| Quote: bramleyrhino "Basing strategic decisions on the answer to the question "can Salford afford it?" is not a way to run a professional sport.
The salary cap is £1m less in real terms than it should be. If Salford, Wakefield or anyone else (Leeds included) cannot afford to compete when one of the main costs is £1m less than it should be, whose fault is that? And why should it be the players who pay for that lack of growth and poor commercial performance at club level?
The question we should be asking is not "CAN Salford or Wakefield afford it?" and instead "WHY can't Salford or Wakefield afford it?".
People like Neil Hudgell and Ken Davy will always vote to supress player wages because their clubs rely on their personal investment, so keeping those costs as low as possible reduces their personal contribution. Michael Carter will always vote likewise because he's an accountant and he wants Wakefield to stay competitive as possible whilst spending as little as possible.
I hoped Leeds and Hetherington were better than that.'"
Agree with this

I thought Leeds were a big club? Trying to compete by limiting what your opponents can spend? How utterly embarassing'"
As a Leeds fan I think it's embarrassing yes, but the penny pinching at the club has been gong on for years.....

| No. Leeds, who have just spent £25m on the stadium following £15m on the stadium over the previous 20 years followed by spending huge amounts, for the first time, on marquee players and significantly expanding the back room staff and employing Sinfield on no doubt £100k a year, have been anything but penny pinching over the past couple of years.
Hetherington has always been prudent, and has always driven a very, very hard deal. In the context of how the club has been run through Caddick-Hetherington era the fiscal extravagance of the past two seasons has been eye-opening.

And if we were penny pinching why pay a fortune for Merrin and Hurrel .

Nonsense
How much have we spent on the new stands?
We have also had over the last 20 years the most successful period in the clubs history and had some pretty big signings along the way.
