I'm sorry but this simply illustrates how some opponents of a salary cap, particularly some on the Wigan board, do not merely disagree with the argument of many who support the idea of a cap (which would be fair enough) they don't even understand the argument.

Pegging the salary of all mobile phone company secretaries to the same level is simply not the same. You would say that that would hold back a particularly successful company; you would be right. However most who support the idea of cap do not simply look at the competition between individual RL clubs rather the much wider issue of the competition between RL generally and other sports in particular and other leisure activities generally.

A salary cap system at least has the potential to promote competition. Without competition there would be a significant reduction is TV rights payments, sponsorship payments and gate receipts(as the payers would look to spend their money elsewhere). How would the players be paid then?

So what are you saying MJM? That Leed's unaccounted money has been spent on Wigan's admin expenses? Or are you just bringing in an irrelevence to hide the difficulty you have in saying - 'I haven't got the slightet idea what Leeds do with their unaccounted 4 mill, it's a real mystery, but it would be interesting for all of rugby league to know'?

He's already said that - I pointed this out earlier when you made essentially the same comment.

Jesus mate are you really so dim?

When your stadium is used 7 days a week it doesn't come for free. If you have a training course using the facilities whilst they may pay Leeds to use the premises Leeds have to then pay for all the asides that are required such as projectors, screens, pens, paper, tables, chairs, heating, lighting, cleaning, bottled water, buffet, etc.

You can easily see that the turn-over that Leeds attract has equivalent running costs that leave only a small operating profit.

Now what do Wigan and Saints spend their money on apart from wages?
