Quite like the middle 8s,but if people want who ever finishes top of the championship and bottom of the super league to get an advantage and disadvantage why not start the winners of the championship on 2 points and the bottom team of the super league on -2 points,just an idea to reward the winners of the championship and punish the bottom team in super league,but they still have to prove the're good to get into super league via the middle 8s

It's alright saying give cap dispensation for homegrown talent if we were playing in an ideal world where that talent isn't cherry picked by SL clubs. The Championship cap has to be raised to somewhere like 1.4M if we're realistic about having regular movement between divisions. Wakefield are probably the team most likely to be picked off at some point because they haven't spent the full cap for some time now. If a club like Leigh or Bradford go up they'll probably spend closer to the 1.8M cap and the goalposts will be even further away for aspiring Championship clubs.

Quote: Pie minister "Cokey at that time of the year when the mid 8s are to be played you will find it very difficult to bring in quality players before any deadlines as theybwill command big transger fees which count on the cap also bringing a player in at the beginning of the season will tie up a fair chunk of any cap leaving your squad pretty thin on numbers.

It isnt just a case of raising the cap for the sake of being equal its all about being able to afford to spend up to the cap in the first place and not harm the club in doing so.

Hence my suggestion that homegrown talent should not be counted on the cap'"


you mean like
Club Trained Player Allowance
The intention behind this allowance is to reward Clubs for developing (and investing in the development of) Players.
Any Club Trained Player shall be deemed to have a maximum Salary Cap Value of £40,000. Any amount paid to the Player in excess of £40,000 shall be disregarded in calculating his Salary Cap Value.

A ‘Club Trained Player’ is a player who was on the Club’s register for any 3 full Seasons before the end of the Season in which he ceases to be eligible by age to play at Under 21 level.
'"


That is currently in the rules, and has no SL equivalent?

Correct, they'll just become feeder clubs...Which isn't right.

I can see the RFL adding a bonus point system to the qualifiers, before raising the cap next time round to be honest.

Quote: reffy "In my opinion it is a system you have thought up which would have ensured promotion for Leigh, it is a contrived handicapping system. Giving Leigh a 5 point start over Wakefield when there are only 14 available is a nonsense.'"

It's likely we'll lose to Widnes on Sunday while Wakefield will beat Sheffield so we'd still miss out on the million pound game even with a 5 point start. I think 5 points is a reasonable start for a team which had only lost one game out of 23 over one which has only won 3, might have prevented them from admitting to throwing the whole regular league competition which is surely bad for the competition & sport.

As for the salary cap Championship clubs do need to be able to spend closer to the SL clubs they're playing but obviously have to be careful of clubs over spending. As it stands isn't the £1Million cap only available to clubs that can prove they have the money & there's a lower cap for other clubs? Another tier at say £1.4M for clubs that can show they have the money & a financial plan could help.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



If the salary cap is moved closer then your handicapping system would then become unfair. Things to look at ....Salary Cap and Transfer Deadline. You are looking for 4 best clubs from 8 all should start on Zero.
