Agreed.
As a leeds fan, we better get used to the more of the same.

You can say its working when we beat the Aussies convincingly... That should be the aim.

That isn't the job of the cap, that is the job of the reduction in O/S players.

The Aussies have a salary cap. They are quite capable of beating us convincingly.
So what are you talking about?

How can the salary cap make us beat Australia? They beat us because they have the pick of a lot of quality athletes. In this country the people who play rugby league are usually sparrow legged geeks whilst all the athletes play football for the nags head.

Ahh, but if we didn't have the salary cap they'd all be playing for rugby league teams, as we can easily outbid and out-glamour the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd/City.
Stands to reason, dunnit?

You are right, it is working......it has evened up the teams.....BUT you watch a game from pre super league and tell the quality of players has improved, tell me the games are better to watch. The semi was great today but how many poor games do we have with no skill and 'playing the percentages'.
It has worked but has also made another thing worse.

I think the attractive nature of the earlier games was also due in large part to the semi pro defences, which were more vulnerable to moving the ball.

The tries Huddersfield scored today were leagues ahead of the tries Wigoon scored against Brisbane in Australia.

As someone who has been spending the last month or so converting old matches from tape too digital media I can state categorically that the above is absolute rubbish.
The standard of play pre SL in uk was laughable. It was only when John Monie came to Wigan that you could see a side with structure in offence and defence reminiscent of todays teams. Even then you got the impression Wigan were going through the motions for most matches and winning comfortably.
