Quote: Paul Youane "At the risk of being obliterated by all and sundry but how the hell do they expect to recruit a suitably qualified top flight candidate for such a crap salary?'"
They don't. Keith Senior book apparently also alledges that some clubs are paying players in brown envelopes and giving their relatives jobs in related third party companies.
The RFL's box ticking exercise is likely to be quite straight forward as neither the cash for the envelopes or the payroll for the relatives will be coming from the clubs.
The cap is a complete farce in it's current state. Clubs are clearly breaching it and it's not monitored closely enough.
