There was a post on RedVee last night referring to one of their players that soon got deleted (by their mods I assume).
No idea what's gone on but the few posts that appeared weren't very happy.

They are quite clever in how they deal with the cap. Burrell won't count at all, Charnley will have a dispensation and they have two marquee players.

The issue they have is they have about 18/19 top players and absolutely nothing below that which is why they fall apart once they get an injury or two.

Not sure they manage it well at all

They get Burrell for "0" amount 1st year (think that may have finished now?)then half counts until they have to pay full.
"New Talent Pool Dispensation – Any Player who has not previously played Rugby League is given a value of £0 in the first year of his contract and at 50% of his true value in the second year"

Either way if they paid him nothing year one it's still too much.
50% of whatever it is WAAAAYYYY too much

All Charnleys wages count, he gets no dispensation

Tour other point is correct
Outside their top 19/20 they're really struggling.

Seen a post on the "other" site a couple of weeks ago and once again people criticising Wigan and holding Warrington up as though we should be copying their structures.

Never
Will people ever learn!

Josh not get a dispensation for returning to the game? Although that might be over now as well.

Burrell was a good gamble considering he doesn't affect the cap too much.

  Returning Talent Pool Dispensation – Any Player who has not previously played rugby league in the 5 years prior to signing is given a value of 50% of his true value in the first year of his contract and 75% of his true value in the second year

Burrell is Pants
His 1st year is up end of June, after that ANYTHING hes being paid affects the cap 50% and it'll be too much.

When? Don't recall him doing anything whilst a Saints player?

Interesting! Que sera sera.

Before he joined the saints I don't recall him beating any women, he must have learned it somewhere right?

A back? Forward? I'm intrigued!

What if its... a half back!

This the incident involving a centre I've heard about?

I take it back then

He did nothing why he was at saints that we know of so we'll forget his previous drug ban and assault charges.

Love to see the meltdown if we went and signed him after yet another assault charge, or any other player similar.

Matthew storton needs an op and will be out for 8 weeks,joe keyes will be out for 6 weeks due to cannonball tackles.
