Any club that get the chance to apply for super league needs to have a good financial base. How can a team sign the palyers to sell shirts and get bums on seats when restriced by the salary cap. If teams from the championship have any chance of getting and competing in super league they need to be allowed to grow. If clubs have money good for them. The salary cap was a OK idea when super league was avaliable by winning the grand final because teams were going sh*t or bust and when teams failed they were in trouble. Now there is no promotion teams will not run over there means for the sake of one season they all have long term plans now, so release teams to grow.

I dont know what all the fuss is about re salary cap its a blatant restrictment of rights and if someone takes the RL to a tribuneral
it will blow it out of the water end off.. Cant believe no SL club as tried it
OR HAVE THEY !!!!!!!!!! and the RL HAVE KEPT IT UNDER WRAPS !!!
INTERESTING !

The RFL own the game. Take them to court and you would be looking at getting booted out of any comp.
Simple really, Leigh (and I do feel sorry for their fans) spat their dummy out last July when they didn't get a licence......ergo.......if you call the people who run the game a disgrace...those same people won't be lining up to help you out.
What's the old saying about burning bridges

Well maybe if 21 of the 35 member clubs take them to court, they could completely destroy the game by kicking 21 clubs out. Then with a 21 club organisation well managed and marketed as opposed to a 14 club organisation........................who knows

seriously....nearly 9,000 posts and you BELIEVE THAT


Rupert Murdoch pays the wages, sells the dishes (advertising) and in reality, saved the game.
Yes, We and others have been given a leg up and yes, it probably isn't fair, but if you think for 1 minute that the C and C1 clubs could break away and make a go of it, you really are missing a sandwich from your picnic!

Oi party line tower



Tell me again how much money do you and us get out of sky







Keep sucking that booty they may let you back in again

But then again you seem a tad close to other clubs and the rlf can't have that

Is it though? It doesn't neccesairly restrict trade and movement just wages to an extent!

When we finally got a crack at Super League, what dispensation did we get then? none! we had but a matter of weeks to assemble a squad to compete in Super League and, by the time we had won promotion most of the available players had found clubs!
It used to irritate me when 'Super League' teams were relegated and received parachute payments. Not only did these 'fallen clubs' retain their squads, many of them actually improved them! Huddersfield, Castleford and Salford have been in Super League since the outset and, to hear Media pundits talk when these clubs are at the foot of the table, they make it sound like they are new to Super League! Correct me if i'm wrong, Huddersfield have spent one season out of SL, Castleford one season and, Salford two!
Widnes have also suffered this unfairness.
I'll not get on about Stadia etc, although, I'm wondering when Wakefields 'new ' Stadium is complete, many years ago their Chairman at the time, promised to build one to ensure they attained the SL criteria upon promotion!
Have they had a (quiet)dispensation

? please advise

Oh dear kirkhall you are speaking to much truth my friend



Over to the party line towers

Failed your economics "CSE" did you?

You also forgot that the London Broncos (as they were then) got even more help than they were already getting from the buffoons at Redhall. They were allowed to sign players that we were in the race for knowing that they were on the brink of going bust. When they did and couldn't pay wages the RFL did what. Sweet F A. Oh no they didn't, they got more help.
