Ok could be mistaken but i thought he played

Hell of a lot of money considering in the summer he will only have 1 year left on his contract. I was expecting us to pay around £200k.

An out and out scrum half is what we have been crying out for but only time will tell if he proves to be worth it.

Gleeson played for England in the World Cup.
Ah! I get it now! Tony Smith wasn't the coach of the England squad it was an imposter. That's why England were so firkin awful!
That's also why Richard Lewis said after the NZ defeat in the semi that Tony Smith was an outstanding coach. Lewis new it was an imposter too!
There's me thinking all the time that it was the real Tony Smith coaching England in the World Cup.
Next time we go down under in 2010 just make sure the real Tony Smith coaches the team. That'll show them Aussies and Kiwis, we'll thrash them all if the real Tony Smith is there!

It depend if no one else is interested, and if they aren't save your money and get him for free at the end of 2010.

300k for a player who cant defend

That is brilliant.

Somethings going to have to give at Wire how can their cap accomadate

King
Morley
Mongahan
Carvell
Briers
Clarke
Anderson x2
and Myler at 300k?

Have you only just realised this

But no seriously you are spot on last son of wigan. King, Morley, Mongahan and now Myler have all been stated in the press to be on massive money when they sign and its not a well kept secret that Briers is on a huge salary. The Andersons also no doubt will be getting paid alot.

Do transfer fees count under the salary cap?

No but seeing as most super league clubs struggle to make a profit, that is alot of money to spend. He was offered massive money at Salford to become the highest paid player in their history so no doubt he will be on loads at wire.

transfer fee not wages.

It still does seem way over the odds to pay that for a player with only 1 year left on his deal and who has already made it clear he does not want to be at the club beyond 2010.

True, but that 300k may include both a transfer fee and 2 year's wages or something. We could do with more info!



I obviously know nothing about the inner working of what's going on with Salford, Warrington and Myler - but I could imagine he'd take less money to play in a "bigger" team, with better chances of challenging for silverware and so forth.

What does this say about salford i would be very concered that 2 of your stars going to a bigger club how/when will you be able to move if you dont have the squad to demand a new stadium.

No chance, players are motivated by money, it's their job. If you were offered a job at Tesco for £5 an hour and double that at ASDA, which one would you take?

Sorry it did look like I was refering the 300k to cap and not a tranfer fee.
Regardless my point was that there are a lot of big name players at Wire to be all managed under the cap. Adding Myler to the mix surely would put more strain on what already looks a stretched cap.
