World's gone fuggin' mental.

We've got a barmpot as leader of the free world

Some woman called Scarlett is classed as a celebrity

People are getting upset that a fat MP that can't dance, and a white woman pretending to be black have got too far in talent shows

A 72 year old rock star has fathered a child, whilst having two great grandchildren

and a seemingly sane businessman has authorised the transfer of an aging halfback RL player, who's best days are behind him, for a substantial amount of money, when transfer fees are rarely paid.

MADNESS

There's a couple of things in this.

Firstly, the salary cap value of a player is totally unrelated to the amount they actually get paid. It's a completely notional value, which uses a players contract to calculate the "worth" of a player. There's a couple of reasons to do this, both legally and logistically. The easiest example to see the difference between paying a player and cap value is in bonuses i.e. appearance bonuses. The cap assumes that a player whose base salary is over £20,000 will play 20 times in a year, and their total cap value will include 20x the appearance bonus whatever it may be (of the base salary is under 20k, it assumes they will play 5 times.) It doesn't matter if the player is injured in round 1 or plays every game that season, that's the cap value.

So, if we assume that the contract between Sandow and Warrington hasn't been terminated, then Sandow is still on Warringtons cap. However, there are clauses in the Salary Cap that allow clubs to appeal for a short term cap increase in cases of injury crisis, player misbehaviour, or anything else. The current situation should be cut and dry for Warrington to use this clause to effectively negate Sandows cap value.

Thanks for that. To quote the saying, it's as clear as mud.

My grandad was a lifelong socialist but in his twilight years he had the Daily Express delivered on the basis that it made him so angry it kept him alive . Not sure why I thought of that when I read your post?

The person you describe as a "barmpot" is a self made billionaire. How much are you worth?

True worth can't be measured by the size of a person's bank account surely? If you don't agree with me PM me your salary and we will see whether I will have to concede whether you are right and I'm wrong (only joking about the last part by the way the concept of wealth = worth is outdated)

Back on topic I like the Brown signing, maybe over priced maybe not we shall see, but, there's no point having cash in the attic or a sugar daddy and doing nothing
