Of Course Saints have no 'form' at all when it comes to this sort of thing

Monaghan as signed a 1 year deal therfor he isent guaranteed an increase. On top of signing Hodgson they have renewed Bridge, Westwoods and Harrisons contracts.

The signing needs investigating. It stinks of cheating.

Just keep piling it on

hmmmmmmmm that salary cap seems to be very stretchy how the hell do they get away with it

Ah, the old "Warrington are cheating the salary cap" argument. It rears its ugly head every time we get a player to sign pen to paper. Yet you all seem to be forgetting that the cap is now live, and has been for some time. The RFL would never have registered the player if we weren't under the cap. Secondly, we have a brilliant finance manager who seems to know the operational rules inside out. I've met the man, he puts an awful lot of time into his job.

You seem to forget the live cap in the NRL

I do wonder how everyone seems to know every other clubs salaries and how much under the cap they are though.

Have to admit I wouldn't think it was possible to put a squad together as good as Warington's and fit it under the cap, but there's no real evidence of any skulduggery on their part. If anything I think they deserve praise for obviously not paying over the odds for players.

If this squad of Warringtons is sooooooo damned good then why havent they ever won superleague?

One 34 year old Australian out. One 28 year old Australian in. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're being 'funny'.

Bad luck.

Wow, someone is bitter. Why does it stink of cheating? Hicks was considering retiring at the end of last year and has obviously discussed this with the club before making his decision. Monaghan has been training with the club and is obviously interested in teaming up with his older brother. It is interesting how much people on this site seem to know about what our players earn.

Monaghan won't be on as much as people think. Joel is getting the oppertunity to build his career back up. He will also have the support of his brother all the time now which would have made the move to warrington make more sense than going to the other rumoured club Catalans.

Kerry Katona for one.

He's missing the point. It's not about Warrington being over the salary cap, the RFL are supposed to be taking care of that element. I don't believe the Warrington squad is 'too good' to be under the cap, it's not as good as Wigan's for example.

Chris Hicks' departure is where the cheating is.

The truth in this is no doubt that Hicks was gently leant on in order to take the decision to retire.

It's dodgy, surely you can see that?
