Just out of interest is it true again that there is scope for teams to have an extended salary cap in this league if its proven they can afford it?

If anyone should be worried about 2015 it is Fax and Fev. You would expect Leigh. London and Bradford to be 3 of the top 4. One of them is going to find themselves playing in the bottom 8 with nothing to play for (other than the losers shield and avoiding relegation to oblivion) in front of sub-1000 crowds and a meagre payout for 2016 for their troubles. A world of difference between 4th and 5th next year!

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

I assume you mean 2016 as we know what our funding is next season |

| Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "I think on evidence this season the new Bradford regime must have done a great job managing their money given they probably pay their squad only a little more than what Leigh have spent but have still managed to compete at times with teams spending close to 3 times what they have. History says that both teams have a very bad record when it comes to managing finances so really should not be taken in to account.
You are right about the new faces thing though which is one area Leigh could get a start on them but by the time the middle 8 comes around it will probably have little bearing and given both teams will have their squads just about sorted by this October it could have less relevance than it may normally have.
London are just a weird entity altogether as you say they wont get the crowds but that hasnt stopped them over performing for many years in SL but it has helped having a guy throwing money at them helping them stay afloat. If the money dries up they will go out of business so if they dont get results straight away then they could simply tumble leaving a space in the top 2 open for Leigh and a space in the top 4 for either Dewsbury or Fax.'"
Whilst we are looking at 'history', it could well transpire that Bradford, and/or London will have gone bust again by the time of the 'middle 8', in their desperation to get into that group!!  |

| Like Maurice (Neil) said, not worried at all...can't wait for 2015....thanks ever so much the Leigh board/players/coaching staff/sponsors.
London are assembling a better side (imo) than this season, but the majority of our players have been performing superbly for 12 months !!!!
London will be a NEW side, though Bradford should do OK. Though I must confess to not having a crystal ball.  |

Crikey, I'm more concerned that we can actually finish THIS season injury free and have a good old crack at the Play off's!

Way way too early to be predicting anything for next season. I think London, Leigh and Bradford have to get a few matches under their belt before hailing their top three finishing places!! You're sounding like Wigan fans already!!
Chip off the old block .....  |

London will take a few by surprise next year. It can be a tough place to go and play, their new home is brilliant and whilst few in numbers they have some of the loudest supporters in the game.
I can see some part time players struggling with the journey. However I'm not complaining, we need the first phase of the season to be as tough as possible in order to make any impact in the qualifiers.

From this taken from New Era RFL Site
The new structure allows for that increased investment and sees the best performing Championship clubs receive up to £750,000 per season from 2015, which will enable them to recruit a competitive squad and invest in the player development pathways needed to achieve sustained success. The top Championship clubs will also receive funding increases at the end of 2014.
I would expect the championship funding to be something like this for 2016
1) 750k
2) 600k
3) 500k
4) 450k

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh.  [/quote:1xb0p6sn]
[quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg |

With funding being decided by position within the Qualifying 8 it really makes every match in that group massive. Even if we don't make the promotion spots (which i'm confident we could) we need to finish as high as possible.
It would be devastating if we ran away with the 23 game league like this year but then a poor 7 games could see the team who finish 4th receive significantly more money if they pull off a couple of shocks.
I expect the top spots to be a lot closer next season but other than finishing in the top 2 for an extra home advantage it really is all decided in those 7 matches. Going to be exciting!!

Why would he? Its a stupid bet, now if the bet was saying Fax would finish above Dewsbury it would be a lot more interesting but you have 1 team spending close to a million pound against a team spending 300K, saying that did you help the RL come up with the new system?

London shouldnt surprise anyone given the quality of players they are signing, infact I would go so far to say they would have done a whole lot better this season if they had signed these players for this year. |
