Well said....can't stand cheats !

Is it just me that finds it strange that "agents fees and a flight allowance" are considered part of the salary cap?

Yes, although I'd expect that whoever is in charge if the financial details at Wigan would know this.

Dont buy Wigans excuses and reasons, if you are over you are over, it shouldn't how much and a percentage it is, plus they say they didn't get any advantage as they lost all there games in that period, again this is ittelvent to the situtaion.

Any salary cap breach should come with a points deduction, otherwise there is no punishment, a £2500 is loose change to Wigan.

once a cheat....

Guess this relates to the Burgess and Leuluai signings, they must have flown business class! Put them in coach next time!

I don't know why people still bother with the salary cap, here at Warrington we've opted out for quite a few years now.

Every season

Any more of this and ol' Lenners will be wishing he'd never taken on the might of the RFL. No world cup games, now this...
more popcorn, I think...

Rubbish its Wigan

I’m not too bothered about the amount Wigan are over, it’s a marginal figure. It’s the attempt to conceal it initially that’s the problem for me.

Lenagan can pretend it’s merely an administrative mistake all he wants but he’s talking utter tosh. Of course agents fees and flight costs are part of the cap. In the same way as if a club sponsor pays a player that’s counted on the cap.

Basically Wigan knew they were over but tried to hide it. 2 points deduction more than warranted. A fine for going over the salary cap makes the cap utterly irrelevant. A points deduction is the only punishment that has any impact.

likely get the 2 points back once they have appealed



anyway great timing by the rfl day before the first game of the season?!

A breach of 0.8% is hardly going to distort the competition, how the RFL describe that as a "serious" breach is mystifying.
