| Quote Old_Faithful_IAKW="Old_Faithful_IAKW"After today's impressive performance, we have to build on the progress that has undoubtedly been made over the last few seasons in English RL. In particular, the outside backs are much improved.
Now, the worst thing that could happen after this Four Nations is Tomkins going to the 'dark side'. Likewise, perhaps Hall may attract some moreattention after his outstanding performance on the big stage. The big difference between us and them and the reason why a player would leave is money.
The salary cap has clear benefits for me and some clubs are only starting to spend it, increasing the cap isn't the answer (at the moment). What about allowing 3 players per club, for any player who is in either of the 2 training squads to be salary cap exempt. This may also allow the 'smaller' teams to have more England standard players as thus increasing the quality of the comp.
Thoughts?'"
No, rememeber we all have to wait for Wakefield to catch up so that we have a completely equal competition. It's taking too long, so lower the cap I say. In fact screw it, lets go 100% amateur. No pay for anyone, but a 60 foot statue of our Dear Leader Nigel Wood outside every ground, hammer and sickle in one huge fat hand, KFC bucket in the other.

| We got beat by 16 points at the current salary levels.
If they players were paid more could they get within 12 or 10 points?

| salary cap shouldn't be scrapped but it certainly should be raised, why penalise clubs such as leeds, wigan, warrington, saints and hull who are more than capable of paying more towards the cap and keeping our better players than having clubs like wakefield and cas holding us back claiming its unfair!

Don't be so pessimistic, give the RFL another 80 years or so, and then Wakefield and Cas will 'catch up' and then we'll have such an equal competition that the crowds will flock back in their thousands. Just think of the sacrifice you're making today so that your great grandchildren can watch Wakefield rise again. Hail Nigel Wood, may his reign last a thousand years. ( p.s. can I have a job at the RFL please ? )

Thats right the RFL's bias towards Wakefield and Cas is what is ruining the game, look at Rangi Chase being given Man of Steel and Celtic being told to pull out so Wakefield kept their franchise. Clubs like Wigan just don't get considered by the powers that be in our game.

One of those teams will be able to pay more than all of the others (probably Wire) should we raise the cap as high as they can go? Why penalise clubs such as Warrington because all of the other clubs haven't got sugar daddies?
FWIW, Wakefield and Cas generally finish low in the league anyway however raising the Salary cap even higher would see even more blow out scores which no one wants to see.

| For one thing, are we right to assume an increased salary cap will enable such players to stay in RL. Do we really know they're willing to spend much more.
For another, why are those top club still keeping older non-Brits at the expense of the players we're losing?
Thirdly, we need the lower end of SL to get their commercial act together and spend up to the cap.
Finally, I strongly believe that the cap makes a more even competition, and it's that competition is key to give us two things we need for the sport to grow:
Close and intense games from week to week.
An "any given Sunday" schedule that will ultimately increase attendances.

i think you have mis-read my post, its clubs like warrington and the ones i mentioned who are being held back due to the 'smaller' clubs, the cap would still have a limit even if it was raised by £300,000-£500,000
we need to be able to keep our star players, keeping at the current SC limit, the threat from union and nrl will hurt us more than clubs who will be able to spend more at the present time
