Well, any amendment of this nature wouldn't happen overnight, and would never be implemented midway through a salary cap year bearing in mind the way the live cap works.
You seem to think Wigan bobbed round to Red Hall a couple of weeks ago, gave Nigel Wood a sack of biscuits and sat in his office blubbing until he gave in, filled the empty biscuit sack with £100K and personally delivered it to the Tomkins house dressed as Santa Claus.
(By the way, I know that's not precisely what you think happened....but what you do seem to think is almost as silly).
Quote: St pete "Does this mean that the RFL is in wigans pocket? They certainly agreed with what Wigan had to say/pay dud t they?'"
Well obviously, the RFL are in Wigan's pockets, along with enough of the other clubs to get an amendment voted through. (It's not just a bilateral process between Wigan and the RFL you know).
I don't suppose we'll ever know, but I bet Saints voted in favour. Afterall, Eamonn (much as you dislike the idea) had already done some of the groundwork.
I'm sure you'll disagree. I won't be carrying the discussion on though. I've got 4 Nations final tickets to buy and a trip to Wrexham to occupy me.
