Sportsmen can be motivated by many things - the desire for fame, for winning trophies, for money, et cetera. Some would relish the challenge joining a side that finished 14th in SL in 2013 and helping to transform it back into the glamour club it was in the 1930s and 1970s. The 'handicap' of not being a current powerhouse may just make the challenge more appealing. (Or it may not, but Marwyn has nothing to lose, and plenty to gain, by aiming for the best).

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.
