Plus, does the wage not count on the cap?

Just quickly back to the integrity fuelled Cas statement.......in last weeks LE I read that they had offered a deal to Clare and also quoted Powell on the reasons it hadn't happened. Nice one Cas

Correct D - It's also on page 7 in this week's LE.

Don't Cas have to be [i'seen to be doing the right thing' ?[/i

Not a disparaging remark, more that as Cas are embroiled in legal proceedings regards DS & Sale, they need not give Sale any ammunition over integrity/morals etc.

However, the [i'rumour'[/i I heard was that Leigh outbid Cas in terms of value of contract to Clare.

Cas are a bit tight on cap after Hardaker.

I hope Kieran Moss gets a gig. Probably a better fit for Widnes post-Brown but he's a quality player in that FB / SO mould. If your pack makes gaps he will go through them.

From what I have picked up in sunny Tigertown this afternoon we (Tigers) offered James a deal and he has turned us down. Not too surprised on that since we showed him the door a couple of seasons ago. Nothing to do with finance or salary cap either - he sees himself getting more game time with your good selves. He's a good lad is James and he'll do well for you.

Clare trained with Leigh today and goes warm weather training with them tomorrow.

Went shopping today in Morris ons, there was a bloke in a Leigh tracksuit ,obviously a player, and I didn't recognise him , I asked him who he was,and said I'm a Leigh fan, he told me he was James Clare and had just signed for us.

You'll fall for owt you Diggy, that Jarryd Hayne loves a laugh

You know me to well Mo,I still put a carrot and milk out at Christmas.

You got any spare three quarters we can borrow for a season?
