Great post. The cap, although evened up the Super League has in affect 'dumbed it down'. The whole idea was to stop clubs getting into financial difficulties by preventing them from spending too much on players. This hasn't worked though has it, look at Wakefield etc.

Yes, you [i[ueventually [/u[/isaid you didn't know the numbers involved.



Yes, I know the difference between a view and a fact. (Though I'm now worried we could get into a philosophical debate about whether there is such a thing as a objective "fact"; or indeed a scientific debate about whether due to quantum theory anything is knowable precisely. Given your track record of vitriolic objections to harmless and reasonable inferences I would be very reluctant to get involved in a discussion on those topics...!)



You don't appear to understand that what you mean when you write something may not be what other people quite reasonably think you mean. Language is not precise like mathematics, it is by definition open to interpretation.



I've given you an example of how your phrase "these things have always happened" would be totally inappropriate if you changed the numbers, but stick with your "minority of one" argument if it makes you feel better..

Given the number of times you've asked me for my "view" of the numbers involved it looks like my repeated clarification of what is a view and what is a fact has thankfully, finally hit home.



I also said some time ago I didn't know the facts on the numbers involved and have had to repeat it on a number of occasions - again it looks like my repeated clarification has thankfully, finally hit home.



Of course, I've never made any statement claiming to know them in the first place - you incorrectly claimed I did and haven't been able to get over the fact when pointed out.



Unfortunately it looks like you can't quite make the final leap of faith and want to continue your bizarre interpretation of what I said. I suppose 2 out of 3 is more than we could have hoped for in the circumstances.

ladies, please...

Tedious in the extreme.



I've had to explain to you how language works, I've given you an example that shows how reasonable my interpretation was (to which I note you haven't responded, because you can't without looking foolish) and even explained how I actually had no motive to make the fabrication you seem to think I made and are so het up about - which means that even if you were right, which of course you aren't, my innocent comment would not have deserved the ludicrous attacks directed at me by you on this thread (to which I have not responded in the same way).



You've added new issues like the difference between a view and fact, the relevance of which is unclear, in what appears to be an attempt to prolong an argument you have lost, having raised a point that you shouldn't have, in terms that you shouldn't have.



I won't be commenting any further on your ridiculous allegations on this thread because others are getting very bored by this (as am I).

At least that's something we can agree on. Perhaps you shouldn't have made things up in the first place eh.
