No thanks

Agreed. Easily the most exciting side to watch either side of the world IMO.

Please no more Hame !!!!

Use differently, what you mean less than 10mins x 2 per game ?

Devestating when runs onto the ball ? Must have missed that occasion - almost always stops at the contact - in complete contrast to Ogre, Manu, Ticks & Moa.

Utter waste of a quota spot, amazing how after 2 1/2 years of being way too heavy he slims down and starts tol ook useful - surely nothing to do with contract expiring ? Kingy did the same about 2 or 3 times I recall.

Just move on, please.

Meaning

Mostly you've actually just proved the point. O'Meley and Moa are the the only 2 players in our side who regularly drop back to actually RUN onto the ball. The rest mainly receive it standing or just ambling up. Manu is a freak and can push tacklers off anyway.

For me fans have unrealistic expectations of him, they assume he should be steamroling the opposition week in week out which is nonsense. He is a big guy and should mean defenders expend a lot of energy bring him to ground. He regularly bumps off a defender and spins in the tackle. My point is go back to when he first joined he ran like an animal and gained penalties, he also gave a few away.

I just feel we have tried to turn him into something he isn't and he doesn't seem to have a clear defined role within the team. Playing him outwide doesn't work the way we move the ball so slowly. We'd be better off using him as a battering ram like Moa.

I think he will do really well at Wigan.

only works like that in the first year of their contract and if you pay them off before the season starts. Once they've played a competitive game for you any payoff counts over full length of contract.

Plenty of times I have seen him put shots on, not as frequent as others though. I have absolutely no doubt he will do well at Wigan and improve enormously.

Chris Hicks?

brown paper bag job .

plus from memory he'd just signed a new 1 year deal. under those circumstances the previous years playing for warrington didnt count. he hadnt played a competitive game for them under his new deal so they could pay him off without it counting on cap.

Nope.

In fact I've just checked the latest copy of the Operational Rules and it looks like it no longer matters when you pay the player off...


So that seems to say that as soon as you agree a release deal for a player he stops counting on your cap and starts counting on the cap of his new club - which makes far more sense than the previous situation.

EDIT: Actually, that just covers a payment not provided for in the player's contract. If a termination clause is built in the it will have already counted on the cap value of that player during his employment and immediately ceases to count once he leaves.

no it doesnt. all that says is that the value of the termination package is what counts on the slary cap rather than his original cap value. so say a player was on a 100k a yr deal with 2 yrs left. his cap value is 100k in each year. You agree to terminate his contract for a one off 50k payment. you would now take a 25k a year hit on you slary cap rather than the original 100k.

that doesn't make any sense when taking Kosh's quoted rules into account. the £50k would count once, as £50k.
