so we have it in one Wigan can spend more than the cap, so not a level playing field, looking at the Wigan squad there is no way they are not at full cap so Matty will take them further over. The RFL have no balls when it comes to the salary cap, Wigan caught three times cheating combined total loss of points 6, JCWWRL you are in cloud cuckoo land if you think Wigan have any space under the cap, perhaps a couple of players might play for nothing again to get below the cap, or Matty's partner is being employed as a consultant?

Well, here's one to get your cheat antenna twitching. I didn't listen to the programme, but, according to someone on TotalRL, Matty Smith was on the RL programme on Radio Manchester last night and he said he's still being paid by Salford, with Wigan then refunding us.

Fill your boots.

So, technically speaking, he's on loan then?

WHAT`S THE POINT of having a salary cap at all ???
If what Smith is saying is true,then I just give up.
Wigan must be at it again. They did it with Dobson to avoid relegation, and now it looks like they`re doing it with Smith, in other words-----CHEATING.
Dont get me wrong. I believe Super league needs a strong Wigan [ and Bradford for that matter ]
But I just wonder if Salford would be allowed to get away with it ??

Re: Matty Smith : Fri Jul 13, 2012 2:04 pm  

it was only last season people was saying wigan have a team full of average players but Maguire was making us play to are best. i think some of you should look at are ins and outs this season of course we would have money left, joel and hoffman would of been two big earners never mind any one else and this season amos has left. funny how some in the know fans know all the financial doings of wigan, ian lenegan has spoke massively about smart spending and the salary cap also calling for all teams who want to make offer's to players to give the full proposal to the RFL to stop teams cheating or going over the salary cap. if moris lyndsey was still the chairman of wigan i would probably say yeah maybe there is a brown envelop being handed around but not under lenegan no way.

Oh what we wouldn't give to be dangerously close to exceeding the salary cap...
We should probably be thanking Wigan for splashing some cash, not damning them for it.

All we want is for everybody to play by the rules..
Something is not quite "legal" about this deal, otherwise Wigan would have paid out now !

This way we can call him back when we make the Grand Final.

Our unused salary cap space is an asset we can effectively rent out to other clubs, for a fee . This is something we should be looking at doing more of.
