Quote That Mon="That Mon"According to Wilko Wigan EN we are at 2.2 spend on cap. I think our own grown policy while admirable is also not helping, when we come to waiting for players to develop and to what level. After 21 they count on cap even if they are on low contracts three players on 30k is equivalent to a decent established player. When you consider they may spend most of the season out on loan or not playing for us.
Be great if cap alowed further dispensation for your own youth players. I do think we are in need of a few new faces and a top signing or three if we are to see interst and crowds grow.. If you look at Saints and Wire they are managing to do so with less average crowds.'"

That MonFather Ted:

We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.


Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters.  Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played.  That is just too much talent missing from the squad  not to have an adverse effect on performance..


If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming.  Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.


IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.
