Quote LeedsPokerGuru="LeedsPokerGuru"Just a quick question on the habitual salary cap cheats.
Anyone have any idea how much spare cap space they had to pick up Hoffman and Finch from fellow cap cheats Melbourne Storm??
Considering the NRL cap is £2.7m ($4.3m AUD),the UK cap is £1.6m as you know, and that the Storm were already running over that it must be lucky that Wigan had sufficient space and that Hoffman and storm lynchpin Finch were willing to take (what logically must be a pay cut no?) to sign for the Warriors.
Maybe they just asked Hansen, Tomkins and co to take another salary deferment or have they learned lessons from passed cheating and have the current champions decided keep around a spare 20% of the cap free for eventualities leading into this season.

Surely if you want to discuss this sensibly, you should also mention/consider what players left or perhaps signed reduced deals?
It wasn't long ago since Leeds "had to be" cheating the salary cap - it goes with being the best side in the comp, other fans can't understand how there can possibly be a team better than theirs.
