There is no such thing as marquee spots, in terms of restrictions on signings.

Precisely, marquee is just dispensation for a certain amount only counting on the cap. You can pay people whatever you like as long as you stay within the cap limit.

I realise that, But only a maximum of two can count for that dispensation which is what I was getting at and the fact TWP as well as having no quota spots to bring Hastings in, also have 2 players already (reportedly) taking up the marquee dispensation

We're allowed to talk about the wider game not just Leeds. In fact more people in RL should do the same and we might get some product improvement but thats a whole new thread

which is correct, they have the highest paid centre in rugby league in Ricky Leutele and then Sonny Bill Williams.

Absolutely correct. I believe Toronto will still pull off another big signing but it's likely going to be somebody from Rugby Union so that the salary can be exempt for the first year like Warrington did with Burrell
