Having watched a lot of games involving the likes of Bramley and Warrington Wizards I believe that Miners or East would beat Bramley easily, the teams in that division cannot defend to save their lives and with a few notable exceptions are full of players who would struggle to get into a poor National Conference side.

Skolars are classed as a development area (as is Harlequins/broncos/whatever the name is this week) and as no decision has been made as to Leighs application as of yet all is speculation.

Stop worrying we will sign who we want when we want

And stuff the rfl

Been told that the RFL will allow us to spend £200k plus any prize money winnings on players salarys, so if we win Champ 1 we can spend an extra £50k dont know what prize money is for National rail cup but if we win it thats a bit extra in the kitty.

still 200k isn't a lot is it?

Not when £180k of it goes on the fleet of coaches!

how does that work then, we sign the players hoping we win and if we don't we have broken the cap or we can only sign them when we have won (obviously if) the league in which case we don't need the extra money

Simple really if the players want a share of the money they have to win it

since when do coaching staff figure on the salary cap?

Maybe the fleet he refers to is the travel to away games, as people keep saying anything given to a player by the club/directors goes on the cap
