Nope that's the job of the quota.

Communist cap FFS how are Saints supposed to dominate finals with this rule

the old deflect the loss on the great SC trick hey

Saints balance sheet next year should be "interesting"

why?

indeed, one team spending more than they what the bring in via revenue beating another team spending more than they bring in via revunue relying on their owners to prop them up, that definately wouldnt have happened pre-SC

just think under an non SC world the top four would be made up of clubs with rich owners willing to invest heavily in the squad, like Mcmanus, Davy or Caddick, and certainly a club wouldnt be able to spend a fortune on overseas players to make it like Hull KR

and in a none SC world, two club like Wire and Hudds wouldnt be in the final because their tinpot chirmen couldnt afford it

except maybe Caddick, Davy, Moran, Mcmanus are pretty rich and spending a fair penny on their clubs, and maybe it isnt down to the SC but intelligent businessmen that has helped these clubs

No final appearances = Less cash

Does the club get cash for the Challenge Cup or is it just the players?

The club makes a killing off a Cup final appearance.

Looks like the bog wall won't be getting painted this season.

Which begs the question, will we be spending anywhere near the salary cap next season or are we making cutbacks because of the financial black hole the stadium scenario is?

If someone with McManus' experience and resume can't keep a club afloat we might as well roll up the sport and watch football.

its kool

a cup final can be worth anywhere up to £500,000. If we don't get the grand final we could lose £1million for the financial year
