[quote="Clearwing":1frf5pq5]Have we sent one? We may go as we are.[/quote:1frf5pq5] Blease is on record as seeking their guidance so the inference is that if the opportunity presents itself we'll utilise the cap and quota space.

[quote="tad rhino":3uhl3xck]fair enough that nobody considered it, but why it's taking so long is amateurish.[/quote:3uhl3xck] Maybe they need to consult with lawyers, and that's never a quick process

[quote="Clearwing":17r1wgz7]Only reason I can think of is that they might need the clubs to approve it. No idea if that's right though[/quote:17r1wgz7] It very possibly needs other club approval, most things in SL do. It may also be tied in with the RFL's agreements with the home office over quotas and visas. But nah I'm sure it's just incompetence.

But nah I'm sure it's just incompetence.[/quote:piz7jjph] I wouldn’t want to employ you with the reactive rather than proactive mindset. I don’t think it takes a genius to consider when giving salary cap dispensation’s for players injured in pre-season what to do in scenarios where the player is on the quota but clearly thats just me.

The lack of competence isn’t around anything to do with other clubs or the government, it’s around how something that is relatively obvious can be missed in the first place. When RFL were thinking about rules around excluding players from the cap, it’s at best negligent of them not to consider the impact on different categories of player that could be affected.

The misunderstanding here is thinking it is the RFL who create the salary cap rules.
