Quote: dirtbag83 "I don't think you'll find many people on here that want the Cap abolished altogether but although the aim of evening the competition is applaudable, the reality is that all the Cap has ended up doing is hold back the stronger teams and bring them down to the level of the weaker clubs, rather raising the standard of weaker teams, resulting in a weaker competition as a whole. There is no incentive for anyone to improve anything with the way the cap is curently structured'"


The big clubs need holding back, particularly Wigan. Bought for a fiver and wouldn't exist now if it were not for Dave Whelan needing a multi-use angle for planning permission on his new stadium for Latics.

Perhaps we could have SC bands A, B, C etc.. with penalties.
The higher band the club want to be in, the less they get from the RFL pot. That extra money can then be used to support the lesser well off clubs, to build with.

The salary cap should be lower, Most clubs can;t afford it and it has done little to create an even competition due to this. I would set it at 1.2million but allow bonus spending for players that will actually add to the game ie:

1.2mill base
an additional 250k to spend on any Welsh or French International standard RU player signed
and additional 250k to spend on any current Australian or NZ Test player
an additional 25k for every player your club develops through your own jnr programme
players that have olayed 10 years for one club are cap exempt

that would do me.

That would do most big clubs. They would have an extra £300k on current cap levels just on the academy players bit.

But clubs can't afford to spend more, so there really is no need to let them.

Maybe they should be spending more on having feeder clubs icon_wink.gif , then they could share ' facilities ' like grass fields , balls and tackle bags icon_lol.gif

My question was should the Salary Cap be increased and I think I got my answer it all depends on which club support

Thats a real shame because I am first a rugby league supporter who supports the national team and realise doing nothing now would mean we have to bring as many NRL players across to play for England as possible or we have no chance against the Kiwis never mind the Aussies

2nd im a Hull FC fan and wish we could sign players like Cooper Cronk as the club can afford it but why would he want to come and play in a sub standard league

And what about the players? what do they get in return for their cut in wages?

Not that it's any of my business , but it should be higher , but until all or more are able to spend up to it with ' earnings ' , then it will stay approximately where it is

And where is the incentive for those clubs to sort out their marketing, strategy, player development, academies? None - as they aren't the ones being held back.

It really depends if you see defections to Unioin as a problem that HAS to be solved, or just a pain that you can live with. At current levels of defections, the likes of Joel Tomkins leaving may be seen as something we can live with. If it were Sam, would people think the same?

If defections are viewed as a real threat to the sport then the level-playing field issue doesn't cut it - we ought to look at any solution to the issue (e.g. completely exempting third-party payments to players). If that benefits the top few clubs, sobeit.

If defections aren't seen as life-threatening to the sport, then we carry on as we are.

Based on my salary cap most players wouldn't actually get less, but it would target clubs to be more productive in range of areas.

ps getting 50-100k to exercise all week and then play a game for 90 minutes isn't a bad life!

If RU clubs were to regularly attract RL stars and pay them the sort of money being bandied around, we might suffer a few years of pain. But it will all be worth it because after five years of defections the RFU would be bankrupt.
