“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit."

Just when when I started thinking @TheRFL like me, 2 tribunals and 2 fines this morning. Great start to the day and I mean it


Hmmm. Related to the league express story? Who knows.

Quote: Bullseye "Never said Leeds didn’t buy anyone but apart from Peacock and maybe Briscoe and now Ferres I can’t think of that many proven top class British players they bought from other clubs after they’d played test rugby.

In their day Wigan bought the very best money could buy in each position – Hanley, Offiah, Gregory, Lydon, Skerrett, Platt, Connolly etc. Nowadays a club can’t go on a spending spree like that because of the salary cap so it means they have to develp their own players and it makes for a fairer competition.'"


Gareth Ellis, Keith Senior, Willie Poching, Joel Moon and Andrew Dunneman can be added to the list of those bought from other clubs.

There are also a host of overseas players as well and it's worth remembering that quality overseas players weren't really available to Wigan during their era of dominance because the seasons ran at different times and the best Ausies stayed in Australia.

Scott Donald, Brent Webb, Clinton Toopi, Ali Lauitiiti, Kylie Leuleuai, Danny Buderus, Brett Delaney and Mitch Garbutt to name a few.

Leeds didn't break the transfer record though did they.

As you say it's unfair to compare overseas player signings as the timings of seasons allowed Wigan to get the very best.

Before the salary cap Leeds spent big and won nothing and it almost saw them go bust.

I see parallels with Salford now.

Not quite, Leeds were always a "big" club with a decent following.
Salford have, at least in my time watching RL, have never had a decent following.

Their problem is total lack of patience and only being able to attract players looking for a big pay day, prior to hanging up their boots.

Having said that, Sheens is a superb coach and if he stays there, Salford will improve but, the Dr. will need to give it time.

Quote: Him "Why is a £2.5m cap simpler or clearer than a £1.8m cap?

Which Championship clubs can afford the £1.5m?


I have a new plan. It's brilliant and simple and clear. Let's put the salary cap to £10m a year. That'll show those bloody Aussies and Union types.'"
