It seems that the RFL have thought Oz have a cap of 3 Million exxchange rate is around 2 so lets half it and use that in the UK Anyone know where the figure of 1.6 comes from ?
What they should do is make it a percentage of turnover.
If they did what you want all the clubs would be governed by what Celtic can spend.
Where do you think the top players would go?
Under what I'd like to do it would incentivise clubs to grow, and get people to back them.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row

No they shouldn't. That would pretty much mean a return to a scenario where the big clubs effectively price out the smaller one's when it comes to signing the better players.

As there is no relegaton for the next 3 years and the only way salford would get rid if he misbehaved in a certain way off the field i cant see why you would want to go.
If its a wage rise he (or Offiah) is after then give him one to match the likes of Alker in the team as he imo is as important, if offiah has asked for an obsene amount (which he might to force a move) then let him go and we'll use the cash we would have used on him to secure our other promising youngsters to the club.
If our promising youngsters do go and are poached by other clubs i feel the francise system will become a failure because how can a club like salford develop on the field giving Britains next generation a chance at the top level if other club keep coming an knickin them when they turn good.
Salford should be rewarded financially for their efforts regarding the current crop of youngsters at the club by the RFL imo

I've not posted anything on the Warrington board, because, as I said, its just a rumour. I was just wondering if anyone on here had heard anything?

And that's what the argument always comes down to. It's funny how the only club who's supporters always spit their dummy out about the cap and claim we should scrap or tweak it in favour of clubs with more money is Wigan. There's even been a thread on there about it this week, it's probably still going knowing that lot. Everyone else thinks it's a good idea, that bunch of idiots don't because they're not winning trophies every year anymore. Funny, that.

25 pages and counting if it's the one I think it is. Certainly makes for some amusing reading - incredible to think how deluded some people are on the subject.
