Only 4 winners in a salary capped competition is concerning and I can't see that changing for the foreseeable future.



In the same period there has been 12 different winners of the NRL.



Your right about the profile of players today as well. In the 90's I bet most casual sport fans would have heard of Hanley, Offiah or Edwards etc. Today no one. Maybe last season with SBW but only because he played rugger.

And here's me thinking the NRL has a salary cap, just as we do.



And, by the way, scrapping is the word you're looking for, not scraping.

Yes they do but their salary cap has grown to nearly 10m



Ours still similar to the 1.8m signed in 1999

Maybe they can afford it. (And it's £5m this year)



.... and this is what ours was in 1999

Very Poor in 20 years inflation



You trying to defend it is why SL is on its booty

I'm not defending anybody, just highlighting how inaccurate your posts are.



A 5% increase per annum isn't a bad return by today's standards.
