Maybe the lack of a A team maybe taken into consideration of the lack of quality coming through the systems . Clubs can't keep all the young / fringe players together anymore to give them time or opportunity to develop there games but just farm them out to lower league sides ,then they just seem to disappear from superleague altogether just a few examples at leeds ,foster,minns duckworth ,Mann,ambler ,Tonks and will Baldwinson ever play for leeds

From an outsiders POV.

Firstly I can't believe whats going on with Leeds, even losing JP & KS I thought you would still make the top 4. But your results so far the year have astonished me.

Secondly you are in the same position as us Wires were 2/3 seasons ago when we lost Briers, Morley, Hodgson etc. It has taken us 2 full seasons to turn things around. Ive only seen Leeds once this year when we played you so I can't comment on your lay. But this year seems much much deeper than your usual slow start to the season only to go on and win it from Fifth.

I think some of the answers to your current problems are more deeper than what is going on at Leeds. I think the RFL need to up the salary cap I really do, only then will SL clubs able to attract and retain the top players. Only through the Marquee signing rule have we been able to get Chrissy who has totally changed us as a team but he is just one player. There is currently not the quality across teams that our game needs. The old adage of the salary cap levelling up the field now gone. Warrington, Wigan, Leeds, Hull, Saints & Salford now all have the financial backing to compete but we're all held back by the cap.

The cap has to stay otherwise you will get the same as when Wigan won year after year . This season is not great for Leeds but i bet plenty of others are enjoying it

That's just rubbish. A cap is a cap, not a never ending. Increasing it, increases it for all. The proof is in the pudding, the competition is declining because of the restrictions. Had we increased it in real terms then at the least we would have stayed as we were as a comp. another 200k is the equivalent of only two quality players, which would help all.

I said the cap had to stay , not that it could not be increased
