Yes, we have known about this saga for some time. But according to League Express, Leigh wish to take him and we are happy to release him. The sticking point according to Leigh is that they will give him a lower salary than he is currently earning at Wire but the RFL rules state that the Leigh salary cap must use his existing salary at Wire, which would push Leigh over the limit. Leigh said that they are in discussions with the RFL since the rules do not make sense.
Personally, if this is correct I can not understand the logic in the rules either, however we are probably missing some nuance as it does seems to be nonsensical.
