Quote: inside_man "Probably because they'd just lost a player to Union, it was an issue that needed dealing with anyway, and it's not special dispensation at all, it's applied to all clubs who have players that represent England at international level.'"


I agree that Tomkins needed to kept in the sport but, Wigan's recruitment post this special dispensation suggests they didn't need it anyway.

Quote: Cragganmore Kid "The timing is EXACTLY the issue.

Saints had failed to keep Graham despite offering as much as they could afford to; maybe another £100k would have made him think twice.

Maybe he'd have gone anyway, but to introduce a cap amendment which some clubs can benefit from immediately while others have already lost the opportunity to take advantage of it is highly unfair.'"

Then perhaps your chairman should have got of his arris and petitioned the RFL like Ian Lenegan had the foresight to do so.

Boo hoo hoo is all i ever hear from the likes of you

Quote: Saddened! "Seems the reasons behind their desperation to have the cap increased are becoming clear now


Get a grip, he is hardly going to send us over the cap limit, and Gelling is not even an NRL player.

He did.

Eamonn has seen the need for the the salary cap to be amended for many years, often speaking about it in the press.

www.sthelensreporter.co.uk/sport ... s_1_731140

These things take time. In fact, if it hadn't been for the groundwork done by him in making sure this issue, and potential solutions were discussed and developed over many months, it's unlikely the amendment would have been agreed in time for Wigan to keep Tomkins (until the World Cup at least).
