Quote: TheButcher "The game is imploding.
Something needs to give.'"
The problem is the sport isn't self sufficient and it's living way beyond it's means because it's not attracting enough punters. For how much longer can individuals of the smaller clubs be expected to dig deep and make up the shortfall? Either Superleague needs to go back to being semi professional or broadcasting revenue needs to be renegotiated and a sponsor found. If Sky or another broadcaster aren't prepared to pay more and Superleague can't attract a decent sponsor you have to ask some searching questions and get to the bottom of why?
For instance a question I would ask is if the salary cap has held the sport back in general for those few clubs who could spend more like Wigan, Leeds and Warrington? The analogy I would use is that you are never going to make a blockbuster movie and attract the masses on a small limited budget with a second rate cast. A great movie needs a few film stars like Superleague needs a few superstars!!
