Be interesting to see who clubs try to sign too

one


I don't think all the teams will use the option to be honest. Wigan, Warrington and salford will 100% use it.

I would expect that Sam would have been our marquee player a few years ago, but now that he has pretty much ruled out the NRL again by saying he was homesick we could try to grab a big name from RU or the NRL.

At the minute I would be looking at a centre or a prop.

Jamie Lyon.

Goal-kicker, too...

Watching all the fans of the bottom feeder clubs announcing this as the death of RL is making me smile.

Really hope this is the seismic shift that many on here have been waiting 10+ years for. At last the backwards, cap in hand have nots have been put in their place.

Now let's watch the big boys crack on at trying to get the sport back to where it should be.

Agreed - I was pleasantly surprised there was a majority this time, been trying to find the details of which way the individual clubs voted, but not seen it anywhere.

I know Hudds were against it. You can bet Wakey and Cas were so who else? It was 8-4 in favour.

Hull FC apparently.

I can't regard this as anything but good news. If nothing else, it gives us a better chance to retain or recapture our biggest stars.

I've had a right good laugh on Twitter today. It's as if everyone thinks all the clubs are just going to abandon academies and youth etc, for the sake of chasing one player, who is partly exempt from the cap.

For us though, I read on the local paper that Sam is our 'marquee' player for next year? So I'm assuming we've no movement for a 'big name', rather just cap space for British recruitment.

..or to make sure we're properly recognising existing talent. I suspect some of those who might have been considered spares at the start of the season have a good shout for a pay rise (before their parasite agents turn their heads).
