot from wembley too which we're far more likely to be gracing than you. What's your aggregate score v leeds so far this season? Such bile from the scousers over a player who is apparently rubbish...strange.

Just because your season so far has been a disgrace does not mean you have a bad side. If you really believe that Wire (who have one of the richest owners in world rugby) go into the season well under the cap despite signing the current MOS then you sir are deluded. Then you sign a half who is currently on massive money at Parramatta who is willing to leave that massive pay packet for a pointless dog fight to see Wire finish at best 5th ? Does not make sense and anybody with half a brain cell will acknowledge that.
Fortunately for us Saints fans Wire are still not addressing the main problem at the club and wont win a SL title until they do = Tony Smith.

If you are correct and we aren't going to even feature this season or next I don't even know why you are so vitriolic and feel the need to comment on our board and on numerous threads. Especially as your obvious lack of even half a brain cell leaves you short in the acknowledgement department.
I don't mind a bad loser, what's that saying "show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser" but you, a supporter of a champion team seem to be a bad winner, which isn't a trait that's going to win friends and influence people... LFC and Saints what a combination, certainly not in the raindrops and roses category as far as I'm concerned.
Finally, as far as I'm concerned we don't really care what you think, with your unsubstantiated (made up) stories.

Your still wrong.
I do not hold the title of Sir.
We are under cap hence the signing of Sandow.
It is no secret we were under cap, Tony Smith said there was money available if we need someone at the back end of the season. He said that on radio Manchester a week before the season started.
I may deluded but Tony Smith isn't, he has the facts whereas you don't.
