McIlorum, FPN and Joel must’ve been on a hefty chunk between them. I’m not sure how the cap works exactly but we must be spending far less on salaries with Greenwood on board then we were before a ball was kicked this season.

Lenners is doing a cracking job of getting rid of Wanes overpaid and overrated boys club, keep it up Lenners..

And FPN, he left after the season started and wasnt replaced. We should have plenty of leeway under the cap

Some of the vacant cap will go to improved contacts for existing players. I can think of Marshall, Isa, Davies and Gildart who've have improved contacts so far this season.

When does greenwood actually arrive?

Wonder if Greenwoods Girlfriend is actually an aussie and hence the visa issues he is having to sort out before he can travel over. Didn't think a visa was needed to travel over billing lump or even for travelling down from Oldham.

Radlinski said it would be a few weeks.

Wonder if he is doing a mini pre season In Aus so when he arrives he is fit and ready to go. No point him coming over straight away if he is not fit

Why would he do that? Why would he stay in Aus and train on his own? Surly it would be better to get over here, get set up, clear any jet lag and train with the boys.

All that's even before you start to even consider that his visas prob been cancelled as he's not got employment.

He put a picture on Instagram saying him and his partner were having a last catch up with some friends before heading back to the UK ‘next week’ (it was posted a couple of days ago) so it doesn’t sound like it’ll be long before he’s here.

Looking at our back row options for Friday at Cas, getting him here this week would be very handy!

Plus didn't we pay FPN off? That counts against the Salary Cap too.

I get the feeling there's not much Salary Cap space to work with.

Even less money, considering we're paying three players over the odds (O'Loughlin, S. Tomkins and Williams).
