Totally agree. This would be a great idea. I should also add that , the sc should be raised to at least £2.5m and get rid of this stupid marquee crap.

Seems fair to me!

I work with one! They've never got over '68!

The problem is accountability. The two people who have declared the ‘oversight’ should be sanctioned for misconduct and/or mismanagement. We hold players, coaches and referees to standard and sanction them for failing to adhere to basic principles, CEO’s/Finance Directors etc should be also. It’s financial mismanagement at best, which is evidence of not having the appropriate skills or experience to do the job. If it’s not mismanagement, it’s deliberate misconduct, which is a breach of trust.


The cap doesn’t work because it’s not policed. Nobody cares these days. Fans are up oh arms, but realistically, £10k is the difference between promoting a kid to the first team or not. It has zero impact on the top 25 players, coaches and staff.

I know that it's difficult sometimes but, do try and keep up

There already is a tiered system and all the clubs agreed to it being implemented, that why Leeds infringment resulted in a fine. You may not like it, but the super league clubs who know more about the complexity of the cap all think thats a fair outcome for a minor first time infringement.

Who else as broken the salary cap...

Who should issue that sanction?

Certified accountants have a professional body to oversee their compliance with appropriate financial conduct rules and regulations - although as an aside, that never seems to stop PWC, E&Y, DeLoitte etc producing shonky accounts that say whatever you need them to, providing you have enough cash to pay for their silence; nonetheless, the RFL would not be in a position to sanction an accountant or FD or whomever was 'responsible' for inputting the numbers. It would be wildly unfair and totally inappropriate.

The sanction must be on the club - and where it hurts - right in the SL points; a 10k fine for multiple breaches of the cap is a joke - and is no disincentive whatsoever. One could even argue that if your club had a chance to secure SL status by breaching the cap at risk of only a 10k fine, and they didn't do so, the CEO would be guilty of dereliction of duty.

RU seem to have a better system. Saracens have just been fined £5.3 mill and docked 35 points.

And points deduction can only be applied in the current season

After failing to disclose payments to players in 16-17, 17-18 and 18-19.

Big difference.

The current superleague champions will be playing Toronto at saracens ground next season

For a far, far bigger offence.

Cap Breach = Cap Breach.
I think the point is that Union patently have a determination to inflict real hardship, no matter who breaks the cap, whilst we just pussyfoot around. Imagine if leeds had been docked 35 points...they'd be relegated and need to come back up, but until we grow a set, the likes of Leeds and Wigan will break the rules thinking they are bigger than the game, which they probably are if we are honest.
