| Quote: Adeybull " lots of sense quote]
I also distinctly remember when the whole Harris thing kicked off that the question was put to Leeds of how they had planned to fit Harris under the cap if they had indeed wanted him back. Mr Hetherington (or someone at the club) said something along the lines of 'we had a sponsor lined up and ready to go'. So.....the Bulls never come in for Harris....he goes back to Leeds......his sponsor puts an ad in a magazine (or similar).....Leeds are over the cap. There but for the grace of God.......(or Caisley)

| Quote: sgtwilko "That is totally made up bs by fans and is looked upon as a cap breach! It's also an old wives tale. I've heard Leeds fans say it about saints I've heard saints fans say it about Wigan! it doesn't happen. It's pretty pathetic that you convince yourself Leeds must be cheating the cap when we are obviously not! Did you not hear what sini said after the gf?
by sticking to the rules you mean? GH has done nothing wrong, that's not getting around the cap thats managing player payments within the rules.
you know you are beaten when you start trying to claim some kind of moral high ground or honour in just "straight up" cheating? making totally unfounded accusations that come from pub talk and hear say!
Come on pal get a grip! are you really gonna post this kind of crap?
seriously where do you think this stuff up?'"
Okay then, maybe not moral highground, but either way, there's many other clubs who have cheated the cap.
I did hear what Sinfield said, but alot of that is total "bs". If it weren't for image rights, there'd be plenty more players leaving Leeds. And I can assure you, there are lots of other ways that clubs get around it, and i'd guess one of the biggest is your lot, just ask Mr. Hetherington how he can afford to keep a team of that quality under the cap, becuase I guarantee you it's not solely because they love playing together.
Also, you have to take into account that now there is a live salary cap system, whereas when we "broke" it you didn't find out until the season after. |

A legitimate advantage that Leeds I suspect have is that a testimonial year probably brings in more tax free money than any other club for a 10year player.

Why more than any other club? |

| Testimonial money comes from number of events and attendance at those events. Whilst fans chip in for a reasonable percentage (and Leeds have the biggest average home gates of recent years) - not definitive that more people will go but more likely. The biggest money will come from sponsorship, corporate events, post Friday night matches etc. Leeds have more of that than any other club (prawn sandwich brigade anyone  ) - possibly only Wigan could match them on that front. |

Without doubt. I have always been in awe of them. I think they are slightly smaller this season to be honest.

He did bulk up too much a couple of years ago, he looks to be back to his best shape now though.

This is clearly a field in which you have some personal experience then...so could you enlighten as about this "best shape" thing? Is it something where you need to be...intimately acquainted...with the chap to assess? |

I think what he means is that Langley lost quite a bit of his upper body mobility because of the size he bulked up to. However, he does seem to have slimmed down this season, which will hopefully help him improve as a player
