| I’m gutted he’s gone.
But I agree with few others that if 660k is what it would have cost to potentially keep him, that would not at this stage of our clubs plan have been a wise move.
I believe our 5 year plan is foremost to create a self sustaining SL club that constantly competes in the top 6. As much as success on the field is a key part, to try to do that by retaining one player, at the cost of other vital areas, is not big picture planning.
I would dearly have loved to see him sign and stay, but I believe there is a reason it has not happened.
(Plus how many other quality players and future quality players can $660 bring if we do have that available).

Myler's mania is a little bewildering. HFC could soon be facing more financial misconduct charges than Manchester Arabia!
Serious question (or two)
A little research on the subject revealed that the normal punishment for a breach is 2 points. Unfortunately they are unlikely to breach this year, with no real possibility of them achieving nil points in the season (can still dream).

| Bongser defers to both your ken and research, Sep, but recalls Marwan buying a flashy car for one of his (then) Salford players. Found to be in breach of cap, Salford were given a dock of six points - suspended until a time of the RFL's choosing!! They hated Marwan - and later adopted his idea (pooh-poohed at the time) of allowing Marquee Players!

| I’ve heard Asiata has looked into backing out of his Hull deal, whether it goes any further or not remains to be seen. Unhappy with the way Hull have handled things and a change of heart with Lam signing a long term deal with Leigh.

| Asiata is truly top class but he hasn't played regularly since the cup final last year. I think its time for him to move on.
Trout is learning quickly about go forward and ruck speed and i think will become a monster next season. We will miss his ball playing skills but they are replaceable. I think i would rather have the cap space and quota spot at this time.
Asiata has been immense and i will never forget his contribution to the semi final against St Helens but it just feels like time.
