Beats me.

I think it still counts on the cap unless they're retiring

Ah.

How did it work with Warrington & Chris Hicks then? Didn't he then go & sign for Parramatta?

he reitired from wire, with a healthy pay off no doubt because im sure he had a year left on his deal....

Dont think thats the problem, McRae claims they are unable to make any further signings due to the Obst situation which leads me to believe there are no cap issues.

If Obst does move on then he can look at the situation again, sounds like paying Obst off is the problem.

Why would paying him off be the problem? We're not exactly short of money are we.

its not something i`m sure off, but if we paid him off would that payment count on the cap, saying that i believe Obst is on holiday at the moment and i would think when he returns all will be resolved and Obst will be on his way.

Maybe they want to see if he can find a club before having to pay him off

Why would Obst be up for that though? If he drags his heels, he can get his contract paid up by us and be earning a wage from wherever he ends up.

Well thats what were led to believe on here! So whats the problem?
