Perhaps wigan were already salaried upto the hilt (and beyond) due to paying top dollar for some average players, and a few poor ones (couple of props spring to mind).

When we are done for salary cap breaches, feel free to come here and gloat all you want.

300k for the hottest property in the game (arguabbly) an England international and a 19yr old with 10 - 15 years left in him?

I'd say that's quite a good deal tbh with you!

Leeds and Saints have both got far better squads than Warrington so how do they fit all their players under the salary cap....?

Even all those big gun names that you mention, man for man how many would get into the first team at either Saints or Leeds...about 3 at best.

I didn't think they did stay under the cap?

It aways causes me much amusement how many fans are in the know about how much a player is on..they don't ...FACT

until we are officially hauled up over this..I am happy to live in ignorance...others might think about doing the same!

Totally agree - they come on here moaning about our wages - yet it's them that have been done in the past for going over...and we never have - funny that!!!!

The transfer fee doesn't count towards the salary cap.

This year we have got rid of Gleeson and Reardon and brought in Carney and Mathers who I assume will not be on anywhere close to the players we've lost.

Also rumoured to be going at the end of the season are Rauhihi and Johnson who will be on decent money.

Still don't let things like this get in the way of your bitter and twisted moaning.

£300k for a support player olol

Well you dont say. ,Moron. I would never have guessed.

Erm.. support to who? Not bad if England interntional wants to be a support player, i'd be worried!

for all those people talking about briers wage been off cap.

its 50%[size(iirc)[/size of his (and anyone else been at the club for 10+ years) wage, only up to £50k though. and that £50 is for the full squad, not per player

dont know about you lot but 300k must be a load of bull poo? and i have not got a clue what his wage will be but im pretty sure its not going to be close to 300k a year

Breaking the salary cap??....I really can't see it happening anymore, at any club.

I mean, how long as the salary cap been going now??....10 years or so??....If anybody did break it now, I think being kicked out of the league should be a minimum, purely on the basis that the club can't be organised well enough to do its own sums properly.

In the opening years of the cap, I could understand the odd error, as clubs got used to it....I could just about accept a club cheating in order to stay in the league...(well, somebody was bound to try it!!)....However, right now, I'd like to think that clubs are professional and responsible enough to know they have a limit to stick to, and I firmly believe ALL clubs do....Just look at the Challenge Cup finalists and the most open league in years for proof....
