Burrell doesn’t count on the cap this season.

Well it was Brown’s own words,he said back mid July, wether that means we lose the dispensation I’ve no idea how that works.

Chaz I think that Burrell's signing uses a different dispensation, he doesn't count on the cap for 18 months because we've lured him from another sport....a more expensive Taylor Prell with perhaps less experimentation?

Presumably if Brown's season isn't over and he features then his whole salary will count on this year's cap? I'm not sure how this works with that dispensation, but, again presuming that it's a live cap that will be managed

KB might play free of charge while his wife gets paid for ironing his socks.

Yes, Captain Hook and you are right. I had forgotten what KFP had said about introducing sportsmen that have never played professional rugby being exempt.

And yes, if Brown did play his yearly salary (rather than a month or so) would count on the cap.

I think Dec has done enough to prove we're OK without snap buying another half back. We"ll see how he does against the Pies.

I always thought he'd be good enough. OK he isn't going to be an instant George Williams in attack but he's a honest lad, who tries his best, loves Wire, a little on the small size but fearless and a he'll of a lot better than George Williams in defence!

Couldn't be any worse in defence after seeing that video on social media

I don’t think I will ever tire of watching Wigan’s marquee player tackling The Invisible Man!

I believe Thursday is the last of Dec P trial period. If the club deem him a success...there will not be a dip into the market for another half.

So this is a non story then?

Any update on the situation?
