Quote: PHOTO FINISH "[i
We at Salford City Reds are facing this sort of thing more or less every week this season and quite a lot of our fans are calling for Shaun McRae's head but at the end of the day he does not drop the ball or miss any tackles.

[/i'"


Nor did karl H .....he was given 3 year contract, that I guess is still being paid...how further on are we ? we have to rely on loans from other clubs......move him sideways I say, just like Souths.....put Alan Hunte in charge a026.gif

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



Or it could just be that we have a calculator, pen and paper, good players and an excellent coach.

If there is anything amiss, SL will find out.

Quote: red13pjb "Because you have bought your way to the success you have got and continue to buy (Brett Hodgson!). No-one can deny that wire have signed an awful lot of high profile players who will not be playing for peanuts.
Also it seems funny to me that as soon as the salary cap "went live" so to speak there have been no breaches of it. What suddenly the clubs have all cleaned up their acts and the players are accepting less money?!? If only all of the RFL's legislation was as successful!!!!!!!!!!!!!'"



Bought our success? we're not allowed to pay anymore than salford are allowed to pay?

Likewise, is selling our supposed best player last season in gleeson, then the squad improving 'buying our way to success'

And whilst you find it funny now there's no breaches under the live cap, you'll find it hilarious to know that warrington have never broken the salary cap since its inception. The RFL usually audit us first cos we divvn't fook aboot and use us the benchmark for the rest of SL.

To die of thirst we have no fear. As long as we get Holts' beer!!!!:39789.jpg



Yes you are allowed to pay more than Salford since your income is more than ours and the first stipulation of the cap is a percentage of income. The ceiling of 1.2 million (I may stand corrected on that figure!) is way above the percentage that Salford are allowed to pay out because of this low income. Therefore clubs like Wire can go further in paying their players than we can which shows that Salary Cap does not do what it's ultimate objective is and that is to level the playing field somewhat.

Secondly, you signed what many would consider to be our best player from last season (Myler) after we had offered him a record contract to stay with us. How much must you be paying him if he can turn down a contract like that? (and before anyone claims he went to Wire to win things and further his international claims, do you think Mr 10% Offiah really let him accept less money to go there than we offered him?)

Thirdly, I find it funny (that's peculiar not ha ha) that there have been no breaches of the cap since going live from all clubs particularly the habitual offenders of Wigan, Saints and Bradford. Are we really so naive to believe that this is true. I've obviously touched a nerve with my tongue in cheek comment (look at the winks that appear on my original post!!!).

Lastly, improving your squad with big name signings is exactly buying your way to success. I wish we could do it; within the confines of the cap of course, but we can't!

Salford are allowed to spend just as much as Warrington. Our (lack of) income means that we can't. The cap being a percentage of income was scrapped a few years back.
