As you know (or should as I've been banging the drum for five years about it) I believe that any player who comes through a clubs academy system particularly from their own service area should have a percentage of their salary exempt from the "cap" calculation.
It's something I’d like to see in RL as it would improve the junior development at most SL clubs. It should have been brought in with the new licensing agreements as it would have worked well with the whole three year plan model imo.
That being said it still won’t keep all the top young like LMS & Myler at their bottom half of the table clubs. Players like Worrincey & Sheriff maybe would have stayed and it would give clubs like Quins and Salford a lot more leverage to keep hold of their average youngsters but their top young stars will still always move to the top teams for the reasons I posted before.
When you look at the success players like Leuluai & Ellis have had after moving to one of the more established teams you can’t blame them really.
