Ah dont know why we are getting worked up everyone outside the SL
know the RL is a dodgy organisation the SL clubs dont give a hoot about anyone apart from themselves they just want all the Murd dosh themselves
and pass peanuts down when the money from sky runs out the bizz will hit the fan and clubs at the top will all go bust and RL will be in a bigger mess than it is now.....

If you vote something in, how can you then sue?

Easy. We have double standards. We were too arrogant to ever believe it would affect us. Now that it has, we want the rules changing to suit us. What's wrong with that?

Passed me A level if that's what you mean!

Rugby Union and American sports also run a salary cap I am 100% sure if was ilegal then it would of been dealt with by now!

I'd hazard a guess that a 'few' loopholes will exist (we are talking RFL here ) if indeed a actual 'vote' did take place.

Minimum wage would skittle the £150k wouldnt it

£25 players on £6k pa

You won't be full time remember.

Because they were possibly forced into it in the first place. Remember the franchises? You could only apply for a franchise if you agreed not to take legal action if you thought the final decision was unjust, and guess what....it was....its almost as though they had already made the decision and knew exactly how the teams and most of the media would react.

I think corrupt is the best word to describe the RFL/SL

I think the Toulouse non-relegation issue also was part of the franchise thingy. Apply for a franchise but agree that the frogs are exempt from relegation

I am not personally arguing about the legality. You say it is not a restraint of trade. Of course it is - if you wanted to buy my house but I was not permitted to sell it to you below 2 million quid, it would be restricting the trade - yes you might find someone silly enough to pay that amount, but chances are it would be very restrictive. In the same way, capping what we are allowed to pay players will limit our ability to attract the best, and the players will be restricted from earning what they are worth....although some players will still join us..

Not the best analogy but hopefully the point is there..

OK all you Leythers....

Get yer head in the real world

You may have Arthur sat on a few bob burning a hole in his ar$e pocket and you may also have a womderful ground which is a credit to the club and town.

However, there IS a salary cap of 150K in CC1. These are the RFL rules whether you like them or not.

You knew there was a 150k salary cap at the time Paul, Bibey, Duffy, Hartley etc contracts were being negotiated.
You got relegated again knowing the Toulose rules.
You entered into contracts with players knowing the risks
You make your bed, you lie in it.

Why should the rules be bent around you?

I think a lot of your fans are adopting the same arrogant attitude as your board, thinking you are a SL club when you're clearly not.

Take your relegation gracefully, take the year in CC1 as a year to rebuild, bring in some kids, build up the fan base on the back of inevitable promotion and go for SL in 2011.

In other words stop whinging and bl00dy get on with it.......

You've suddenly decided to join because of this, I don't think so. Wonder who you really are.

Why should the rules be bent for anyone FULL STOP

Rugby League is supposed to be a sport, tell you what lets make it OK for the likes of Gateshead and Toulouse to take performance enhancing drugs too.

In short if a business wants to move forward and can afford to buy the best then they should not be RESTRICTED in doing so

we seems to have a lot of new members recently and ip's dont match anyone else.
maybe we ARE getting some new fans
