If it did leave them five bodies short (which is highly debatable) then it's up to them to manage the cap better and promote from within.



My argument is that given the fact that many players are leaving AND that they have signed players AFTER the dispensation proves, beyond reasonable and logical doubt, that Wigan did not actually need any special dispensation at all and merely used the excuse that Tomkins *may* go to union as a stick to beat the RFL into submission over a cap increase.


He won't be coming over for brass washers that's for sure - thus proving they did not need the "extra" cap space


That's irrelevant.

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

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