If you consult fans of other clubs you’ll find that the salary cap doesn’t in fact apply to Warrington anyway. Apparently we are over it every season. That’s good to know isn’t it? Gives us a bit more freedom to recruit.

Lol...love it. There are always loopholes in RL.

That's the reason I asked as I understand Charnley doesn't count towards our wage bill. Just wanted to see what the experts thought.

So if Roberts as rumoured is back off to the NRL, where does it leave our Half back situation? Brown and ratchford with Mitch Brown to FB?

Add this also "
Many apologies to Wire fans from us regards to the cancellation for the second day running of the live Q&A with Tyrone Roberts.
You will no doubt understand Tyrone's availability is not in our hands. Warrington Wolves, after setting the times, have now informed us the scrum half is no longer available due to today's schedule."

I have on good authority he asked about a release 2 weeks ago.
