Not entirely true. They're saying they can't afford him due to the salary cap, not that they don't want him. I'm sure if they had the money it'd be different. It makes you wonder where their salary cap money is being spent though, because having re-watched last Friday's game again there's no-one in that team whose deserving of big money such as you can imagine the likes of Barrett, Long, KFC, Matt King etc would be on. Infact, I hope that Leo-Lato's paying for the chance to be on the pitch, because he's probably the worst player I've seen in Superleague all season and that includes Ricky Bibey!

Wildcats end chase for Sculthorpe

Wakefield do not have the room in their salary cap to sign Paul Sculthorpe, according to the player's agent.

The 30-year-old has been told he will not be offered a new deal by St Helens and Wildcats boss John Kear had expressed an interest in signing him.

His agent David Howes said: "Wakefield have informed us their salary cap won't allow them to enter negotiations."

Sculthorpe is out of contract at the end of the season and Howes added the player could yet still join Salford.

"Wakefield are no longer candidates, but there is still a possibility of Salford re-entering negotiations," said Howes.

"They are waiting for Paul to finish the season and they will review it.

"We are at the back end of the big spend, but there is another month before we start pressing the panic buttons."

Probably because scully wants a big final pay day and asked for a ridiculous amount - ala what Matt King is on at wire

That's my take on it as well, and I'd have to laugh if he's priced himself out of the market. Realistically, none of the clubs are going to want to pay too much for someone who misses half of every season, although with rumours of Spotty Harris going to a coaching role at Warrington instead of Celtic Crusaders (today's MEN), maybe there's a final payday for Scully in the south of Wales?

Does look as though the greedy St Helens pig is asking for too much money, from what I read on teletext today. Too much of a gamble anyway with all his recent injury problems. Perhaps Noble will sign him, and that will be another chunk of the salary cap sat in the stand.

Sorry Ricky Bibey is in a class of his own when it comes to being the worst player in Super league.
