Quote: Father Ted "They will think about it if he offers to double their salaries.
I've no doubt he'll bust the £1.8m salary cap in getting what he wants and good luck to him.
I'm sure he'll do it within the rules of the cap but circumventing it if your determined to do so and have the money will be very easy.'"
If it were that easy we'd be seeing top Aussies signing for the likes of Wire if they are prepared to get around the cap as is suggested they are. Koukash would be able to bid for who he liked with enough money to temp them.
Koukash seemingly has deep pockets but I don't think other clubs including Wire and Wigan want to spend much more than they are. Wire may be able to offer the odd fringe benefit as it was rumoured they did for Ratchford but large amounts of extra cash? Not sure that is on the table.
Quote: Father Ted "It would shake the rest up if in two or three years he declared he was spending £4m or so on players salaries, all within the SC rules.
Good Luck to the man!'"
I think the SL clubs and the RFL are stupid to not consider changes to the cap beyond the minor tweaking that has occurred recently. If they want a salary cap at all they need to keep people like Koukash on-side because if he just goes and breaks it and it end up in court that is the last place they want to be.
