These transfer fees are nuts but I can understand Wigan’s perspective.
Anything official on whether transfer fees are included in the cap?greeneyed wrote:The biggest problem seems to be the reputed $500,000 transfer fee.
From the segyaro reports, they are. Perhaps it’s spread over the span of he contract though?gergreg wrote:Anything official on whether transfer fees are included in the cap?greeneyed wrote:The biggest problem seems to be the reputed $500,000 transfer fee.

If it's nefarious id suspect it's operational first and foremost and sentimentality there after.gergreg wrote: ↑March 9, 2019, 6:47 pm Agreed. It's no different to sides that have been busted saying they'll all take a pay cut to stay together. It's not really a pay cut if you've received more than you otherwise would by cheating.
Maybe the NRL isn't going too hard after the Sharks because they've finally realised that most clubs are cheating in one way or another.

Like hypothetically a club, say ours, could pay a bunch of players under the table in 2019, hundreds and thousands under the table and undeclared, then again we'll give them some money in 2020 with the arrangement that in 2021, they'll get less which will allow us the "cap space" to sign George Williams
If he's a superstar and we win the comp in 2021, whether we're under the cap in 2021 doesnt really **** matter, does it? The only reason we have the sqaud to do it was because we cheated in years prior.
We've cheated to get there. Our accomplishments are stained and gained unfairly. We should be stripped
The Storm absolutely should NOT have their title returned, but this Sharks thing stinks to high heaven.
There's not a harder set of fans to please - anywhere in sport - than Wigan.
Widdop
So basically the most recent one. Can't think of too many English halves that have joined the NRL.
Does Widdop count? He moved to Australia when he was 16 and hadn't played professionally when he was in England.Northern Raider wrote: ↑March 10, 2019, 10:16 amSo basically the most recent one. Can't think of too many English halves that have joined the NRL.

Anyway, I can only think of Dave Boulton, who helped Balmain win the '69 GF, and Tommy Bishop who captain-coached Cronulla in the early '70s. I never saw either of them play live because I was too young, but I've seen enough highlights footage to suggest that Bishop was a quality halfback.
I did see Ellery Hanley play in the halves though, but he was at 5/8th.
