Quote: bewareshadows "The payment counts in the year it is paid, you can't forward pay either, spirit of the cap.
But there would be no need to in the case of someone like Perry as he only has a year left. The big IF is does Walsh actually want to come early? And can Penrith afford to lose him at this stage in their season.
There are a lot of IF's for this to be possible.
IF Penrith get Soward,
IF Saints can de-register
IF Saints can get a visa
IF Saints have the cap
IF IF IF.
It would seem more likely come the playoffs we may get him early if Penrith are out of the running. Slightly less IF's there.'"
There's a deadline now though isn't there after the johns and Morley situations at wire and bulls respectively?
