| Quote: gary numan "My theory, because we have a play off system and a season long of medicroty doesn't rule you out of becoming champions. We are able to spend a big part of the season seeing which of the youngsters can cut it at SL level and which can't, then later in the season strengthen where applicable. Of course the club couldn't say that publicly as it would affect ticket sales.'"
I would think that could likely be the case. We have seen a fair bit of rotation with the younger lads and i think we can already see who looks likely to come through and cement their place in the first team. I like the look of the Evans boys but not so much Riley, for example. I would like to see more of Dwyer and i think it's time Currie really showed us what he's made of now.

| Don't forget Currie is a teenager and a forward, I think people do need to put that in context.
Riley for such a big lad has awful leg drive and seems to have little strength.
England played well at Leeds but has had his injuries.
B.Evans hasn't stood out but equally hasn't done anything wrong.
Laithwaite is industrious but at the moment he's in that category that Mitchell/Tyke/Cooper/Blythe have been in. Good but are they good enough, take the Cooper route and good but he could go the other way.

| Problem for Saints is Luke Walsh has put himself in the shop window by showing how good he is and once the big clubs start circling it becomes a question of can they keep hold of him, like Briers in the Challenge Cup run of 1997.

Tony Smith a couple of weeks before the season started was asked on local radio if Warrington had any further signings?
He answered that he didn't have but said there was room in the cap for further signings if needed.
I heard that myself.'"
He didn't say £400,000 though. What a load of rubbish. Have you been hearing the voices again?

I'll never forget walking to the bus station from Priestley and seeing Lee being driven in, in tears in the back of the car.

I know what you mean, last week my friend's wife had their 1st child. The tears of joy he shed when he told me must have been similar to the tears Lee (P&BBUH) shed that day.

Struth. No he didn't, it must been some pocket change he is referring too, enough to buy a bag of chips with in the rain, so he could field a wet chip!
People around here also hear voices too.

It's you that's been referring to £400,000, no-one else has mentioned it.

nobody else did until I did on here it seems. I'm not the first around Warrington.
Still there is enough on show, or perhaps I should say not on show, to give it legs.
I don't go making rumours up, although I'm certainly guilty of passing some on.
Somebody in recent circles at Warrington spoke of it too in discussion in all things RL to me when I picked him up one time.

| Ok, I'll take the bait.
We've lost Morley, Carvell, Briers, Hodgson & Cooper.
We've signed Russell, Asotasi & Penny and extended (and I assume) upgraded other existing players terms.
I draw three possible conclusions from this :
1). We are £400K under the salary cap with cash to spend if required
2). We are not £400K under the cap in which case some of our players have superb agents
3). The club have various targets signed up for next year and are thinking in terms of next years cap
Based on performances this year I'd suggest 2, 1, 3 in that order.

Yeah for forgot about them (for perhaps obvious reasons except Solomana). Solo will have been on a good contract but it probably cost us 10 grand to get the door widened to shove Williams ar*e out of it.

Dunno. Was just trying to give the management the benefit of the doubt really in the hope they have a baldrick-esque plan up their sleeve to explain the apparent difference in our salary cap spending to last year. I think I'm sticking with the theory that we are well under the cap and some of the players agents have deep pockets, fat wallets and happy clients.
