The truth behind the Wigan salary cap (I think)

Like the Beast of Bodmin or a UFO landing, Wigan's salary cap is considered by many in RL land as just another urban myth.






After declaring last season that that Kris Radlinski was "playing for free" because the club "had no money", they then went and snapped up Great Britain forward Stuart Fielden. To say that a few eyebrows were raised is something of an understatement.

So when it gets announced on Tuesday that Aussie RU and former Brisbane winger Lote Tuquiri had recieved an offer from the JJB, questions were once again being asked.

But don't fret people, Maurice Lindsay has set the record straight by declaring that Brian Carney will not be returning to the club, even if Chris Aston leaves for Rugby Union.

So that's settled then, now we have to start taking new bets on which high-profile new signing will bail the club out of relegation trouble again.
