Quote: rollin thunder "So you think Wigan going out and signing the then considered best forward in the world is the equivalent of Leeds giving a full time deal to Luke Briscoe. And that saved Leeds from relegation. Wow bitter or what.'"
Why bitter ?
There is no doubt whatsoever that Leeds were desperately shuffling their squad to avoid the possibility of the MPG.
It's a total cop out to sight "an administrative error", when people are employed to work on these things and this seems to indicate that the "live" cap doesn't quite work.
Of course Leeds didn't go for the Wigan style of blow the bank and then laugh as their legal team ran rings around the SL legal team and have their points deduction halved or, in the more recent case, get in the ear of Robert Elstone, who spoke up for them in advance of their hearing - something that is just wrong and in the real world would have prejudiced the case.
A £10k fine is almost a green light for other clubs to flout the rules.
Probably time to just do away with the cap and save everyone time effort and blushes.
