Admittedly his chances have been very limited, but I've seen little from Dean that would make me want to have him as a first choice Super League half back.

Also, looking at how the season ended, I'd suggest Powell sees Leon Hayes as the better long term prospect. Wouldn't be surprised to see Dean released if any offers were made for him - His 'progress' has all the signs of someone destined to rock up at Widnes quite soon.

DP wants to sign a centre and a half back, but with only £80k left in the cap we need to offload as you suggest. Two of our forwards have been offered out to other clubs. If one of them leaves we'll all be partying

Do you have the full list of the wages of everyone in our top
30?

Blimey Dallas you're not asking much?
I'm not surprised that we are offloading a forward.

Surprised that Powell is prepared to release Holmes, he must feel his own job is on the line.

How do you know we only have 80k left, are you privvy to all of the players wages?

Indeed. Wonder who the other is? Longstaff maybe?

You don’t know?

Only the top 25 count on the cap, can’t see him being top 25. I’ve always assumed we might try to loan out Philbin for a year not sure who else. Holmes leaving would be a hell of a turnaround for Powell

I’m suggesting he has NO details on ANY of our player’s wages. Therefore £80,000 is an uneducated guess. Therefore it’s nonsense.

Sorry. I'm with you now.

I don't know if Paul2812 does know any individual salary details, but from previous posts, he does appear to have an insight. It is therefore entirely possible that he will know that there is £80k left on the cap.
