Possibly - but what would the RFL rules state about paying a transfer fee for a player 10 months in advance of him switching clubs? (Bradford need the money [inow[/i after all) Also, it would be a hugely risky thing for a business to do, in the intervening time he could suffer a career ending injury while still at Bradford....

Of course, but you run that risk with any player. We signed Myler and Ratchford whilst still playing for Salford, they could have got an injury training or whatever, but that's the risk you run.

I'm unsure what the RFL will say, but if it's anything like football, they shouldn't really have a problem with it. It should/would help Bradford immensely, which is an added bonus for them.

Could you not just buy him now with his salary the same as it is at Bradford (But increasing next season) and loan him back so that the salary cap impact is zero? He officially becomes a Wire player but plays for the Bulls this season.

Ask Moranovitch. Its his money that buys players, not the people on this forum.

You can cover for outcomes like this readily in a contractual agreement.

Isn't this basically what we did last year with Chris Hill when Leigh needed the money?

Bradford have reached the 500K total so the pledges now have to be paid up. Now they are under "several confidential discussions" to raise the further 500K. Make of that what you will...

Ha ha exactly, and if there's no room left then just give his younger brother a £100,000 a year job handing out flyers for Moran's concerts.

Other clubs seem to show no imagination when it comes to cheating the Salary Cap, that's why there's such a lack of quality players and squad depth in Super League

We need to keep RU at bay so maybe the RFL could 'contribute' towards his salary for us making it exempt from the cap.

if he's good enough and we got space then dont see why tony would say no.

We don't need back rowers last time I checked, we didn't want Gareth Ellis as he wouldn't get in our team.
