Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

| Quote: Seventies red "We were in the upstairs club after the game and spoke to one of the directors,(wont name him),he informed us that Clinton should be here in two weeks time and its nothing to do with his visa, its just a couple of minor technical details which have to be sorted out,
Apparently,(as far as i can remember after half a dozen pints), its something to do with Uk employment law which requires you to prove you have enough money to be able be self sustaining or have a benfactor who will be able to make such provision
It may be similar to the law in Australia which requires you prove you can afford to keep yourself or at least have a benefactor who can, when applying for a visa there.'"
That's exactly to do with his visa. One of the new requirements is that you can support yourself before you get here. I'm surprised that Rovers haven't sorted that out tbh. They have an "A" rating under the new Home Office system and can certify the support needed. Could have been done ages ago. (thats a freebie btw, but any more and I'll have to charge  ) |

According to today's Express 'sources in Australia' are saying the delay is due to the RFL being unable to ratify the Clinton deal because Rovers are struggling to fit him under the salary cap. Sorry no link as yet but it is in the paper. Says Rovers may need to release a player. Wasn't this speculated about previously ?

Pity we couldn't get rid of Mills during last years cap. I suppose we were a bit naive in giving mediocre players long term deals when we first came up.

How can rovers be at full salary cap?
I thought they enough to bring in someone last season if needed.
international bonuses for briscoe and fox go on the cap i believe but surely they aren't that much?

Think there have been some contract upgrades. And the boost from international status can be quite significant.
The SC story would explain things neatly and fits with the available information, including the club line that Clinton hasn't signed yet. Technically he hasn't signed until the RFL approve his contract, regardless of whether a contract has been agreed between him and the club.
Odd that this wasn't sorted out sooner though. Maybe a player has dug their heels in regarding a move? |

| I'm struggling to comprehend how it cap be a salary cap issue? I'm sure someone from over the river can add the finite salary details, but we released the following last year:
Fitzhenry
Fozzard
Aizue
Gene
Esders
And replaced them with (so far):
Ratu
Cook
Hodgson.
Surely that has freed up >100K on the cap? Maybe the £150k salary Clinton was getting at the Bronco's is what we are having to stump up to get him to come over?
The plot thickens.  |

TBF, she's not who I had in mind. Her line tends to be fact-based (albeit fact bordering on tedium! ). There are many others who claim to know exactly how much every squad member earns, and know doubt what flavour of crisps they lean towards!

Not forgetting Briscoe & Fox are now have international experience and that will have triggered contract upgrades for the pair, not sure what amounts we are talking about though.

Thought Briscoe already had a cap before he signed ! |
