Pretty sure it's not simply a matter of cap space - Leigh are seemingly tanked up with cash and, much as we deride their chairman's somewhat eccentric behaviour, he's
sticking his money where his gob is. But, if he's prepared to throw money around and we're outbid, then that's just a fact of life and little that Ferres can do about it.

Most likely their 'brown envelopes' are bigger than anyone else!...Who needs a salary cap then!

Timmy Taylor's or Sam Smiths?

Good news is that Derek's been joined by a bloke equally as wealthy and daft about Leigh

As much as I disliked the signing at the time and what happened subsequently I'd love a Iestyn Harris signing right now.

As long as we didn't end up with all the same sort of fall out

Not too bothered about burns, other than the general annoyance that our toughest champ rival have signed 3 halfs whilst we failed to sign 1. I'd have taken him but he's probably not exactly what we need. I'm more bothered about missing out on drinkwater if we were in for him. But having said that we clearly don't want to get in a bidding war on salaries with Leigh as we'd lose or end up paying over the odds.

On the bright side at least now even leigh might not need any more halfbacks! But I'm thinking we arent going to get one now before the 8's and we'll have to go with some combination of addy/gaskell/Thomas/mathers, with my choice being Thomas 7 and gaskell 6, addy 13 and mathers filing in to rest gaskell at 6 when we can.

We might get Bateman back on loan

I don't think he's up to halfback Roger!

But in all seriousness, is that based on anything other than the rumours of his off field antics?
