Pretty sure you can use the cap space.

Kyle's current contract is certainly not small fry - he's alleged to have wanted Longy's deal to sign the 2 year extension a season ago. He's not a low earner - we'll have the space to bring in a top replacement, the problem is who is available to recruit?

You definitely can. We could deregister him, pay him in full and still have the room on the cap.

As you say its about who is available. There has been talk about Luke Gale at Quins. If we receive compo from Bath it would be enough you'd expect to get a young player like that on board. Or we could wait until an NRL player falls out of favour or disgraces himself. It always happens mid season.

I cant see us getting much compo for him if he goes now....its a buyers market, Bath can just sit tight for 6 months and get him for free, and I am sure that Saints (Royce in particular) will be keen to get any disruptive influences out of the club as soon as possible.

If he were to stay, fantastic. We can kick on from there. If on Monday he announces he is leaving now, again that is fine as we can then spend a whole season mercilessly tapping up some gun replacement, or sign Luke Gale.

What I was wondering is if he announces he is going at the end of the season because Bath aren't willing to compensate Saints, what would people think of moving him back to centre? I hate the idea of basing your side around a player who is leaving, but playing centre requires far less focus and we could utilise his pace much more easily from there?

Put him in the reserves. He's had one chance too many of blackmail and is a total disruption to the team. Before you ask I feel the same about Jammer in some ways, but he is not blackmailing us and is not direspecting the fans.

How come on exactly the same salary cap warrington don't have the same blackmail /players wanting to leave problems?

Can barely rite this as mine nuckles are draggin on the flor. Now if i cud find me pass port thingy.

Giving him a taster possibly?

I hope you don't get Gale, he's a genuine talent. It'd be bad for Super League if Quins continued to let their best players leave.

I agree. We need to stick with our own young players.

Good to see some common sense! what good is it for the game if the first option is to go and raid the one club that needs good players to survive, it was bad enough losing LMS!

Send Kyle out on loan for a month to Liverpool St Helens and he'll soon sign a contract at Saints
