The investigation forund no evidence that Craig Bellamy or any of the players (including their agents) had knowledge of what was happening at Melbourne.

Incidently Ryan Hoffman was one of the players directly involved although again there was no evidence that he knew what was going on.

Strange how the players wouldn't know

Strange or just pure cunning from those who did?

If players did know then those who were involved in the scheme must of known that they would of been found out, particularly if relations between players and the club broke down.

The evidence does show that those who did know went to great lengths to cover their tracks.

LMAO they obviously knew about it but it's proving wrong doing. It's not upto them to police the SC and they can legitimatly say they knew nothing of others arrangements. As long as they declared to the tax man what they were earning thats them in the clear

Of course they all knew.

Inglis, Smith and Slater all had "side letters" ( a second contract) with the Storm.

Finch tows a cloud behind him which has a habit of obscuring his talent.

The others are solid enough I suppose.

From what I've heard Finch runs like he's towing a caravan too these days...

I'm sure Kyle will take great pleasure in running rings round him next year.

Would be awesome but unlikely.

Three terrific signings it has to be said. Wigan will be even stronger all over the field next year, which is ominous given where they already are this year.

Two great signings for Wigan, not so keen on Finch but he should be a decent signing for Super League level. Certainly a better scrum half than anything they have at the moment, I assume that Leuluai will move to nine to become a 'scooter hooker'.

Who are Wigan releasing to accommodate these out of curiosity? Riddell, Bailey and Fielden?

Riddell, Palea'aesina, Bailey, Phelps, Deacon are five who won't be there (Deacon will but coaching only) next season. Prescott, McIlorum, Pryce and a couple of others also out of contract at the moment.

Has Coley re-signed yet?

No, rumours are that he (and Fielden) have been offered one year deals. Coley I believe has a job offer as he is a chartered surveyor. He has to do what is best for him and his family.

Fielden I would have given a two year deal, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
