Agreed - I was pleasantly surprised there was a majority this time, been trying to find the details of which way the individual clubs voted, but not seen it anywhere.


I know Hudds were against it. You can bet Wakey and Cas were so who else? It was 8-4 in favour.

I can't regard this as anything but good news. If nothing else, it gives us a better chance to retain or recapture our biggest stars.

I've had a right good laugh on Twitter today. It's as if everyone thinks all the clubs are just going to abandon academies and youth etc, for the sake of chasing one player, who is partly exempt from the cap.

For us though, I read on the local paper that Sam is our 'marquee' player for next year? So I'm assuming we've no movement for a 'big name', rather just cap space for British recruitment.

..or to make sure we're properly recognising existing talent. I suspect some of those who might have been considered spares at the start of the season have a good shout for a pay rise (before their parasite agents turn their heads).

Well that obviously wont happen to Us, Wire, Saints, Leeds etc but it will most definitely happen to Salford. They are more than happy to completely abandon their academy system to bring big money players in. All you have to is look how reluctant they were to play their youth players a few weeks ago.

They can only bring in one marquee player not a team of them

I am not entirely surprised. Signings like Goulding (which obviously hasn't worked out sadly) show some ambition and not a club content to be also rans.

Watching all the fans of the bottom feeder clubs announcing this as the death of RL is making me smile.

Really hope this is the seismic shift that many on here have been waiting 10+ years for. At last the backwards, cap in hand have nots have been put in their place.

Now let's watch the big boys crack on at trying to get the sport back to where it should be.

Mrs Thatcher is smiling in her grave right now at your views and how you express them. Are you a Blue Meanie from Pepperland?

The problem with your view is that putting the 'have-nots' in their place, as you so charmingly put it, leads to a competition just like the Scottish Premier League. Let the market take over and it inevitably leads to monopoly. (Anyone fancy a bet on who will win the SPL next year? Is there any point in watching?)

That's fine if Wigan are in the Celtic role, but what if we end up like Rangers with Saints in the Celtic role?

The good thing about the salary cap is that the league is genuinely competitive. Hull KR have beaten both Saints and Wigan this season. Are you really interested in watching Rugby League dominated by just a few teams or are you interested in watching games that are competitive (which most - though not all - are)?

Even under the present system there are really only 4 potential winners (even if you count Wire!!!) - so it's not as though we are being hampered that much by the 'cap in hand' brigade. But at least we have an interesting competition, with the top 3 losing 14 games - about 30%- between them already, often to the 'bottom feeder clubs'

I loved watching us in the 80/90s, especially as I remember us in the second division, but in truth only Widnes really managed a sustained challenge. I reckon the game is far more enjoyable now, though I guess others will disagree.

Peace and Love! :LOVE:
