| Having digested all the information, I now believe that Hull is playing Russian Roulette with the clubs finances. 31 year old Asiata is undoubtedly a rare talent in Super League, but Leigh have hardly had value for money since the Challenge Cup final.
The latest injury, reportedly out of another 6 weeks is on the back of just 21 minutes in the home game against Catalans.
Derek has explained that having assessed John, he was worth a one year extension. This was pushed to 2 years because it was Asiata. One player is not worth financially risking the club's stability, especially if the contract needs to be terminated after just one year. Of course John Asiata takes the contract because he is due a last pay day whether he plays or not.

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.
