Sod the salary cap ,put the best team available on the pitch

The fans will pay to watch, then argue about the salary cap with the clowns at the end of the season

I f the salary cap is suppose to save clubs? then how come saints are losing money every year????

Sod the salary cap

Do you know something we dont??

Steve, you'll find most will wish you well on here.

What is crippling British RL is a lack of playing pool, yet all we are seeing is more and more 'overseas' players stopping young English/Welsh lads getting a foot on the pro ladder.

We, for whatever reasons, ended up playing a squad of local lads most of whom came through the junior ranks of Leigh MR/Easts/Academy or Amateur Wigan clubs.

Toulouse and Gateshead played mainly overseas players, I cant recall how many Sheffield ended up with, yet we were all in the same comp with relegation at stake or a possible SL visa.

Again good luck with what you are building, all RL fans want expansion - how we achieve causes the division

Sheffield didn't have any overseas players that any other club couldn't have had. They just did the research and recruitment work.

And Steve what are you and your club doing to expand the game ?

You're looking all around the Rl world looking for anyone with a Greek granny et al to fill your squad up .

Is that expansion ? ..... The only expansion I can see is the way you can expand the rules to suit your selves

Now P&R is stopped by Sooper League as there are 2 expansion teams in it that can't go down ( Les Cats & CC ) and 2 teams in chumps League that can't go down ( Well 1 they would have ignored the rules for and Toulouse )

Now the question being asked Steve ....... Is It A Level Playing Feild !!!! ?

Level Playing Field? its not something they've ever seen at Mount Pleasant and Post Office Road! Seriously, its time these grounds were made to 'level' their Pitches to stop the farcical 'matches' that take place there

I agree with that Mo

First of all Steven, credit to you for coming on here and defending your club with passion. Very few would do that. I am not sure its a wise thing to do all the same but...

Secondly, we recognize that you have only played to the rules that were not set by you. Our problem is the rules themselves - for example, if its hard to attract players from the North East to play for you (as they do not exist in sufficient quantity or quality), why is the next step to go abroad for them - are there not enough decent players nationally for you to go after?

Well I wish someone would tell Bramley

There are plenty of Champ/Champ 1 quality, however that would not give the RFL what they want. Having said that with dispensations they didn't get what they wanted either........new rules for next season alert

They don't have a ground.

Just trying to find out if Mr Chairman has been taking lessons off our maurice
