    Humans are more concerned with having than being.

    Is isn't it? Not his biggest fan but terrible luck for him. Don't like seeing players hurt, had a problem with an achilles myself & it's a really difficult injury to overcome, good luck to the lad

    Gale and cas have had some terrible luck these past few years.

    Wish him all the best with his recovery.

    Reading on the cas forum this morning, they are saying Roberts and Ellis won't start the season either? Could be a tough start for them

    Hard luck that. Always have to wonder if he will get back to his old self having played so little rugby for such a long time.

    If you were Powell and you knew you would be without three experienced half backs for the start of the season you would be scouring SL and the Championship for an experienced replacement - at least in the short term.

    I was thinking along the same lines.
    There must be a few promising young half backs in Superleague who'd benefit from a bit of experience given there's very few open-age options anymore.

    Jordan Rankin & Joe Wardle: Castleford Tigers & Huddersfield Giants agree swap deal - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/46846626

    Salary cap relief granted to Cas following Gale's season ending injury. Hidden at the end of the above article. Does anyone know the rules on this? Has it always been there but rarely invoked or is it at the RFL 's discretion? Interesting.

    I've never heard of it before and am gobsmacked it a) exists, and b) why other teams with injuries have never taken advantage of it before.

    All clubs have injuries to key players, it's part and parcel of the game. So why have Cas been given special treatment?

    I don't think it did exist before.

    Maybe because he hasn't played this season they can de-register him as if he had left the club, then but someone else.

    I've a vague recollection Wgan doing something similar a few years back but I can't remember the circumstances.

    My thoughts exactly Webbo. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders why the news was hidden in the body of another article. I'm genuinely interested in the rules on this. If the season hasn't started does the club get 100% relief; does it diminish on a sliding scale depending on the number of games played before injury; is there a point of no return where no compensation can be granted? Is it new this season and if not why did we not use it for big Al?

    I think it's because he's not played a game this season and he's not going to either. Walmsley played 5 games for us. The story has been put into another article because it doesn't warrant it's own. Either that or John wells is a member of the RFL Illuminati

    You can find the full rules here

    As you could expect these are complex and convoluted, but only a certain number of players are calculated against the salary cap. You can ask for permission to go over the salary cap if a player is injured and you need to bring in another player who will then cause you to breach the salary cap.
    I would interpret that as bringing forward an internal player, however that isn't stated and could mean that a club would sign another player.

    There appears to be a distinct difference in that the injured players wages are still on the salary cap, but the RFL agreement is that the club can now go over the salary cap by £xx, where £xx is the amount requested by the club to go over the salary cap.

    I cannot find anything in the link that says you can remove a player who was signed on at the club at the time of presenting your salary cap position to the RFL for the coming season, without going through the process of getting the full allowance of the injured players salary as the £xx amount you can break the salary cap by

    I am sure this isn't the first time it has happened though. I am sure i recall a team getting an exemption though can't remember who it was.

    Forty20 podcast said that there were rumours that Richardson is off to Widnes on loan. Can’t see it myself.

    If he did go out on loan then surely it would be Leigh.
