frommost of the posts on here it seems,most agree,we need a couple of new players,maybe wingers or a centre,but have no funds to get them,should we do what Widnes have done and tell a couple of surplus players,to find other clubs,which would free up our players fund?

I know this is controversial,but would it help?We do seem to have players who are not currently in Basils plans,and would maybe leave at the end of the season anyway, so why not make use of them now as the Mutants have done with Webster and Ford,its a tough decision,but sentiment goes out of the window,if you want to win,what do you think?

I don't think that we could afford to pay them off. I presume they would have to be compensated?

small squad high earning players are in it no choices, and yes they would have to be paid off and i think it counts on salary cap which we have nothing left

Im sure about what the procedure would be ,thats why im asking?But surely the Mutants,will now have cash free to get replacements for Ford and Webster,on their Salary cap?

depends on how they pay Webster vup and if they do also thier salary cap is a lot higher (in actual cash) than ours and they dont seem to have any really high earners

Fred ive been told of rumblings of unrest ,at the Mutants, with a few players not happy,about Cullens words after our game with them, and there could be more departures,iminant,imjust not sure how the Salary cap works,and players being told they are free to talk with other clubs?

I think in Webster's case he asked for the release to join Hull FC as assistant therefore Widnes should not have to pay him off. Id be wary of Ford, apparently last offseason he was due to sign at Fax and then changed his mind after reading some comments on the Fax forum. A bit sensitive I think. Whatever the cause, he has now been dumped by two teams in six months.

How about Mick Govin, a quality player when fit. Would offer an option to rest Wobbie when needed and cost very little.

Well would Webster and Ford have been compensated?

Play with what we have - a small, tight committed squad who are playing for each other and want to win. Speaking to a player last weekend, he said everyone is getting on well within the squad and morale is very high within the camp and everyone is enjoying playing with each other.

Obviously we have help from the dual lads but even when they aren't available we have we have just about enough cover, there is no need to be getting rid of players and getting new ones in, we probably can't afford to and it could disrupt the team.

There was a picture of him in yesterday's MEN playing for Swinton on Wednesday, so I imagine he's filled his annual appearance quota now.

As i said my idea,is a tough choice,seems tome a lot of posts on the Forum are talking of raising extra cash for new players,nowt wrong with that,ive just asked how we would stand introducing the idea of releasing players,if they were in agreement.

I don't know about the Widnes situation, i meant that we would not be able to afford compensation if we were to release players.
