Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

What i wouldn`t mind knowing is how much Celtic Crusaders will get to spend on their squad for 2009, surely they won`t be given the full salary cap to spend as you have to earn that right with increased crowds and revenue etc

It will be interesting to know how the RFL will calculate their salary cap for 2009 because if it went on this years crowds then Celtic wouldn`t even be able to afford Johnny Warbo, quality aussies and other quality players don`t come cheap.

I'm sure RLFans Salary Cap Tsar SEB will know better but I'm pretty sure that there is now a 'flat' rate of 1.8 million rather than one calculated on revenue etc, making all of your post irrelevant.

I may well have dreamt that though.

Quote: padgate wire "Why is it not going to be the case the Salford stadium is already under construction and will be ready for the start of the 2010 season. So that will be 1 season at the old ground .
TBH i would be more worried about the Castleford ,Crusaders and Wakefield stadiums being up to scratch than the Salford one which imo is in the bag
Also Bradford ,Saints ,Hull kr and Leeds have a long way to go to get there stadia up to the required mark.
And to be brutally honest the only clubs who are already there are Wire,Hull,Wigan (although it is rented!) and Huddersfield .'"
Salford stadium, not yet a brick in place....ill wager anyone that Salford do not start 2010 in there new stadium.

Quote: gazthered "www.reds.co.uk/newsroom/features/adam_thomas_may08_pt2.html

have a read of that and tell me how much you want to bet. if you believe in yourself that much lets do it. im confident in my club so are you confident in yourself? icon_cool.gif

To be honest though, I have no problem with Salford's inclusion...they were nailed on to make it.

The one thing that slightly bothers me, is that it is obvious that nobody at the RFL possesses a set of testicles in order to actually boot out an existing club....Whatever their future plans may hold regarding stadia, both Castleford and Wakefield can count themselves very lucky to make it, in my opinion.

Both have grounds that make Knowsley Road look like Old Trafford...(ok, a slight exaggeration.. icon_lol.gif )... and both within about 10 miles of each other......Considering that there is such a lop-sided feel to Super League at present in Yorkshire's advantage, and with the RFL looking to expansion, I would have thought at least 1 of those could have been looking at being kicked out.

Good job for them the boys at RFL are so incompetent... icon_cool.gif

Have they published the grades for the sides that didn't make it?
