It’s funny, we change the competition format at the drop of a hat, probably averaging a different competition structure every 4 years yet the one consistent has been the salary cap, for some reason it seems untouchable.

It was brought in to

A) Level the competition because Wigan (the current holders of every domestic trophy) were winning everything.

B) Protect teams financially.

It’s done neither.

It’s levelled the competition in the worst possible way. The same teams win the title, but their quality is levelled down to be closer to the mediocre teams.

If it’s a choice between watching a high quality team win all the time or a lower quality one, give me the quality one.

I don’t think many can argue that super league isn’t stale. We all know who will win the grand final. It’ll be saints or Wigan.

Bring in some other mechanism to protect team financially, and allow the teams that can afford it to build higher quality teams.

More stars in the league will make it more marketable, more lucrative, and increase the standard of the major finals, the games that matter. Sure, the same teams might win, as they do now. But the quality will be higher.

You mean the same Wakefield who are not in SL?. Or do you mean Leigh and Salford who are up there playing for a top 6 spot.

Maybe you should look further down the table for teams to have a pop at, instead of your, and your past usernames constant bashing of the 3 above mentioned teams.

Teams doing well, like Salford, without spending the full cap is not a justification for having a small salary cap / cap at all.

Scrapping the cap isn't just about teams like Wigan, St Helens and Warrington spending more and storming ahead of the rest. Its about growing the sport, attracting more players, retaining more players, bringing over better players from Australia.

I dont think his latest account leans towards Saints, shame really.

So Saints living beyond their means and blaming everyone else for losing £1mill +
