On limited viewing, good move for all round, he's looked lively in the games I've seen and he does seem a better fit there than here.

wont lie, i'm not disappointed, i didn't like the signing in the first place.

must be some concern at Ipape not coming back at any time soon.

From a cap perspective am i right in thinking we've lost Kasiano, Dwyer and Dudson from the cap we started with this year?

they're gone, not to say there's not been some pay offs involved, so i doubt all their salarys are available.

What an odd episode. I didn't think we should have re-signed him, but cannot imagine it has done the guy's self esteem much good. Unless he has done something odd in the background I'm not aware of.

Strange signing in the 1st place.
OK Powell wasn't up for grabs when Dwyer was and we did need another 9, but wasn't over impressed because Walker and Dwyer were too similar in style and I'd take the former over the latter.
Powell offers something different.
Dwyer could have still done a good job for us - and will do for Leigh I'm sure - but this is good gor all concerned I feel.

Warrington have been pushing for a permanent move since he first went on loan, but Leigh declined. They asked if he could play in the CC this weekend but we said 'NO' so he wasn't cup tied, knowing it would force there hand.

Dudson going on loan means he is 100% off cap regardless of what Salford are paying him. Kasiano was a medical retirement right? So he would be 100% off cap too. Given Leigh have signed him on a permanent basis I’d be surprised if a payout was involved - maybe Abe can confirm?

We’ve had Max Wood come in of course and the new prop from Bradford (though he may well be outside the top 25 paid players - so excluded from the cap.
