Sour grapes! Everybody is in the same boat if they have they several top players out at the same time.

Utter b0llocks! If players get injured then you use your squad players and your talented youngsters. The SC should be changed but not for these reasons!!

If you don't want injury problems then don't build your squad around 30 year olds. Surely they spend more time out than younger players on average.

Spot on. You increase your chances of getting injuries by having so many old players.

They're right to call for a review of the Salary Cap, but sadly these are not the reasons.

Well if a player is out for the whole season i have no problems with that player being unregistered and another coming in.

Whats the point of a cap where you can bring players in when one is injured, if anything this would encourage clubs to have a smaller squad with higher paid/prifile player safe in the knowledge that if they get injured you can get someone else in

No sympathy what so ever for Hull. They sign a 33 year old and a 32 year old in the off season and expect peak fitness? It's not going to happen!

The only way the salary cap should be changed is with regards to rewarding clubs who promote talent from within their own club, not signing more players because of bad luck with injuries.

No clubs were calling for such a change when we were crippled with injuries, copping thumpings at Leeds & Saints and on the verge of relegation.

Didn't Maurice call for something similar in '05 when we had all those injuries?

i agree if a player is rules out for a big percentage of the year his wage should not be counted on the cap. Enabling them to bring in long term cover

IIRC (not sure if it was '05 though) - Didn't we de-register Locky when he was out for most of a season?

Like I said. Not 100% on the player, but I'm certain that we have de-registered someone in the past.

However. Since then, the rules have changed so that if a player plays even a single game for you, his ENTIRE salary counts on the SC (to avoid coaches playing for "odd" games or "certain" star Aussies coming over, playing for 2 weeks and taking a shed-load of cash).

So basically, if a player has played even 1 match, there is nothing you can do.

All I can can say is tough shït.
Cultivate your academy and stop bitching.
