An offer has been made to bird, but ian lenegan does not expect it to be accepted as other clubs may have offered more money, but ian won't pay more for players than what he thinks they are worth (and rightly so in my opinion)

Not significantly cheap enough to stop us from spending the full salary cap , we've broke the bl**dy thing twice!

Is that 20k after the offer to bird

We only have £20,000 left on the salary cap. That could change if we do some loan deals. Offer made to Bird, IL does not expect him to accept it.

glad I didnt go. crap

That depends entirely on the judgement of Ian Lenegan if thats the decision. I hope he realises some players are worth a significant amount of money. Trent Barrett an example.

With regards to signings and releasing players he said we have about £20K left on the cap.

He went on to say that we would like a prop but we would not consider letting any of our young props go on a permanent deal, listing O'Carroll and Prescott. He did however say that it would be a possibility that we could loan certain players out to 'smaller' SL clubs to make room on the cap and within the squad.

We have made Bird an offer but he doesn't think we'll get him.

One club has asked for a £75K transfer fee for a player we're interested in. We won't pay that for this player.

Any progress on the new conditioning staff that IL promised after the last forum ?

As if I'd rub it in.

These fans forums are only useful when the club is in turmoil.



Personally I'm happy with the squad bar the possible prop short.

What a stupid statement from Lenagan.

Three words - why bother then?

He did say he would pay up to £50K

Going with I think.

They said we were within £20k of the cap.

Although they also said that a player purchase mid season with a bit of maneuvering is always possible.
