Who was our marquee player, please not Pritchard, thought he had salary part paid by his former club?

Pritchards full salary will have been on our cap up to the marquee limit. Where the cash comes from to pay it is irrelevant this was simply a cash flow solution rather than a cap issue.

Wetherby area I think

Think it's the right decision to increase the cap, although I would only allow teams with a reserve team to have the extra cap.

The other two rules I don't like, the 2 marquee players seems pointless as no really uses it now and it seems to me it's for Wigan to keep Williams.

I don't like the rule to attack Uonion players as it could really be abused by clubs with cash, in theory they could sign 3 top Union players and spend 1 million over the cap.

Already started. Wire sign Taylor Prell from Union after scoring 4 tries against FC reserves.
