| The cap issue is certainly pertinent to the debate, no doubt about that. But, even under the current regime, we are, or appear to be, impacted to a much greater degree than the other clubs. Given they are very unlikely to be putting their players at unnecessary risk, we would appear to be putting ourselves at a serious disadvantage.

| Wonder if passive defence has led to people getting technique wrong / the amount of defending deep and goal line leads to exhausted players being in a bad position to tackle right

If that's true then the likes of London wouldn't be able to field a side week-in, week-out!

| Jake Connor is absolute locker room poison. No way should we be bringing him in, especially at present time.

Agree.
Mouths off at his team mates when a try is conceded even when it's his fault.
Makes Newman look like an Angel petulant wise.
Has about 1 decent game in 5
Can't even get in the Giants team due to his attitude.

The cap is certainly an interesting point here in all this. Squads are unbalanced, lack depth in some areas accross all teams, standard effected. It should be increased imo for various reasons, it's been far too low for too long.

There's other things to get right first. Increasing the cap will not increase squad sizes but will increase payments to players (although that may not be a bad thing).
There is no enough talent for 12 teams let alone trying to increase squad sizes. Lreeds seem to prefer project players to pad out their squad rather than a couple of extra decent players and then juniors being given an opportunity.

10 teams with increased cap. We need to pay our players better and also attract top talent to showcase the game in it's best light which will in turn grow the sport.

The quality of the product has to increase, there is no doubt. Squad depth across the board, so teams/positions, is generally paper thin. Improving the depth of quality in fewer teams, to mitigate the impact of player loss, would help in that regard.

| whilst I agree the thing I find most boring is playing the same team 3, 4, or even 5 times a season.

| Spot on. RL needs a strong international game it’s a farce at present. International success helps with wider press exposure too which should in-turn generate greater sponsorship
