Don't all clubs have a salary cap relative to their league?

I'm sorry but if your trying to make a point I have missed it

I don't think a salary cap has anything to do with a team becoming more organised

Oh and we are spending the same now as we were in May, which isn't up to the cap as you have probably already seen as it has been publically stated many times.

Id say its more to do with the appointment of Brian Smith at the club.

And what's the salary cap relative to the league we are both in now.Not really a level playing field is it!

Your right had BJB scored it would of been 22 0 but he didnt score due a good tackle and been put into touch.in fact had our centre passed to his winger with 8 mins to go you would of lost the game end of so wakey arnt that bad yes you was better team by far in first half but not the second

Its been a very long time since team sport had a level playing field. Name me one other sport that funds lower tier teams the same amount as the premier teams.

Correct, it's not - so it's very hard to compete. Although, I didn't hear many people saying this when you were lifting the Championship league leaders shield a few weeks ago - some very positive posts instead about your chances of promotion.

I said at the time (and got slated) that Leigh's defence was suspect against good teams and hasn't been tested enough this year, it's proved the case in the first 2 games, and it looks like Wakefield are starting to improve. But as stated elsewhere, you are more than capable of beating all the Championship teams to get you in the mix, then it's all down to a one off game, which Leigh have a good recent record.

Dumdest point in a generally dumb thread.

Where on earth does it state that there is a level playing field. What are you suggesting, that the bottom 4 SL teams go part time and shed half their players - get real.

As for the general argument regarding recruitment, Wakefield can sign who they want when the want finances permitting. That said the squad is pretty much the same in terms os cost and quality as it was at the start of the season. However the new players seem to suit our needs far more. When a coach like Brian Smith joins you he's bound to make changes or are you denying him that option?

If it's any consolation our defence is still a little fragile and as yet we have not managed the full 80 minutes. Also you've played and beaten us once so you know the drill - anyones game still IMHO.

BUT NO EXCUSES PLEASE.

No, we beat Super League Wakefield, this is Middle Eights Wakefield

Why's wanting to talk about the game a "dumb thread"?

Remembering why I don't bother with this forum anymore.

Alot of emphasis seems to be on salary cap, but forgetting Wakey are/were operating on the lowest budget in Super League by quite a bit. Wakey even offloaded some of the higher earners, and replaced them with players who are either on loan or probably on less than their predecessors. So I dare say are now on an even lower salary budget than earlier in the season. Pretty weak argument in my opinion.

Not all Championship sides are part -time.. And who said anything about knocking SL salary cap down.Both Bradford and London were given parachute payments for being relegated and still remain full-time. You speak totally from a SL perspective and obviously suffering from tunnel vision.

If the roles change next season,I'm pretty sure you'll be asking the same questions.

You will get no excuses from me.As Saturday will definitely be a level playing field.

I think it was JGR who stated in another thread that Salford were 300k under the salary cap with their offloading..Thats still 550k above our salary cap.Yes pretty weak argument indeed.

At the beginning of this season SL's elite played the NRL elite, Saints got hammered as they were not used to playing at such intensity against better players. I am sure that after a season in the NRL they would not lose by the same margin and the younger players would be greatly improved
We are in that transition, and if we can beat the champ clubs will be better prepared for the one off game to decide promotion

I agree.

Your original post on this thread, I believe, was aimed at Wakefield, not Salford. Who I dare say will be still spending alot more than Wakey. However I guess this will be forgotten about again if Leigh win.
