I think they are talking about the Widnes game.

If we don't call back Hadley for the Widnes game, you would have to suspect there is more to it then the club are telling us.

radford already alluded to it when he said we won't have to loan out the likes of hadley, naughton and abdul next year when the salary cap increases

Maybe they thought that in the second half of the season some of the teams in the Middle 8s might look to strengthen and take a couple of our fringe players allowing us to take Hadley back? That's not to say we won't be in the Middle 8s clearly, just what the plan might have been.

Wonder why it's a month by month deal then, rather than a year long loan deal with no recall like the other two?

Can't we make someone a marquee signing too free a little space on the cap?

Against Widnes barring anymore injuries
Bowden
Houghton
Ellis
Minichello
Turgut
Washbrook
Subs
Masi
Thompson
Green
Fash
So not to bad to be honest

Not unless we want to increase his salary to £175k

mini is probably our highest earner, top him up now and next season he can have tuppence ha'penny.
Seriously though, this is what happens when you backload contracts to get an over the cap squad under the cap, the following season it bites you.
