It's exactly that, it's cap management and where you want your money to be spent. To be fair we have both Lineham and Charnley who i expect are on good money. Ashton comes in for Lineham and we use the kids as backup. Freeing up space in the cap for elsewhere in the team/squad.

Whether we agree with it or not i understand the rationale behind it.

If this is indeed the case then I personally would rather we lost Charnley

Me too, it's probably down to whose contract expires first.

It will be interesting to see where he goes a return to hull ? Maybe Wigan with manfredi retiring?

He will leave some big boots to fill in not sold on it being cap restrictions if we're rumoured to be interested in Tom Davies then he will be looking at similar money now. It shows there's still some uncertainty on Ashton if we're looking at Davies with Ashton to replace Charley.after another year ?

Rumour is Leeds for Tom Lineham isn't it?

Yes. Agar worked with him and knows him as good as anyone.

I think it would be a good move for both, especially given he wants to settle down over the dark side of the pennines. I'd much rather he went to Leeds than saints or Wigan, Leeds are still a good 5 or 6 quality players off competing at the top IMO.
