Sounds like it could be a win/win situation for us provided we get a decent half in return, we have cover in the centres although hooker cover is a bit sketchier. That said there is time for players like Turner and Washy to win a 20 minute bench spot spelling Houghton in the pre season.

if berro leaves then replacing him with a hooker/HB is a must in order to improve next season. I would prefer it if Berro stayed and we signed someone like Sammut

i can't see us going into 2011 with only one hooker, it would be a little crazy

however if berro did leave then it would imply briscoe would get more game time in the centres which i'd be in favour of. i've nothing against Turner & Whiting but i only see them getting games off the bench or if there are injuries in the backs

so when berro leaves.. People think there will be a shed loads of dollar to spend on a hb!?.. Think again!!!!.

Why would his salary not be immediately available to spend on someone else ? Even if a lot of it was image rights payments those still come off the cap. Yes a new player might have to pay taxes on that money but its still available and he will not have been playing for peanuts.

anyone up for Mr Long's Ex-team mate mr gleeson for us nxt season ( if warringron let him leave them), cause we need a centre should berro go home

Martin Gleeson? Isnt he at Wigan?

He is. Maybe we could sign Mark Gleeson as Berro's replacement

Thought he was

One hooker and two injury-prone halfbacks. It's the future.

warington's salary cap is a complete joke

but i'm not talking about a player kicking on in the 1st team, i'm talking about a players natural position who needs to be given a shot there

love it



You have no idea

a ) what the cap is
b ) how much any of the players earn.

But you see wire sign a player and you cry about the salary cap.

We all know what the cap is. Well i did. My memory



£1.6m?

fully agree jake! More back hand deals at wire than the Russian world cup bid!!!.

warrington better just pray that their owner doesn't come out in the press and declare true earnings like russell crowe did!

Johnathan Thurston is the best scrum half in the World yet the Cowboys finished at the bottom of the pile in the NRL (not including the Strom for obvious reasons). Is that his fault for not making those around him 'perform above themselves'?

What people see is Wire assembling a 'team of all the talents' on allegedly the same amount of money as everyone else. Hardly surprising that questions get asked. Especially as they outbid other clubs for certain players, so approximate salaries are known.

This latest move is stretching credulity to the limit TBH. Unless Hicks has waived a major chunk of his remaining contract value it's difficult to see where there was the space on either last years cap or the 2011 cap to absorb his payoff and still afford Monaghan.

Seems that the most important appointment at a club nowadays is the salary cap accountant.

Of course, in theory, Hicks could agree to leave for nowt. A natural progression for an RL outside back is to get job in the music industry overseas, say in Australia, for instance, working for a concert promoter.

Exactly my point digby, the numbers rumoured for michael monaghan was that we offered around £200,000 and warrington beat us to it so that means around £500,000 is spent on just two players!

Tansey
Radford
Houghton
Moa
Dowes

I would give you:
Berrigan
Fitz
O'Meley
Manu
Tickle
and maybe longy on £100,000 or more but i doubt horney, yeaman, briscoe, tansey, radford, dowes or houghton are near the £100,000 yet as we have a wage structure in relation to internationals and i wouldnt expect any of these to be on or anywhere near what some of the warrington players i named are potentially earning.
