It was an administration error made when paying out winning bonuses (£8,000 I believe). We didn't deliberately cheat like Wigan for example who were £250k over the salary cap the year they went over.

It certainly seems an innocuous error but considering Warrington's nose is cleaner than clean, it's £8000 more than WArrington have ever gone over the cap.

I think we could do without the smug self-righteous sanctimony if you don't mind matey - the glasshouse rule applies. Warrington are obviously bending the rules and exploiting the loopholes on salary cap every bit as much now as any other team ever has in the history of SL, even Wigan. If the rules allow it to go on then more power to your elbow and by all means exploit it to the full extent you can - I hope the new stadium allows us to go doling out dozens of suspiciously highly paid clerical jobs to players' friends and family soon too. Just don't come on here with the phoney halo **** and we'll all be happy.

I like the way Warrington play and rate Tony Smith, but TBH at their best I prefer Wigan's more structured approach (if anything I think their pack is a classic case where the sum of parts is better than the individuals). The key to beating any team of course is to put them under pressure - stopping them scoring or at least building an early lead is vital. Whether anyone can do that with Warrington remains to be seen though.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and you have... all





You ever think that people want to come to Warrington to win things? I know you probably share the same mentality of other 'below average' clubs, like London (in that you have to pay over the odds for very poor players to compensate for a drought of trophies) but don't assume Warrington do.



You'd be a fool to believe that a professional sportsman doesn't want to win something and you have way more chance of doing that at Warrington.



It's really quite simple.

It would have been a risk, but I wish we had thrown the chequebook at Chris Hill last season. One of the best props in SL and was the best prop on the field on Monday and Saturday. We're crying out for a pack leader and he would have been a perfect replacement for Jammer.

Chris Hill or Andy Lynch would have been good replcements for Jammer.



We've obviously still got a bit of desire when it comes to transfers, given we seem to have really gone for Manu, but one swallow doesn't make a summer and all that.

Yes warrington's playoff success is amazing isn't it?



I have no evidence or proof but have heard from a very reliable source how Warrington stay under the cap.

Do you mind sharing what that way might be (As there are plenty)?

You know, I bet if you squinted really, really hard and looked through a really expensive, really powerful telescope, I bet you could maybe see the Earth from that little fantasy planet you're living on there..



"players join Warrington just to win trophies and turn down bigger money offers to go elsewhere"....

















Oh **** me.... My poor aching sides.... Gentlemen, we have a new all time low of comedy self-delusion...

Warrington players are paid in hugs, sugarcandy and fluffy kittens instead of money - that's how they cram so many more apparently expensive players into their squad than anyone else can somehow manage to.



At least Wigan were open and transparent in getting the laws of the game formally bent to allow them to keep Tomkins...

Whatever the reason Chris Hill chose to come to Warrington, was he on anyone else's radar, we have a good relationship with Leigh, we were prepared to pay top dollar, Chris wanted to play for us and TS (or vice versa if you like)? He has been outstanding from Day 1 and would have been a great signing for any top SL side.



The Leigh speccies were right and it is a 'risk' that has never materialised.
