From Magic Superbeetle earlier in the thread....not even saying anything about Chase not being an Aussie either....

"Why sign 2 Aussie halfbacks, who are of arguable quality, when you have 2 highly rated youngsters who could be the corner stone of the team, for the next 10 years as Salford works up and become a real title contender?"

I'm not always in agreement with LeagueFreak but he's right on the money with that article

Or, instead of attracting the best talent, we could keep the cap as it is, and keep waiting for Wakefield to catch up (surely it can't be long now) and then, once the competition is even, fans will flock to watch these incredibly competitive franchises, even though the players are mostly second-rate. What could possibly be wrong with that plan?

In chess you only get better by playing a better opponent, if we let the rich clubs hoover up all the talent then that'll improve London and Wakefield...no

Oh well at least the London and Wakefield fans can enjoy the quality players running through their defence time and time again.

our wage restriction measure doesnt necessarily have to be our talent distribution measure.

We could do something to restrict wage inflation, and then something else to distribute talent. They dont need to be the same thing.
