If I was a Swinton player I would jump at the chance to line-up alongside a someone of Paul Wood's stature in the game.

I'm baffled - the only thing that is of no suprise is the RL appear to have made an unholy mess of things. I assume, and sincerely hope, that if the players have signed 1-year deals then we have an option to bring them back after that. However, I confess to be mystified by the "rules", such as they are, and they certainly seem open to errm misinterpretation.

Mendieka in particular was a player the club seemed to have high hopes for, his potential appeared to be confirmed by a strong showing on boxing day so I hope it's just a case of a one year loan dressed up to satisfy/circumvent (depending on your views) the rules.

You can't blame Wire for doing it. If they can afford to why not?

It's probably against the spirit of the game, but not against the rules (whatever they are).

This notional salary cap value sounds very interesting though, I wonder who "makes up" those figures?

Yes , basically Warrington will be employing and paying these 6 players to train and might well give them some ' spurious ' title ie ' Community apprentices ' , Swinton will be paying them to play RL [ probably a simple match payment ]

Warrington if they so wish might well loan back these players during the season if they want to give them some 1 st team experience

I fully expect several other SL clubs to do exactly the same thing with their ' twins ' , so yes Warrington have done nothing wrong within the laws [ if there actually are any , and the RFL have a long history of intruducing idea's without thinking them through ]of the game , but have ripped a huge hole in the credibility of semi Pro RL

So lets not see any more criticism of W1g4n and their ' deffered ' contract payments , this is alongside that as an abomination

OK. Think most people have moved on. That was about 7 years ago.
