Yes it looks suspicious at times but I think Sinfield came out and some of their players are prepared to take less money to play for a club that wins things.

I [isuspect[/i that we're just not very good at negotiating contracts or exploiting the few remaining 'loopholes' in the cap. Plus Leeds may be able to get away with paying less because they have a better coach and a history of winning silverware.

Or our marquee signings are on mega bucks to attract them; more than they would have been offered at sucessful clubs. Surely most teams would have been interested in Fitz/Long/O'Meley; yet they ended up in Hull; money talks my friends and we've blown the lot on our talented aging trio imho.

O'Meleys only 28.

Moa has done nothing wrong whatsoever.

Yeah; sorry!

I dont think thats the case how many signings have Hull missed out due to not offereing as much as other clubs and everyone on here complaining. see dobson, puletua, lauatiti ect ect



there must be some loop holes where missing out on when you look at waringtons squad

Typo corrected for you.

No offence but I would rather wait and see something official, rather than take the word of a couple of posters on here, who come be anyone.

That being the case and the long term injury to Donald he will almost certainly be going back to Leeds. Would love to have him here though.'" Leeds must have be at full cap last year with the squad they had, for this season they lost Lee Smith and signed 2 very good NRL players in Deleney and Eastwood. They also brough in Pitts, Amor and Coady. Looks like they have found a way. www.therhinos.co.uk/news/10572.php

whilst not wanting to derail the thread.



Am I right in thinking you can de register a player and just have him as paid staff? Which is not on the cap?



With regard to smith as a guess I'd say we spend within our income forcast to make a profit.



Again there's a massive Imbalance in the squad with our backs looking bare thin.

If he signs for Leeds will he be available for the cc? What date was the deadline this year?
