At the launch of the 2008 season the RFL announced they were to continue their successful policy of levelling. By the and of the World Cup 2008 we knew the level English Rugby League had sunk to.
If levelling down is their policy and long term aim then we are all in trouble.
The salary cap has been static for almost the 12 years it has been in operation. It needs to change and improve.
Although I'm dead against it and always will be I know many people who are for it but they think it needs to improve.
Some believe it should have an inflation amount figured in.
Others think we should exclude players under 21 years of age.
Many are of the opinion it should go back to 50% of turnover.
When you read the RFL launch material nowhere does it mention improving standards or a way of improving our International Squads competitiveness.
This has to come from the Super League Chairmen.
Lenagan & McManus should takle the lead to take the game forward.

But i wasnt, i simply wasnt bothered that we had lost to the worst team to grace Superleague since Leigh the other year.
Maybe its the way the players just dont looked bothered either, maybe its starting to rub off on the fans who pay there hard earned each week and turn up with the hope that they may turn it around.
But im typing this post now, and i seriously would not be overally concerned if i didnt get to watch Wigan again this season. Simply bored of watching them with the lack lustre attitude.
Is anyone else feeling this way....?
Completely agree! Pretty much all of our games this season have been carbon copies. You know exactly what you're going to watch before you get into the ground. Sick to death of it now.
we were going to go to Hull KR at the end of the month but after Saturday and with it being on sky we are not bothering.
If you take into account the tickets, petrol, food etc and the fact I would be missing a shift at work I can earn double time for then the day would cost us in the region of around £150 for something we can watch on sky.
If it had not been on sky then of course we would have gone, but there is no way I am prepared to risk throwing so much money away and see them get thrashed because they don't give a damn.
All teams improve when a new coach takes over, what happens in 12 months time, if we are still in the same position?
Thats a fair point mate, but what happens if we renew Nobles contract and 12 months down the line we are doing the same thing. Winning the odd important game, losing too many to, frankly, mickey poor teams!

Whilst I'm not of a mind to be making announcements about how many games I plan to go to, it has occurred to me that I've not been to the last 4 games now due to various other commitments and I haven't missed it in the slightest.
