Quote: wrencat1873 "I think that you should have phrased that "while ever players in Australia are paid so much more"..
Almost the same thing but, it's not as though RL in the UK can afford much more than "we" are paying out.
Even if the cap was scrapped, there wouldn't be any more cash swilling around in the sport.
Although, it may tempt more people to want to have a dabble at running a SL club.'"
But the gap between salaries wasn't always so big. The sport used to be able to sign Australians before they were over the hill as the earnings potential for players was similar.
The fact that SL salaries are no higher today than they were 15 years ago is a joke and shows the sport is getting smaller.
