Didn't they change the rules this season so it is the same for all £1.6 million I believe, but we choose not to spend up that cap as essentially we can't afford it?

OK if that is the case then it needs to be looked into.
1.6 on wages for a club like Wigan is easy.
They should look at what clubs can afford and make it a level playing field.
It seems that the RFL have thought Oz have a cap of 3 Million exxchange rate is around 2 so lets half it and use that in the UK
Anyone know where the figure of 1.6 comes from ?

Wire very keen and happy to pay a 6 figure transfer fee. If Salford wait a year they will get ony 10% of that.

Hull were having a serious sniff of Turner but now they have signed Tansey that will cool.

Hmm...

A player from Salford is called up to a GB/England team...

and ends up paying for that coach's SL team!

has this happened before?

Why's that then?

No they shouldn't. That would pretty much mean a return to a scenario where the big clubs effectively price out the smaller one's when it comes to signing the better players.

Nicely veiled argument though.

As there is no relegaton for the next 3 years and the only way salford would get rid if he misbehaved in a certain way off the field i cant see why you would want to go.
If its a wage rise he (or Offiah) is after then give him one to match the likes of Alker in the team as he imo is as important, if offiah has asked for an obsene amount (which he might to force a move) then let him go and we'll use the cash we would have used on him to secure our other promising youngsters to the club.

If our promising youngsters do go and are poached by other clubs i feel the francise system will become a failure because how can a club like salford develop on the field giving Britains next generation a chance at the top level if other club keep coming an knickin them when they turn good.
Salford should be rewarded financially for their efforts regarding the current crop of youngsters at the club by the RFL imo

rather have carney than paul ,, what does paul actually do 4 you lot ?? make sure you tell your wingers to get some tackling practice when you come to H and J

hasnt been given a chance under tony smith so hes been sent out on loan to widnes for a month

Yes you would love that.
Lets get back tothe days when Wigan sign all the best players.
NO THANK YOU

UTTER TOSH !!!

And that's what the argument always comes down to. It's funny how the only club who's supporters always spit their dummy out about the cap and claim we should scrap or tweak it in favour of clubs with more money is Wigan. There's even been a thread on there about it this week, it's probably still going knowing that lot. Everyone else thinks it's a good idea, that bunch of idiots don't because they're not winning trophies every year anymore. Funny, that.

25 pages and counting if it's the one I think it is. Certainly makes for some amusing reading - incredible to think how deluded some people are on the subject.
