Potentially, yes, although I think I remember reading that the salary cap value of a player you have signed from another club mid season, cant be lower than the value of his current contract. So if Lui was on £80k at Salford, we couldn’t pay him £50k in year one then £100k in years 2 and 3 as his year one deal would be lower than his current contract. His salary cap value in year one would have to be at least £80k.

I’m going for a lie down.

Looks like the OP was right. League Express reporting we're close to making a signing.

Craig Hall?

Outside back cover perhaps given Johnsons injury?

The article kind of indicates Charnley is who we could push for.

With just £50k?

It could be that Sale pay part of his contract which will unofficially come out of our transfer fee for him. A loop hole?


However wishful thinking....more likely Craig Hall...who is actually a decent player.

I've not heard Charnley described as a loophole before though I have heard him called something similar.

Just got the text about "big news coming soon". Usually these things are a disappointment (contract renewal or something) - but in light of this thread, I'm optimistic.

I'm glad we are adding to the ranks. I suppose we will have to wait and see what this news is before passing comment.

Charnley - it's on the official Twitter

What a signing

That one slipped the " Duckie Nailed-On"

However, Bondo who started this thread, gets a gold star

Isn't there some sort of salary cap exemption for luring players back from RU?
