Looking at the results so far this season you have to say the sallery cap finally working and not working for some.
Wigan,Wire and Bradford have spent to there limit and signed rubbish on long contract where like of Hull Kr,Giants,Wake and Cas have spent wise and are begening to get the rewards for it.
At the top of league i believe both Saints and Leeds are now looking very beat able teams even though they will proberly still be in the grand final but how many years will it continue till another team wins the final.
All in all i think that our League is the most healthy postion it been in since the 1980s and for change the smaller clubs actualy think they have a chance of wining a trophy.

Still early in the season yet.....Wire have always been naff,Wigan are in Barrett fall,Bulls,good pack crap backs......if a team is to challenge the so called big 4...how they work that out is beyond me...will be us or Hudds.
“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

Both Hull and Giants are major players this season and for myself the best signing of the season is C Thorman missing link which Hull have been missing.

Err, no we haven't. We have plenty of cap space available as described by our chairman - and the signing of Greg Bird at the time.

Winning the league is like winning an FA Cup Quarter Final and then asking for the trophy.
I think its great that teams like Hull KR and Wakey are doing well after 3 games but this not a sprint, its a marathon.
Leeds and Saints are still miles ahead when it comes to lasting the pace and I would not be surprised to see Hull KR and Wakey both fall off the pace in a couple of months.

I would however like to be wrong.
More like the Grandnational and with quite a few hurdles to go there could be a few unseated riders
