Only the top 25 earning players at a club count towards the cap. So in theory you could have an infinite number of players signed on. I suspect a large portion of our cap is take up by the likes of Moylan, Lam, Asiata, Ipape, Amone, Mulhern, O'Donnell and Leutele.

£2.1M / 25 players is an average of £84K each. Mulhern is believed to be on just over average. Yes, the overseas contingent take up most of the cap, but that is based on the fact that they can earn considerably more with a NRL contract. There has to be something more than the beautiful women and fine weather in Leigh to persuade them to come over.

Edwin came over on peanuts which is why they were so quick to tie him down to a long contract.
