i think you have mis-read my post, its clubs like warrington and the ones i mentioned who are being held back due to the 'smaller' clubs, the cap would still have a limit even if it was raised by £300,000-£500,000

we need to be able to keep our star players, keeping at the current SC limit, the threat from union and nrl will hurt us more than clubs who will be able to spend more at the present time

Raise the salary cap? everyone really think British players would get paid more, I reckon it would be more money to overseas players!!

I think the Union Cap goes upto 4 million on players squads, so to keep more players i think a maximum salary cap of say £3 million?Yes we want it competitive and smaller clubs to grow, and if sky paid abit more to league clubs then 3 million would be more realistic.If you are no good at football then you can make a career in Rugby league.If could get more youngsters playing in schools and know can earn decent money, there will be more fulltime players to choose for the National team.In Australia they have 16 teams on fulltime decent wages and we have 14 and not all on great wages.

This is where you limit the number of imports, so only quality aussies play?If say a rule of 6 to 8 maximum in a squad of 25 then it be fine.

I agree with this.

I remember the days when Maurice Lindsay was claiming that the salary cap was meaning Wigan were having to lose talented young players (Briscoe, Aspinwall, Robinson etc) when Wigan had the money to spend big on Vaealiki, Seu Seu, Moran, Ainscough, O'Neill etc

lol I think you need a bit more than that

Although I always enjoy it when people say "the best athletes in this country go to football because they earn more"

Yes I am sure that the athleticism of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard reaches levels Morley, Peacock, Graham and Roby could never attain

Get rid of the bang average overseas players in the league and you can afford to keep your stars.

The most bizarre comment on RLFans, ever.

Why money talks and clubs like Leeds,Wigan and Hull could afford a higher salary cap.If could spend more then Ashton,Tomkins etc may not have gone to union.

I coach kids at U16s. I chose that age to coach because that's "decision time" both in terms of choosing which sport, and in terms of choosing sport vs (but should be and) real work vs being a waster. On no occasion, has the ultimate renumeration ever came up as a factor in the decision between RU, RL and soccer. Enjoyment of the sport and chance of success have always been the factors.

Leeds have rarely spend right to the full salary cap, and Leeds, Wigan and Hull all continue to employ mediocre foreign players.

Nothing to do with that and probably more good players about who could have played rugby.My mate played footy when was at school in a football area, so never introduced to rugby.Now too old and is very strong and fast.Probably lots more in t country like that like the Liverpool area.We need to assess builds and get more variety of pt in schools.More players playing fulltime rugby will bring more competition.Just look at Australias strength in depth.

This why the Rfl need to bring rules into place, so only so many foreign players.

I say get of the playstation the lazy fat kids.

So, you seriously think, the above mentioned clubs have an additional £1.35 million per annum sloshing around in their coffers?
