| The debate around the impossible problem has been around for decades, literally.
The salary cap is still relevant IMHO. If you just let nature take its course, yes Leeds might be competitive but you're looking at a 4-5 team Super League.
If you want more fans across the game, each side must be competitive. There is no magic formula to increase revenues significantly by traditional means.
Like I've said before, the game simply cannot afford in-fighting and a lack of vision. How do you fix that? United governing body for a start, and I've suggested a closer link with the Australian game too.
It is in everyone's best interest to make the international programme meaningful again, and let's face it we've been off the pace for as long as most of us can remember.
The game won't die in any case, but it can decline a fair bit still. We're already starting to look like a feeder competition for the NRL.

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.
