I was told that he already signed for Saints. Obviously not, but it looks like a bidding war will now be on the cards, because Wire are after him too !'"
I read in the paper on Monday that Warrington are after a prop from Featherstone instead. |

I'm Webbo: |

| Quote: Offside Monkey "
If Sam know all three clubs are genuinely interested, then, no matter what transfer bids are made, surely its his choice who he signs for?'"
Technically, Leigh can deny him a move to whichever club(s) do not meet their valuation whilst the player is under contract.
Realistically, as the BBC article says he only signed a one year contract at the start of this season, I'll assume he'll be a free agent at the end of the year. That means that he could depart to whichever club he wanted to at that time. Leigh will know this makes their negotiating hand rather weak. Hopkins could, if he so wished, decline to move to any club which made an acceptable bid for him and wait until the end of the season to walk for nothing. |

I'm guessing he would be able to negotiate a deal for next season now.
However, he'll be on pittance at a halfbaked club like Leigh and would probably want to move now so he can start earning a proper wage sooner.

Thats a bit harsh considering how our own club are being "misrun" at the moment in relation to contracts and signings! |

Our own club is run within good corporate governance, we are just not winning everything in this current period. Leigh are a proud club with proud fans and I am afraid when saddened is in this mood red vee is more appropriate. |

It's not meant as a criticism. What I meant is that they're surely a semi-pro club, the salary cap is somewhere around the £105,000 a year level for all playing staff? That by 20 players is an average of £7,500, roughly minimum wage. |

The Championship salary cap is £300,000. |

Is 1st July the new anti-tampering deadline? Did I read that somewhere? I guess any signings will be announced after this date.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I think it's 1st June for Super League and assume it's the same for the Championship.
Tickle to Widnes was announced yesterday. |

Yeh, that's right. Koukash should make the news again soon with his 6 signings. |

Yep I'm sure they will announce some signings soon. With the quality of player they are talking to will put them ahead of us next year providing they all turn out.
Maybe we can take some of their rubbish off them for next year. |
