I thought I heard salary cap was going to be circa £1m in championship and the same £1.8m in super league as now, all funded by sky in the stupid new tv contract.

Our young players aren't that good I'm afraid to say, they aren't all going to get snapped up by super league teams. Dixon should get a deal somewhere else but I don't think many clubs would take a chance with any of the other backs. That said Bishay and Macani could improve under better coaches. Krasnique and Dollapi may get signed by the likes of Wakey if they survive but I think we have a good chance of retaining a lot of the English youngsters in our squad next year.
The problem could arise with only being allowed one quota player in the championship, that would harm us if they don't change that rule in time for our arrival.

No, the majority will be on their way even as squad players. We will start from scratch again and won't be paying the same amounts of cash. The northern knuckle draggers will be out in force claiming RL doesn't work outside their bus route. But they'll tell us how well the London player they picked up is doing. Are the dark ages on the horizon?

It appears Division Two, whatever they call it does not have a flat salary cap. The salary cap increases as the clubs income increases. To spend £1m, the maximum, you need to bring in about £2.5m. Quite how this system tallies with a groundshare that sees the landlord bank all match day revenue is likely to cause a few conversations between the club and RFL if Broncos are expecting to be here next season.

Is that the current rule or next seasons rule?

That starts in 2015. Championship salary cap for 2014 is 300k from memory. It`s certainly substantially smaller than the bigger teams will be permitted to run in 2015.

Edited to say one point not mentioned to date is the potential loss of players to southern RU as well as the M62. It`s not much of a secret a few of the current squad were looking in that direction when it was far from clear they had an employer for 2014.

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.

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".

I assume Grima means by not 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...
