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.

The RFL are the body in charge, they are responsible in making sure all the rules and regs created by whoever, are fit for purpose.

Given Salford have been saved , have any of our inside track posters heard anything about who we might be after to fill the Sivo space, assuming the quota issue is cleared up. Given each club has 7 quota spots , who usually fill spots in the starting 17, the rules don’t cater for 40% of the potential players that could be impacted. That’s a pretty poorly thought out rule.
