These problems have a way of solving themselves, unfortunately. By the time Colbon is back there's every chance someone else will be out. Or at very least in need of a rest.

You have come to the correct conclusion. Well done.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Good call! The most embarassing thing is that he is so terrible at his chosen profession, but still gets paid a huge wedge. 1 of the worst players ever to grace the Premier League I suspect.

Can't see you having enough space on the cap for Finch and Lima... maybe not even one of them (depending on whether or not your cost cutting exercise is true)

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

Well you give us a breakdown on what we are paying everyone and then we will know for sure

Possibly, but there is Cooke's wages too. Walker will have commanded a big wage when he joined. At the moment we only have one quota spot, in any case. We need, IMO, 1 back (Colbon ideally, but there are others fed-trained and ooc if he goes elsewhere), 1 halfback (going to need the quota spot, I think) and 1 forward (numerous options, including Walker).
I think the board are intending to spend close to the cap again (looking in from the outside) - but it is also possible there will be some departures we haven't anticipated.

I said "I can't see you having" rather than "You won't have". If you can afford two top-class overseas players after releasing only 4 fringe first teamers I'd be very suprised especially with the strength of the pound against the Aussie dollar.

As said above, Cooke would of been on a fair bit. So would Walker (vastly reduced terms surely for next season) Neither are/were "fringe" players.
