With the dark side rumoured to be sniffing around SuperLeague, do you guys think we need a salary cap increase to try and keep our top young lads in Super League?

The SC is only part of the problem. The main issue is the failure by the RFL and clubs to manage the game properly and achieve financial stability - we must have growth if the game is to prosper, but we haven't even got a position where clubs are stable and secure in their finances. Football can afford the odd club to go bust, it's a massive game. RL can't afford to carry on with club after club getting into serious difficulties.

RL clubs are going backwards in real terms. The SC discourages growth but is only part of a general malaise in RL, evidenced by pathetic envy from fans that players can earn £100k a year for playing RL (when many footballers earn that for a week's work!) and a desire to dumb down standards to prevent small, failing clubs being left behind (though that's happened anyway, the smallest club to win SL is St Helens!) in some ridiculous quest for a level playing field....

I don't think that simply raising the cap will make much difference. Teams are operating at a loss just to reach it at it's current level so raising it will only make a difference to the teams that can spend beyond the current £1.6m wage cap. There can't be more than 3-4 teams in SL that are in a position to do that
