He would be the one to make way for somebody else, as Davis should be infront of him in the pecking order.

Didnt we pay Clark up front for this season in order to get round the cap?

I don't think that is possible as the salary cap rules state they are applied in 'real time'. I taking this means that you can't 'pay ahead' if you find yourself under the cap one year and also that if you bring a player in part way through the season then what you actually pay him is pro rata'd for the full season.

I may be wrong.

I mentioned before that we allegedly loaded Clark the season ahead of Sandow...
I added to this by highlighting a potential flaw which could allow you to have 4 marquee signings for only 2 spots by alternately loading 2 up and the season after loading up the other 2.

You mentioned it, and you were told that you were wrong, you cant do that

And I remember it was you who told me you couldn't. I except that as I don't know better...however, the loading up of Clark pre Sandow was alleged done and perhaps done before any loophole was erased.

Matty Smith to Warrington? Just negotiated a release from Catalans with a rumoured opportunity at another Super League club on offer. The usual suspects have all signed scrum halves. Back to the Wire?

Maybe he'll move to prop. He's certainly slow enough, lacking in imagination and without ball skills these days so he's ticked most of the boxes.

I'd imagine he'd be perfect as a reserve team player who can cover the first team. I'd imagine that'll be his role if he's staying in SL as rumoured. I can't see a starting role for him anywhere.
