Quote: Bradford Badger "I understand where you are coming from but look at our side from 2005. Do you think we are spending the same on salaries as we did then?'"
I SUSPECT we are - more or less.
I SUSPECT that the players of some other clubs are earning considerably more - net,overall and on aggregate - than ours are. For the same alleged cap spend.
I SUSPECT we were able to use techniques ourselves in the past to achieve similar results, which techniques are now not available to us in anything like the same way. (Harris image rights, anyone?)
I KNOW that on average considerably more clubs are reported as spending at or near the cap now than then.
I UNDERSTAND that the new money into the game from the sugar daddies has driven up the packages players, especially Brits, can command.
I HOPE we are not being fed a tale by the club.
