it's done nothing of the sort. It's failed hugely to even the competition.

garry hetherington and Simon moran both proposed a marquee allowance before koukash even bought Salford.

Imagine the premier league without the top 6/7 teams. You'd have teams such as Stoke and West Ham in the top 2/3. This is what we have now and we need to improve the quality of the sport in this country in order for it to grow

Looking at the league table this season says differently

Look at results, ok come play offs some teams don't handle it well but twice catalan have been a game away from old Trafford, at the cost of some dodgy refereeing decisions

And look who wins the premier league every season, the same rich clubs and has done more damage to the England national team

So why no public interest before koukash

I simply can't understand how in a new era of promotion and relegation the top flight can arbitrarily vote to FURTHER inhibit the ability of Championships clubs to compete in the muddle 8s.

There are people above suggesting this is a great idea to grow the sport, when in fact it entrenches the tiny nature of the top flight by ensuring aspirant clubs like Leigh and Bradford (to name just two) are cut adrift.

Yet we have a salary cap and only 4 teams have won our competition. So what would happen is it would be the same just more exciting and higher quality

the best Aussies might not. But the best kiwis or pack islanders don't have the rep issue.

There are more players to go after than the 40 SoO players.

Considering the news from Hull KR this week I can't see how anyone could argue against any player getting more money.

There was. Just not as much. The squeeky wheel it seems, got the oil.

Nothing will change at all as the same teams will be at the top whilst the others are struggling. This will make Super League weaker as not all teams could afford a marquee signing.

and les Catalans have the 2nd biggest turnover in SL. They aren't a little guy getting a leg up from the SC

Like I said, stamp your feet n others will give in eventually

Ok what about Cas being one win from finishing top?

Tough sh!7

Players know quality when they see it. When you have a world class player on the pitch that stands above everyone else then that will be recognised.
