Isn't the marquee player rule also there to help teams technically get around the salary cap? What about the players of whom their wages are subsidised by the RFL?
Rugby League is on its way to becoming a sugar daddy sport. I don't necessarily see the issues with the rules as they are now. Is not been able to spend massive money111 on Australian imports a bad thing? Will it let young British players develop? If the quality of coaching improves then surely the players will improve? How many English players are playing in the NRL because they can get more money? Not exactly loads. Do we think raising the salary cap will keep the English players that have gone to the NRL in England?
I don't think it's clear cut in terms of what raising the salary cap will actually achieve in terms of improving the sport. I actually think the competition will become a lot less interesting and we'll see a split between clubs that have the financial power and those that don't - even more so than we do now. Do we want to go a similar way of the same clubs finishing in the top 5 every year like in football?
Good post Adam
Just shows what a great job MC and CB have done with what money is available, and CC to work within what he is given and get what he does (sometimes) out of the players.
The whinos have not thrown massive amounts around recently and seem to be ok, again due to a coach getting the best out of what he as got.
To me, the game as bigger problems than the SC, it is losing its flair and becoming sterile, players cheating, the ruck is a mess, the obstruction rules, forward passes, referees all on the same page, are just some of the areas that need looking at.
If it wasnt for Wakefield Trinity my interest in the game would wane dramatically.
