Not another Rovers reject, it'll be Webstar all over again

The precedent has been set, just de-register one of our lesser quota spots

The precedent has already been set for this too, do a Wire and agree a lower contract this season with a massively improved contract next season to make up for any loss.

So we've got enough money to pay off a player and sign Dobson?

Considering we are going to still be paying that player for this season regardless and have a little money left on the cap due to Berro and Tansey leaving and only been replace by Obst and Phelps, I would say yes.

Andy Willson summed up the whole situation in this line "The reaction has been furious, in some quarters. Rovers may not be breaking any rules, but they are driving a coach and horses through the loopholes in them."

But the player we pay off (one of every one but Obst) will still want their salary fully paying.

If we could get him on a 2 and half year deal I'd go for it, but I doubt it.

Unless a player gets "injured"......

They'd still want paying off.

Indeed, and at a premium as they'd be unlikely to get a new deal elsewhere.

Lets not forget Dobson is out for a long time yet.

dream on boys.

Unless it was Moa you paid off who out of our overseas players would be on the least and is out of contract end of the season.

does Hame's run out this year as well?

I don't know their salaries but lauaki, moa, fitz, o'meley and phelps' contract run out this year.

Yes
