I thought the SC was managed in real time now?

well there's one problem you've just mentioned brown paper bags and tax/vat avoidance in the same sentence

After the debacle that has been my club over the not to distant past (amongst others) and the damage it’s done to the sport I’ve wondered whether club owners could be made to pay a bond at the start of the season?



That could be withdrawn and used to pay players wages or returned with interest (dependant on community work) at the end of the season.



Rather than withholding central funding that leads to further issues/puts off investment.

Wasn't this loophole closed some time ago?

Do the RFL hold the contracts? The RFL will have oversight of the contracts for salary cap reporting, but the contracts are between the players and the club, not the players and the RFL.



And aside from anything else, why do we need the RFL to take on a function that multi million-pound businesses should be more than capable of doing?
