And if they were supposedly looking at Hodgson then I'd probably be questioning that somewhere on here too! haha

I have questioned them to my mates in the past but always give up coz they're probably untouchable from the RFL anyway.

Leeds squad is built differently though. They have a lot of players they produced through their academy, whereas you've bought most of your top players and therefore would be expected to pay more.

Doesn't matter does it?

Top players will want top money doesn't matter if they bought them or not.

Someone said it the other day one problem of the cap is its harder to hold onto good players that have come through the youth system because there isn't the money so they go elsewhere.

TBH im amazed,now we are starting to do well people start on the salary cap,if we are cheating we would be found out,SIMPLE. SO why not get back on to the title of the topic.

MOVE ON NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

We broke it in 2005 as well and had 2 points knocked off when fighting relegation in 2006.

yeah because melbourne were found out straightaway.....

You've convinced me, some Wiganers are thick/ignorant.

By the time he left, Gleeson was a cancer at our club. Talented player but an absolute . Getting him out of the door for £100k and replacing him with a player like Mathers was the perfect solution for a club that desperately needed a fresh attitude. Wigan needed a strike player and had £100k to waste. Everybody won.

Mathers has his limitations as a player but he made a significant contribution to our season and winning our first trophy for 30 odd years. You might not like it but it's true. If Mathers gets shipped out to be replaced by Brett Hodgson I'll be sad to see him go but there's no shame in that.

And the underlined is what convinces me that some Wire fans are thick/ignorant.

Works two ways.

Yes it does work both ways. On another thread on here someone has quoted Feka as being on £200,000. I've no doubt he isn't, but look at your overseas and federation trained players (all 9 of them), all of whom will be on good money, then Fielden, Gleeson etc, and you start to wonder how Wigan get under the Cap.

Why have we got 9? I can only count 6.

Roberts, Riddell, Carmont, Bailey, Feka and Phelps.

Leuluai, Richards and he's probably counting Hansen

As for all of them being on good money. Bailey took a massive pay cut for his extention this year, and Carmont and Phelps will be on Peanuts.

Yes I am. Hansen has played international football. Please don't say that Richards is Irish.

Hansen came through our academy. He counts as home grown. & your the first person to bring up Richards being Irish in this thread
