| And there i am sticking up for my club then they play a trump card like that. A multi million pound sports team make a decision like that. Idiots. Well done Warriors for making everybody hate us even more when what we need more than anything at the moment is across the board solidarity from all clubs.
I think i can speak on behalf of most Warriors fans here by saying to opposing fans that this decision is not one we agree on so please don't bag us for a decision the club has made.

| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"As if by magic.....
'"
Nothing better than calling someone a halfwhit because they have a different opinion to yourself.
ATEOTD Cas have killed the British game imo. Don't be surprised at a lack of sympathy from people who want to see the game progress, want to see players getting more money and want to see money being spent.
Cas winning a legal battle brings zero long term benefits. It just maintains the sports slow decline into oblivion. If they lose however the only realistic option is to pay players more so that they don't leave. Only way that can happen is via the abolition of the cap.... that makes it a hell of a lot more interesting and possibly a retun to keeping players are the club as well as top signings as well.
Call me a halfwit though....

And how do you propose to pay there players more money, when they are losing money from all angles? How can the game afford to raise the salary cap?
Look at these, from two of our "better run" clubs"

3rd party sponsorship would be one option. Rich businesses/businessmen that can't or don't want to run a club, but want to be around the sport. Other stuff like like free cars via sponsorship deals with local dealers. That's just two ideas after 2 mins of thinking.
What do you suggest? I think it's quite obvious we that we seem to be in a period of mass player migration to the NRL. We can pretend that they've gone for a "challenge' when we know it's mostly for the cash. The NRL is the top comp, but it was 10/15 years as well and we didn't see this level of movement. What's changed apart from the £s on offer?

We've 'killed the British game' by attempting to hold onto the record-breaking try scorer and keep him in the game? By not accepting a broken contract? Don't be a silly bugger. Don't see any other Cas player complaining.

If you cared about keeping him in the game you'd have sold him to Wire. He'd then still be in the game as you put it and getting paid his worth.
Let's not beat around the bush, he's coming off a record breaking season and that's pushed his value up above and beyond his current deal. If you wanted to keep him then match the offer Wire gave on his wages. If you couldn't do that then sell him.
You wanted your cake and you wanted to eat it as well. Is it any wonder he ran off to RU? I'd kind of say he pushed by Cas trying looking out for no one but thier own self interests. Don't make out it's a noble cause for the good of the game as it's a situation created from your own greed.
Maybe instead follow what the champs do and let guys go with the clubs blessing. If we cant match offers or opportunities then we let them go. Makes sense for the club AND player whilst also avoiding nasty situations like this.

Some reality at last. Most people who scream raise the cap don't realise that money doesn't just appear out of thin air.
You can raise the cap as much as you want. Salaries won't go up if clubs do not receive any extra revenue.
Until the game creates more revenue streams salaries will stay the same.
