I wish it was all a bit clearer but, increasingly, it seems that all the talk of narrowing the gap between the bottom of SL and the top of the Championship is mostly hot air. I guess we'll lose a few.

Quote BroncOnIon="BroncOnIon"Some salary cap info here: www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... ampionship'" Aston is spot on. Fans should stop deluding themselves with statements like ''when we go down we can regroup and rebuild from the bottom''??? We will stay on the bottom if our benefactor continues with us (which i doubt) until the fans realise P&R is in reality a fantasy and don't bother with these 'playoff' games farces and sky refuse to show the blow out matches in empty stadiums.

Agreed.

The RFL look like they are paying lip service to P+R.

The season after our parachute payment, I can't see us turning over more than the expansion clubs in C1.

The players will go where they can get the best deal. DH consigned the team to relegation with his procrastination so effectively everyone is on a one year contract.

Joe Grima: "If he(Caton-Brown) plays like that every week it will be hard to hold on to him.
But we will fight tooth and now to keep him. I would like to think we can hold on to a lot of these guys".

Perhaps he can explain how to the rest of us!?

I assume Grima means by [unot[/u getting relegated.

Thanks for the link, Aston is very right.
We can't expect freebies forever from the rfl and the way the club has been managed they don't deserve a place in super league.
The game down here can survive without us in the super league and it's unlikely that after going down we will go straight back up as that mini league at the end of the season is biased towards the sl clubs.
Hopefully we keep producing more talent down here and they choose to stay with us as we should be quite successful in the championship, but as was mentioned before, these players are humans after all and will go somewhere with a better offer and you can't blame them for that.

The answer is no to the question.
Wallace is a below par prop who is only playing because Rea wouldn't contract
Mooney or Cox, who were the next crop of props .,apparently due to budget restrictions.Who were considered the best of the academy league props.Wallace is still on an academy contract so is of no cost to the first team.(feel sorry for him)
Shaun Keen was the future hooker coached for the role, he's gone to union..(you work it out).
Joe Keyes should take an offer if a full time contract, may stay if a northern club doesn't come on for him.
As for Erjon,Olsie etc they'll do well to go.
Mike M is the pick of the bunch I dare say Saints will snatch him.
Mason will go as will Dixon.
So...

Are you related to Cox or Mooney??

No just a keen supporter who has watched the academy for the past 5 years. I forgot to mention Macani who will no doubt be snapped up. Just don't forget the club ditched off the next crop. Druce,mooney,cox,keen,little etc. Is that better?
The above mentioned was just an example.
I could go on but what is to be gained?
Or would you rather a rose colour tint to it all?
