Maybe you got another exception because you actually signed the deals 3 years ago?

No. That's completely wrong. You wouldn't be trolling by any chance would you? Enjoy your "promotion" party on the Stobart pitch this weekend. Not exactly hallowed turf is it? I wouldn't graze a donkey on it - unlike Widnes have been doing for the last four years.

I'm that worried about us breaking the salary cap for the 2012 season I've been walking around with a black arm-band due to the imminent death of a once proud Club through mis-guided spending and the resulting liquidation that will occur.

Thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of the shareholders and volunteers at this saddest of times.

Most stupid thread. Ever.

Not at all, we've also signed Warringtons accountant.

Ratu, Black, Greenwood, Clayton, Nash would all have been on a reasonable wage and they are no longer on the payroll.

We're signing "very good" players but not "super stars" ........ Roonie and Cadic must have broken Barrow's back not to mention having to pay their players "a premium" to travel up there. And I bet Leigh spent "over the odds" on the likes of Robbie Paul .... errr, sorry, Robbie Hunter-Paul, not to mention their coach Ian Millward! To me we're signing a well balanced squad.

He said it himself a couple of months back, not sure if he has decided to continue playing though

Our BOD will be spending money we have.
They will not be budgeting for possibilities, i.e Finals.
Any extra income, again finals, play offs will be a bonus.
I also understand that extra income from finals is usually eaten up in players bonuses.

Think there could be a few new faces waiting on the tables in Roger Harveys coffee shop/restaurant in town perhaps?
