From a totally cynical Leeds perspective, given that we've played them and won a strengthened Warrington is probably good, in that they are more likely to take points off others. Unless they somehow scrape into the top 4 and end up beating us in the playoffs of course. Still looks like a very dodgy business though.

I agree if wire had made the cc final and sandow was starting to star for them the reaction would be very different.

Whilst this must have been approved under the live cap surely the RFL won't have had B.Smiths candid comments.

I don't agree with the cap. So I'm not going to castigate a club if they find a loophole.

So Grix is retiring without playing for wakey. What a shame that wire missed out on the top 4 despite cheating the cap... m.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/34261094

So if you have players come and do some weights at your club despite not being registered, you get fined.

Ride roughshod all over the spirit of the cap by sending a player on loan you know is never going to play for his loan club (and don't tell me Warrington didn't already know, how daft would you have to be to believe that?), and that's fine then?

Guess Phil Clarke's "rugby gods" must have been keeping a close eye on events at the HJ in recent weeks.
