Quote: Father Ted "The thing about the Roosters is they played a squad that no Super League club could afford to come close to in quality. Sonny Bill alone is more than a SL club could afford if they were to have a quality side.
No use talking about the expansion of the WCC unless and until the disparity in salary cap is addressed and narrowed.
If it were expanded and their SC increased at the same rate as their central funding whilst our remained static at £1.8m then yesterday's 36-14 defeat would seem like a close run thing.
Whether our SC will rise when we get to the 8 team Super League next year I don't know. If Hetherington etc wants to expand the WCC then they have to at least double our SC to have any hope at all of our clubs competing with the top NRL clubs.'"
Difficult to disagree with what you say to expand the WCC at this stage is pointless and to be honest i don't see the cap being increased significantly due to the dire state of the finances and the club owners show no desire including our own.
