Ours is stuck at the same number. We're essentially paying players less these days.'"
American sports also have a minimum salary that players should be paid, as well as various exceptions to the cap where a team can actually be 19 Million over the cap, but not penalised. |

We're not lucky to be in SL, we earned our spot and with a team filled with as much home grown talent as any other now in SL.
Good luck for the rest of the season.'"
to wigan fans every other teams achievements are down to luck... |

He doesn’t speak on behalf of all Wigan fans. Thanks for coming. |

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

And to the rest of SL, Wigan's achievements are down to cheating, thuggery, etc. |

I don't deny that the sport in the UK is not in great shape, although I think fears of it going semi-pro in the foreseeable future are over-stated. But we should let Wigan's current travails bleed too much into our view of SL as a whole. To those who say, the standard of SL is plummeting, I generally respond, if that we true, the Aussies would be putting 50-60 on us every game, but in fact we're arguably as competitive against them now as we were in the 'good old days'. to which the response is, but that's only the case because of the NRL experience in the England side. At any rate, there are enough good players kicking around SL to provide some great entertainment, as we see on TV every week. Just not at the DW at the moment.
