Unless, as has been suggested, we were well over the cap last year?

100% Guranteed imo.

I can't see how we can't be unless the lads that have left were playing for binmans wages.

Very much of topic but when was the last time the wigan academy produced a big young forward who was build like a tank?

Ricky Bibey

Neil Baynes

<t>It would be madness to go for Cooper as that all we'd get. Cooper alone is not enough and just signing him would be the sort of amazing error i'd expect Mo to make. It won't happen under the new chairman.<br/> <br/> The likes of Cooper are players that should maybe be targeted now for contracts i...

<t>It doesn't need explaining though!<br/> <br/> we have 140k left because Lyndsey pays the players too much and we've broken the salary cap again even with our credit note.<br/> <br/> Lenagan can't do nothing about the mess he's been left with apart from grit his teeth and bare it for a year then w...

<t>How to stretch 140k to what we need :conf: <br/> <br/> We need a fullback, centre and a prop imo. It's going to be hard to get these in of sufficent quality with just that sort of money to play with.<br/> <br/> It may be that we will have run with a utility player if we can get one that maybe can...

<t>We have nobody apart from Barrett that any other superleague side would want?!!<br/> <br/> Thats just a ridiculous statement. There is talent all the way through our side that many superleague clubs would love to have but at the minute it's lacking strengh in depth and a couple of strike players ...

<t>you can tell by the tone of the interview that 140k is what we have not including anybody who may be signed already.<br/> <br/> It doesn't even sound like Leneghan wants to bring anybody in. Noble mentions ahving to try and persuade him we need a couple of players.<br/> <br/> I wouldn't hold my b...

<t>Jeez that sounds really bad.<br/> <br/> I've got to say i'm stunned beyond belief. How the hell is there only 140k left in the kitty?<br/> <br/> The defered payments must really be starting to kick in and i expect Barrett and Fielden are probably on more next season then this(Barrett for sure).<b...

<r>I've got to say i was really impressed with his interview on the wep website.<br/> <br/> He comes across as a very clever bloke and a guy who really cares about the club. He wants to be hands on which is a good sign as i'd be abit worried if somebody was prepared to pay alot of money for a club t...
