Listening to Radford after the game he said he want Bower to play but couldn't due to the salary cap. As i understood it the first 25 players counted on the cap. So does this mean although Logan is now fit he cannot play either?

Radford said that Logan might be available this week.

Good job the cap is increasing next year, needs to with all these injuries.

Just had another look at the cap regulations.

It's the top 25 earners plus anyone else who has played in a relevant cap game.



Not sure what "will or do play" is about.

=#FF0000Edit: I guess that with the cap being live, "will play" applies in Bower's case, being his first match of the season.

Does that mean Hadley counts then?

Not good if you get loads of injury's that you cannot use your kids. Maybe a rule change is needed or dispensation so kids under said age can play without putting you over the cap.

No.

Yeah have used 25 players so must be saving the remaining money for when Logan is back

In theory, Logan already counts on the cap.

Then surely in theory Hadley also counts?

The only thing I can think of is if he doesn't play and plays for another side (who pay his wages), it doesn't count on your cap?

That's all I can think of too, when did he first go to Wakefield?

No - he's out on loan.
