Wasn't there something on those lines when Wakey signed Simon Grix from Warrington for the rest of the season to help Wire out with their cap problems?

Yes I remember that. IIRC he didn't even get a game for Wakey. I might have been a favour for a friend. Richard Agar ?

Not 100% sure but wasn't Ben Currie de-registered at Warrington who didn't immediately sign a second row or centre to replace him ? Wire got Josh Charnley from Sale RU a couple of months later.

Are you just making it up now as you go along?

Agar, Smith, who knows, one thing was for sure he was injured and out for the season when he came that's why he never played for us, a strange signing which on the face of it never benefited Wakey.

Dom Manfredi. De-registered by Wigan in 2017 and rightly so IMO.

We're not making many friends at the moment are we?? If those are the RFL rules and we are just playing by them then fair enough but, even as a Cas fan, I don't agree with it. I don't care what anyone says about 'we are close to the cap', we always leave a little room in case we need anything mid season. Swapping Wardle for Rankin (if it turns out to be true, but the rumour is gathering pace) and replacing Wardle with Clarkson balances our squad more anyway. We have 4 other half backs that we can call upon, plus the likes of McShane, Millington that can play in the halves in an emergency. We shouldn't need cap dispensation. Let's say one of the other half options performs really well and makes the place his own, then we go out and sign someone of quality in a different position. What happens then? There will be uproar with people saying we have cheated the system and used the cap dispensation for another position. I'm not comfortable with it at all. The best thing we can do is to thank the RFL for allowing it, but state that we won't be using it. As always, only my opinion!

Spirit of the cap?

Up to now I have 6 instances where players have been de-registered since the rule was introduced in 2016.

Ben Harrison - Warrington (injury)
Ben Currie - Warrington (injury)
Don Manfredi - Wigan (injury)
Luke Gale - Tigers (injury)
Michael Dobson - Hull KR (quota spot)
James Segayaro - Leeds (disciplinary)

Dobson was back in 2011 (so doesn’t fit your 2016 ruling) and not for SC reasons. No evidence of Manfredi being deregusteted and he actually played in the reserves in 2017 so unlikely your correct. Currie wasn’t that’s just you guessing. Segeyaro as explained previously is again made up nonsense.
