He's not though is he.
The majority of the clubs who want to spend more are the ones most in debt, hence the unseemly scramble to axe two clubs and like the parasites they are split the bounty between them to save their own filthy necks.

I can't speak for all SL clubs but my own club Trinity has had a very rocky two years, yet considering we got an Academy licence we clearly don't pick players up off the street, we very much nurture our own.
The problem with pratts like you is you generalise and use any soundbite that suits you.
The reason the game is in the doldrums is down to greedy clubs like yours, or am I generalising here.
Funny how the cap works just fine in the NRL.

The cap does need to have all clubs capable of spending the money at the bottom, and at the top end dispensations for so called marquees clearly destroy the purpose of the cap.
Does the NRL simply run an even cap tightly police??
This thread is hilarious. People claiming it’s not fair that their club can’t spend the cap so the clubs that can should be penalised.
You can’t make it up. As I said, the haves are being penalised because of the have nots.
Just look at the sponsors on our game when Wigan were dominating compared to now. The biggest club in the country is sponsored by a shop for smack heads.
But sure, if it stops Wakefield and Salford going bust, it’s obviously working

That's the big difference. In the NRL you will see players one year playing for one of the top sides in the competition and a year later they are with a side who can't even make the play offs.
Super League has never really had a market where the top players are traded between all clubs.
You don't even see the top teams trade players. The best players tend to sign long term contracts at a club and then they either stay at one club for life or go to the NRL.
You even have players like Bateman and tomkins who went to the NRL and then when they return to SL they ended up back at the same club they left.

what is hilarious your club never mind your user name, Saints have won for the last 3 years and are favorites for next season yet you still whinging for more spend
without the have not's you as you put it you would have a small league
I do agree that the cap should of been link to inflation though that would of made sense but then we have had the marque introduced and the union dispensation
A quick google says the average wage in 2000 was around £18,500 p.a. Average wage in 2021 is £38,000.
Salary cap should have at least, kept pace with this % rise.
As usual with all things RL, all though not exactly skint, the game is just about ekeing out a living and with a lack of innovative chairmen around, I can't see things improving any time soon.
