Quote: Lord_Percy "We'd have had to have paid a fee at the end of the season, as he's still under 24 and players of that age aren't covered by the "Bosman" ruling. The fee would have been decided by a tribunal, and would also leave other clubs free to join in the race for his signature. If he's a player we wanted, it makes more sense to get him now, obviously allowing for the fact Wakefield were prepared to release him.'"
i suppose it makes sense if we would have had to pay something for him anyway and to add some depth to the squad.
