Didn't we already know that weeks ago?
He was complaining that he couldn't get him under the cap, presumably because Harrison would have wanted a contract that meant he wasn't losing out financially by missing his testimonial.

Yes, we have known about this saga for some time. But according to League Express, Leigh wish to take him and we are happy to release him. The sticking point according to Leigh is that they will give him a lower salary than he is currently earning at Wire but the RFL rules state that the Leigh salary cap must use his existing salary at Wire, which would push Leigh over the limit. Leigh said that they are in discussions with the RFL since the rules do not make sense.
Personally, if this is correct I can not understand the logic in the rules either, however we are probably missing some nuance as it does seems to be nonsensical.

Could it be that the cap operates on a financial year basis rather than a seasonal basis?

The Cap is doing my head in. Leigh could afford to pay Ben what he earns with us and they should be allowed to.
It's a quarter of a century out of date this Cap.

Remember the salary cap is to allow all clubs to compete at a lower level and prevent clubs going into administration ...

So you are actually paying Ben 100k a year? |

I can't believe he's on anything like that. |

If it is a loan then the full wages count on Leigh's Cap even if they are only paying part of them, this could be the sticking point.
He went well for us in the couple of games he played towards the end of last season and I would be more than happy to have him back but I dont think he liked the commute and would probably prefer to play for a team closer to home.

The sticking point in a move to Leigh, is Ben's valuation - for Salary Cap purposes - of > £100,000. Whilst Leigh's (apparently) acceptable offer is believed to be much less than that, the ridiculous cap valuation is prohibiting a move to Leigh, or anywhere else, I should imagine. I'm not sure where that valuation comes from, because I can't see Warrington paying him that - good player that he is. |
