I can't see the bit where he didn't accept it

NFL, NHL, MLS, CFL, NLL, NWSL, NBA, AFL, A-League, and Cricket in T20 leagues all have salary caps.

Our salary cap will still be too low compared to Rugby Union and NRL.

It's not enough it will be spent on retaining players rather than bringing players in

Should be closer to 3/3.5m to have an impact on the quality of players we can realistically attract

It's a step in the right direction though, that has to be positive?

It could mean they George Williams can stay in the SL, it may mean we can keep Clark & Currie happy here in SL, the previous set up wouldn't have allowed that.

I agree it is more a tool for established players to remain in SL, rather than to attract NRL talent, but again, isn't that positive?

Hopefully player retention means we can keep good players here, which can support a better TV contract next time around, so we can look to tweak again.

A big increase now would be a) completely unsustainable and b) create havoc in the player transfer market.

Slow and steady is the way forward.

Bit sceptical about this, you see the mess of a squad we have put together on the existing cap, not confident at all that will change under this new cap arrangement, feel it may just be spent on retaining players rather than bringing in better. Jury is out

But that's the main reason for these new measures being put in place, to keep players in SL and try and help the player drain to RU / NRL.

So by not, not accepting it he must have accepted it.......right!!

...and you can't see a dead body but that labels me a murderer?

Which is a starting point and a noble cause given the small pool of talent that the sport is operating with. It isn't in itself a panacea for the sport's ills we need to generate interest and attract more participants to our sport as we will not be competing financially with RU or the NRL anytime soon

Whoa it's no like you to be dramatic

I'm sure Ian Brady said that. Or was it 2Pac
