Ken davy says we are punching above our weight because the salary cap rules mean the likes of wigan and leeds have more money at their disposal..

but i thought it was a level playing field with us spending upto the cap just like leeds and wigan do...

or does he mean off the field they can spend more money for marketing etc

More like the latter although marketing is the least of it. We can spend the same on players- but they have do much more to spend in terms of support- staff, training facilities, equipment etc etc

Maybe we are - maybe last year showed that we haven't got the quality as a whole club to be up there challenging yet, saying that we're there again so who knows.

You're forgetting wives and significant others

More to do with the fan base, more fans more money

but you cant spend that on the team, we are spending upto the cap already.

unless like some have said you pay the wives...

we are not spending the full cap

not this season no because odonnell has left and we had some spare but couldnt get a half back pre season.

but the intention was to spend upto the cap like all the other previous seasons recently

we didnt spend full cap last year .also 5 internations have gone in the last 6 months compair with whos come in plus no secound team or what ever you wont to call it a bit more sky money as bradfords not getting any

yes the internationals gone but the younger players on improved long term contracts.. mcgillvary/lawrence/cudjoe etc

the young players signrd long term contracts in bruno case 2 years ago we are no where near full cap this year

indeed money to spare this season... no odonnell and no new half back pre season

dwyer has come in so abit spent there..

whether ken davy wants to spend anymore only time will tell.. its available i feel if the right player comes along.

No money to spare as i said before what we havent used in wages will have gone to pay for other costs to take the pressure off Ken.

And we will get dispensations on the cap for players like Crabtree, Cudjoe, etc.

However what some people can't seem to grasp is that this doesn't mean we have "money spare". It just means we aren't spending money we don't have. I didn't buy a Bugatti Veyron yesterday. It doesn't mean I have a million quid spare.
