That's not what has happened or what Cunningham said though. He said along the lines of if the NRL come sniffing when around Walmsley then we could potentially use the rule to keep him here.

Just to add a bit of spin, you could say that when a "marquee" player is close to moving on or retiring that this would give the other players a reason to perform better as they want the £££ and the tag of been a "marquee" player. Don't the yanks called it an MVP?

Yes - would've been nice to keep them 2 - certainly Graham.
You also fail to mention people like Lyon, Gidley, Soliola, Barrett, Renouf, Vainakolo, etc etc etc who have come over during the confines of salary cap and ripped it up. If this rule is to be used then it should be used to entice that calibre of player to SL. Or as mentioned - keeping hold of top quality if you're lucky enough to produce somebody special. Not just top up the salary of the mediocre currently on show.

Also you can get lucky and pick a player up who no one fancied. George Carmont being a prime example, probably the best value for money overseas player I have seen at Wigan.

Yes you have, Percival. By the way contracts normally count for nothing.

Or was the offer withdrawn for fitness reasons.
