Was in the cherry and whites lounge on friday and a quite reliable source was saying that forshaw had been out earlier in the week to see a player about signing for next year, the man in the fram is chev walker. views on this please
In addition to this i was talking to paul prescotts dad and he was saying that noble had all the players together earlier in the week and told them that we will not be getting a points deduction and if we beat bradford on frday (as we did) the amount of points they are going to get deducted would mean that we go abopve them in the league. Weather or not this was motivational speak from Noble but i thought he mmight know a thing or two about it since he was the manager that spent thier money for the best part of last season.

New signing and info on salary cap
Re: New signing and info on sa...
What side of the centres does he play compared to Goulding? I would have thought if we were not getting King then Goulding should be given a first team slot to replace DV.LKC29 posted:

I would not like Walker to arrive and keep Goulding out of the team so it depends if the centres are to be Goulding and Walker (with Bailey to second row) or Bailey and Walker with Guouding back in the U21's.
I don't think Noble would have an idea of how much Bradford were over the cap because he was coach there. The salary cap is a complicated thing in terms of what is and what is not included on it in terms of what counts as a players wage. A lot of that is down to interpretation by the people doing the salary cap audit so I doubt Noble would know why Bradford were over. Unless of course they were so far over simply on agreed contracts before he left it was obvious but I doubt this would be true.In addition to this i was talking to paul prescotts dad and he was saying that noble had all the players together earlier in the week and told them that we will not be getting a points deduction and if we beat bradford on frday (as we did) the amount of points they are going to get deducted would mean that we go abopve them in the league.

I can't see the RFL making the cap breaches of Wigan, Saints and the Bulls known to other clubs either so I am sceptical that Nobby knows something we don't unless he has a contact at the Bulls but then why would they tell him anything?
I think we are just going to have to wait and see. I hope you are right so lets see if this Thursday the Bulls are indeed due a points deduction big enough to take them below us. If they are then that is the first part of your rumour confirmed.

Going on the new rules i think it would be good to have chev (id rather have matt king) and goulding centers bailey to second row to replace fletcher who is out of contract at the end of the season

Quote from an old article concerning the "Play Now - Pay Later" deals going on in Rugby League, in Australia and New Zealand.

Shows really, that the Salary Cap is nothing more than a restriction in trade and should be abolished. It was only applied because jealous Yorkshire clubs wanted to handle "Big Club's" purse strings. Nothing to do with evening out the competition.

Re: New signing and info o...
if we get docked points then dw should spend some of his money and challenge the salary cap in court.how can we make the game more attractive to people,(to play the game and invest money) if they keep holding the big clubs back to hold up the smaller clubs.

Re: New signing and info o...
Have been told by a few people who know about these sorts of things. That if the salary cap was taken to court the RFL wouldnt have a leg to stand on. somthing do with a EU trade law.
