Reading Briscoe's interview in the programme it doesn't sound as though he's too confident about getting back for next Sunday.He want's to make sure the injury has healed properly and maybe in the long run that will be a wise decision.

I thought that de-registering a player just affected the O/S quota, by allowing you to fill the extra O/S quota spot gained by doing so, but didn’t allow you to wipe his wages from the Salary Cap?

I don't think we are anywhere near the SC anyway though.

When we de-registered Hulse that was to free up salary cap space IIRC.

I suppose it would make sense then. I had hoped that we were nowhere near the S/C though. But, if we need to de-register players to reduce it, we must be.

Seems as though Cullen and Betts have taken my advice.

I believe Gareth will be joining up with you soon.

We always knew you'd come good in the end John
