Magraff wouldn't count on the salary cap either, as he's (well) under 21. A good prospect, who would also be able to develop in Champ 1.

Its definately £150,000.

Now yous say you should have dispensations, but I read, in many threads, people complaining about how its not a fair and level league (Toulouse and Gateshead) and they are one of the causes of your relegation, but you want an unfair and un-level league next year in Championsip 1?

Might as well have - then it will be in line with SL and the Championship!

If Robbie does win the title with you next year, I reckon it will be his nineteenth honour in thirteen unique competitions:

SL x 4
CC x 2
WCC x 3
LLS
Lance Todd
RL Writers POTY
Old 2nd Division Title
Arriva Trains Cup
Trans-Tasman Test
GB-NZ Test Series
Middlesex Sevens
Alliance Yorkshire Cup (IIRC )

As we have the potential to double if not treble the attendance figures of any opther Ch 1 club, have a thriving lottery, contributions from LISA and the Corporate club, then on this income alone we stand to generate double (at least) the average income of any other Championship 1 club. Therfore we would not be in any danger of bankrupcy, therfore how is it unfair to stop any club wishing to go forward on a financial footing with so much income? after all isnt that why the salary cap was introduced?

The money the people pay at the gate will be less and you will have less opposition fans paying in as well. Will you pay less rent for the stadium `cos we did not when we were relegated from Super League, whereas the Wendyballers we share the ground with play nearly twice the games as we do. They also negotiated a sizeable rent reduction for themselves now they play in the "pub league".

How old is Danny Meekin?

20 I think

The away support this year has been poor with only Fax, Haven and Widnes bringing any , so next years away support would be irrelevant.

If that was the only reason wouldn't W1gan have bought the SL title by now, with Whelan still owning the club
I thought salary cap was supposed to even out the competition. I am all for us being given special treatment as long as we can afford etc, and compared to rest of C1 clubs we seem to be head and shoulders above them. Hopefully RFL will see this also and keep us up with clubs more of our standing as such. As someone pointed out on another thread, aprt from Doosbry the 2nd club going up will be very weak compared to us. We would expect to be challenging top 3 in Championship had we stayed up or keep us up, the C1 runner up won't be

A Cougar fan has already stated he hopes they win the play offs because we will be a strong side and i bet there are a few more wishing we wer'nt going down too.

the championship one will be dreding playing Leigh but would relish the win.... WE WILL DOMINATE THAT LEAGUE & BULLY TEAMS! ( its just abit of a set back thats all )

We will also be everybody's cup final , especially the teams packed with ex leythers , of which there are many
