Increasing the cap would benefit very few clubs. How many could actually afford to pay an additional 1-2m per season without being bank rolled? You then have the issue of 2 or 3 clubs holding on to the top players without any reason to let them go, those players would also demand higher wages if they left to another club.



Before the salary cap increases the RFL need to invest in the sport, we need higher profile sponsors and more fans through the gates which in turn would give the sport a higher chance at securing better TV rights.



Increasing the cap is a short term fix for a long term problem.

What's the news on Sly Solomona ?



Have I missed summat ?

I believe it was the judge that adjourned the case to give both sides an opportunity to agree a settlement, Sale all along have said they have done nothing wrong and owe Cas nothing so the judge must think otherwise.



Sale have been remarkably quiet these last few months.



rumours both sides (lawyers)were to meet for the last time over a week ago heard nothing since, maybe they are close to an agreement maybe they are miles apart and are now awaiting for a court date, I would expect some kind of announcement soon.

It was said in the union press that it's back in court early May.
