Quote: Dezzies_right_hook "It's a fair argument that the cap is also what is holding back investors who will pour money into the game however don't want to be told they can only spend 2m on players wages. There's a fine balance and if this increase was 5/6 years ago it would have had much more of an impact than it would do now. It's a plaster where stitches are needed
We have stated that the quality in SL is as low as many can remember but we're happy to eneble us to keep the same pool in SL ??
I think that the Rfl need to be waving the tv rights to BT and play hardball with sky over getting more money'"
Possibly, although there are hardly a line of investors telling us that. The investors at Toronto seem happy enough with the situation, maybe they like the fact the salary cap is quite low, as it means they can compete without spending to RU levels as they grow their business?
I'd agree that stitches are needed, but to keep the medical analogy going, you're not cured from your first antibiotic tablet, you need to finish the course. For me, this is a step in the right direction, the only way we can push the salary cap forward is to secure a greater TV contract.
Rightly or wrongly we have our current deal till 2021, hopefully this will allow us to keep, and potentially attract better players, to leave us in a better position for further cap growth in 2022 onwards.
