I get the cap needs to safeguard against false situations created as a backdoor for getting rid of deadwood, but in this instance there's a major player welfare issue.
If paying him off does count against the cap, then it's almost forcing the club to keep trying different things. That's not good for GB and could seriously impact his long term health.
The club need to be able to strike a deal with him that, not only suits both parties financially, but also doesn't impact our cap spend too.'"
no as the medical insurance pays him off not the club |

I never said he hasn't got insurance, I just doubt how easy it will be to get a payout on a pre-existing injury. Much like every other type of insurance people get.
Most life insurance policies either refuse cover, or push up the premium to cover even the smallest existing condition. Why would a sports insurer be different, especially seeing the risk of injury is greatly increased? |

I know but thats like saying manfredi cant get a payout on his knee if he retired die to it, he was given a new contract with it so would ne not be covered? Dont think sports insurance works like that. Sam Burgess was paid off and he has his shoulder issues for 10 years |

Think you are all jumping the gun. Looked like Wigan are being patient and trying to diagnose the problem properly.
He would have to take voluntary retirement to get him off the books....

Of course the club will support him as they will never admit that they had made a mistake in signing a player on reputation with no checks on any injury or fitness.
A total embarrassment for the club in the eyes of the Rugby League World

Oooohh ooh ooh!
I think 8 know the answer to this one
Is it "None"?
(Just like he had no proof that all the staff at leigh knew they'd got un SL before either was announced, when corrected never to be seen on that thread again.) |

This reads like it was a different injury to his other shoulder issues...
