I wonder if we, or any other clubs, are keeping a bit of spare cap space in case of somebody in the WC putting themselves suddenly in the shop window?



Not sure how good an idea that would be, but our leader did make a copmment I read somewhere in an article about the World Cup to the effect that there'd be great players on view and many of them would probably end up in Super League.



Quite possibly I'm putting 2 and 2 together and getting 7 though.

Not at you El Diablo, honestly. Just the comment tickled me. We have been working with spare cap space for the last four years. The release of Richard Moore isn't the reason for that.

Maybe Yates will take Moore's "back up role".

Good luck to him



very strong runner but has a few too many deficiencies in other areas



Didn't get much of a chance at Leeds but I'm not sure we missed out on anything

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that Moore's release would have anything to do with it. It was just that I was on this thread when it popped into my head.



It did occur to me that teams with the full salary cap committed wouldn't be able to do any impulse shopping at the end of November.



Which is not to say that this is in any way what Leeds plan to do, or that there will be anything worth buying that isn't already under contract.

Agreed.



He really was a bit of a none factor at the club for the past couple of years.used as a token gesture by the coach in low key games and for limited time.



Hope he manages to secure a deal at a SL club, i predict Bulls,Wakey or Cas will offer him a deal.

He'll be OK at a club that won't be challenging for honours over next few seasons...



Take your pick from any club, excluding Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Warrington

Release Yates....sign him back on 10 years later.

Maybe it has?

For example:

Leeds pay us for Paul Aiton (Gives us a cash boost, you get your player)

however, in return,

Wakefield request Leeds release Richie Moore, in order for us to sign him without paying his last year up?



Or something along those lines... Maybe?

But what if he decides to go to Cas instead?

I think I am in the minority but I felt he did a relatively good job for us as a back up squad member.

I don`t think he was given the minutes he should have got and like others have said gave us an offloading game that we rarely used.

Yes there were times when he over did it and they will be the ones we remember.

I thought maybe him and McShane would have been used as part of the Aiton deal FWIW.

I wish the lad luck. Not given any meaningul opportunities, even when in the 17. Unlike some ahead of him at least he brought effort to the table, whatever hi deficiencies.



Still, his role (depth) should really be an up and coming player rather than a 31 year old.

That would seem a bit complicated, as opposed to us just waiving the paying up of the last year of his contract?
