Quote: RoyBoy29 "Bit of a double edge sword isnt it.

Keep the cap so there is some equality, a bit of a level playing field.

Scrap the cap and watch a couple of teams take over dominance, leaving the rest to fall by the wayside if they dont have the financial means to pursue glory.

At ough call, each of us have an opinion. I dont think there is a right or wrong answer.'"


Keep the cap and let Wigan/St Helens dominate
Get rid and let Wigan/St Helens dominate

Tough choice if you ask me.
I dont know the answer as I am sure others dont but I do know that Aus teams will carry on raiding our squads for the betterment of theirs and not ours.

We however need strong teams a bit like HKR/ Leigh/Wire/Leeds etc coming through. Would it help if they could spend what they want, possible ! would it,who knows but this is down to the owners to spend wisely.

For me, the cap needs to be raised,( by how much, I'm not sure). We need to be able to keep our top quality players, and also attract more quality players from the NRL. It's important that we can get as much quality on show as possible to put more bums on seats. If anything, this would allow other teams, apart from Wigan & Saints, to catch up to their level, and seriously challenge for honours.

If you want more quality on show "scrap the cap".To get more NRL you would have to raise the cap to match theirs, in real terms would be practically getting rid of the cap.
Ultimately it is upto the clubs owners/backers to manage the finances of said club.

TBH - I don't think they're going to scrap the cap, but increasing it significantly would give us some kind of measure to where it should be, and give us a guide to see if it needed tweaking any further.

'Thus I am tormented by my curiosity and humbled by my ignorance.' from History of an Old Bramin, The New York Mirror (A Weekly Journal Devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts), February 16th 1833.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33809.png

I’ve mixed feelings about it.

We’re certainly asking the cap to fix too many problems. Competitive balance, financial stability, even propping up the academy system. And scrapping it would at least spare us the nonsense about ‘great culture’ and it all being about ‘developing your own players’.

However, moving from the outcome of the season being drearily predictable to a higher proportion of games being non-contests would still be a big step. If Wigan are winning by 40, 50, 60 nearly every week, only ever challenged by Saints you’d think the best players might eventually want to go elsewhere (i.e. the NRL) for a challenge.

Ultimately I suspect it’d have to lead to greater change. Possibly fewer, bigger teams - and we all know how popular the idea of mergers is. But I feel like we’re already on the edge of what is tolerable for predictability.
