Quote: Wandering Warrior "All the players we have signed are under the cap as per normal. The only extra above the cap is the difference between Sam Tomkins old contract and Sam Tomkins new contract. If that is too hard for some people to understand then they are pretty stupid
You're right, it's not hard to understand. Wigan ask RFL if they can break the cap and pay Tomkins more money and the RFL let them.

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.

Dont bite. Leave him to sit at home in his Saints tracksuit foaming at the mouth.

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

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).
