Wakefield and Wire have cap space.

Wakefield, Leigh, Wire and Huuds have a quotation spot available

Not the space to offer the contracts the players will want , very minimal cap left in most clubs

Think Rovers wanted Macdonald and will have pushed for dispensations and obviously briefed the media, but agree it looks really worrying for Salford, I expected them to put up a fight for players even if the RFL suggested they offer them around.

I get you think hull kr are the only ones who have put bids in, but Wigan saints and co will have all had a hand in pockets

Saints needed a nene McDonald etc

All articles said ‘and various other clubs’


But either way doesnt matter the rfl will let their players walk on a free next week as they ain’t making up 700k

We may have voted yes otherwise I'd be surprised if we could fit cross and sneyd under the cap, however at least 7 clubs voted no which is all that matters

I can't imagine Cross will cost much and wouldn't Sneyd be our fed trained marquee?

“at this stage no changes have been made to salary cap regulations, but further proposals may be considered."

if i was to have a bet, i dont think for one second this will pull salford out the 700k hole if they dont give dispensations to the clubs the players will just walk to save themselves

i think the RFL will override the 'vote' and put the dispensations in to save a club with it being 3 weeks till the seasons starts

if youre referring to nene we have 3 great centres all capable....he would be brilliant but not needed whatsoever

i think the genuine conversation that needs to be addressed now is we are about to have an 11 team league, which will put a lot of strain on clubs

Override the vote allow the dispensations and save Salford (for now) and ruin the integrity of the competition. Rock and hard place.

If's that's the case why do Rovers want to sign him. Purely to help save Salford of course.
