Both Adam and Motu lied through their teeth last year with respect to Westerman and having cap space when he (AP) knew we had to release Westerman or be penalised for not being under he cap and MT when he said we had cap space after releasing Westerman which was also untrue. Pearson himself at the club meeting said we were at full cap which we already knew because the club itself said we couldn't sign Lee Smith, whom we would have got for pennies, due to the salary cap restrictions. That Pearson admitted latterly we were at full cap proved MT utterings to be false. HTH
... not really, I was referring to your latest accusation.

In my humble opinion, no clubs will be at "full cap", as you keep on telling us, they'll have their own spending limits to allow for injuries, unforeseen circumstances, etc. Even as little as 5% below the RFL cap would leave £90k to play with, so maybe AP wasn't lying, just wanting to retain the "contingency fund" until later in the season if possible.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
It still stands that AP said we would not be letting Westerman go knowing full well that we had to release him otherwise we would be over the cap. As I said, if that were untrue then why did the club release a statement saying we could not sign Smith due to the cap restrictions. Despite knowing all of this Motu Tony came out and said we had cap space when it was clear to all that we did not. The club statement regarding Smith confirmed this and also confirmed that Pearson had lied about Westerman. It's pretty simple to follow. The stupid thing is that most fans would not have being too bothered because he (westerman) had not had a great season, he did really well in 2014 then 2015 he seemed to struggle for whatever reason, personally think it was how we used him at times as another prop but why not say we've signed Manu, Pritchard, Fonua et al and we have to let Westerman go, It's business but instead it's BS straight up lies to the fans.
Anyway I still think we'll get top 4 if we play to our strengths and with Kelly having a good season we'll be there or thereabouts.
