Which team's cap - Batley? So 20% of the salary cap was being taken up by Faz and Rads - how much do you think Keith Senior gets at Leeds, someone like Vainokolo at the Dulls, Sculthorpe Long and KFC at the Skints? None of them will be cheap and will be eating into their clubs' salary caps probably with similar amounts to the Wigan players.

I bought Jason Robinsons autoboigraphy and that makes intresting reading.He was one of the greatest players to wear the cherry and white and at the peak of his career he was offered a reduced contract at this club he was injury free and always performed and was one of the few players the aussies didnt have a clue what to do with as proved by the RU world cup final.Why were we letting players of this calibre go Mr Lindsay

Because we couldn't match the money and opportunity offered by union. If we offered him a reduced contract maybe we had finally started to realise we should only be spending what we could afford!!

This guy had no intention of leaving there was dead wood at this club at that time.Maybe we were overspending but what does the sensible management team do continually sell there prize assets and wonder about there loss of performance.If we had of dropped two players to fit within the salary cap we would of had a world class player who had very few injury problems flash forward four years and what have we been reduced to
