Again "Marquee" doesn't necessarily mean you are the highest paid. Lets say you have a squad at £200,000 shy of full cap including a (non marquee) player on £300,000. You have a player from Aus who wants £300,000. The only way you can fit him in is to designate him marquee.
I'm not saying that is what happened here, this is for illustration purposes only.

Too late, Warrington Guardian is running this story tomorrow morning and the Mole on Twitter is going to state Austin is £300,000 and we're only offering him £200,000 to stay.

That's still more than his performances deserve at the moment. He's a really good player but he isn't performing.

You were doing so well until “Austin” instead of “Austo”

Ok, what if Clark signed a 1 year deal on 500k, then signs a 2 year deal on 125k. That would be two different contracts lodged to the RFL.....Clark got his marquee money and we got Austin and Widdop on current marquee deals.

I don’t know why we are bothering discussing the Salary Cap. Every supporter of other teams know we have a) the most creative accountants or b) the salary cap doesn’t apply to Wire or c) both

That's exactly why you can't do it, remember back to when we were trying to get rid of ben harrison, he had time left on his contract and we were trying to get rid, he had a deal on the table from somewhere else, the rfl/sl blocked it because there was a sudden and drastic 'valuing' of a player.

Lets not forget that this all got cocked up by wigan, in 2006 who broke the spirit of the cap and ruined it for the rest of us.


The bloody pies!!!!

Not really a shock,i would be VERY surprised if we re-signed him, He has 1 good year wherever goes then his form goes. He might be best signing 1 year deals at clubs then moving on.

Made available for 2022 or 2021 do we think?

22, powell incoming.

He is now!
