You're right, there's far too many 62-0 type scorelines popping up in SL atm.

Good grief ... a Wakey fan comes onto the Wigan message board to talk salary caps, and in next to no time he's laughing about the 62-0. Who'd have thought it? |

Only responding to a jibe We don't get many results like that at BV!Just wanted to highlight its not lack of ambition or financial mismanagement that means that certain clubs can't spend up to the cap. As a club without a sugar daddy -we for example just don't have enough punters coming in the gates to top up the gap. Carter has said if we can shift 4-5k season tickets, we could spend to cap. At the moment we are doing about 2.5k so a way to go yet. |

There looks to be some good young talent, it might be hard to keep hold of them. I think you will be top 8 again. |

Can't spend cap to get good performances, hard to increase crowds losing most weeks. Hopefully we can "do a Cas" they came back from 3500k fans, into top 6 contenders and up to 6 - 8k attendances. We seem to have recruited well but I never take anything for granted as a Wakey fan FWIW - I reckon your lot are clear favourites for the title, none of the other big boys have recruited that well and as long as you stay injury free - I'd stick plenty on a consecutive GF appearance at least. |

Would have thought the reasons for the lack of marauee signings were pretty obvious top NRL players get paid around £700k a year, which is more than most SL clubs could afford Then, even if you could pay, you are unlikely to be able to attract anyone that is anywhere near an origin shirt (which they are also paid handsomely for btw) Many clubs will have a marquee player but the only proper marquee signing has been Tomkins, and you only got him because he was failing in the NRL and wanted to come home |
