Im sick to death of hearing people moaning about "oooohh we cant raise the salary cap, its not fair on clubs like Wakefield"
B0llocks to them! That's there problem, its never done Premier League football any harm. In order to have big sponsors, big TV deals and bigger attendances we NEED the biggest names playing over here. The only way to do that is to raise the cap or scrap it all together. We are being held back by the smaller clubs and it needs to stop if we want to grow the game. Fair play to Toronto, im made up with what they are doing and hopefully others follow suit.

Every single club in SL would be screwed if their owner pulled out.

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss":x0ydpd32I always wonder if the salary cap has put off more guys like Simon Moran, Koukash etc coming in. They’re guys with the finances to go around signing up big money players but if you can’t do it because of a salary cap what’s the point? Moran has shelled out for the two he’s allowed at Wire in Austin and Widdop but if he were allowed to sign more under the cap I’m sure he would.
The smaller clubs will always talk of an uneven comp, if big money backers come in to certain clubs but we’ve had a salary cap for years now and we’ve still only had the traditional big four clubs win the super league.
The marquee rule has helped but you do wonder what would happen if they went further. On the upside for the league the signings across the board for 2020 look exciting and it does feel like the tides turned a little bit when it comes to feeling like you’re watching a second rate product.'" ” when we discuss the eradication of the salary cap, the longer the sport is held back. Standards have declined since dramatically in the past 10yrs as have the crowds. We’re in serious danger of becoming completely irrelevant and a forgotten about sport. It’s time we changed the tide and made the sport more appealing to major sponsors and investors. |

| Quote 100% Warrior="100% Warrior"Someone else has posted exactly what I’d say - b0ll0cks to the smaller clubs who can’t/won’t try to increase revenue. The longer the RFL and fans sit back and go “ohh but what about Batley/Rochdale/Wakefield [insert whoever you wish” when we discuss the eradication of the salary cap, the longer the sport is held back. Standards have declined since dramatically in the past 10yrs as have the crowds. We’re in serious danger of becoming completely irrelevant and a forgotten about sport.

Good post; you're right. Change is most definitely needed; now we look to Toronto to lead the way. |

By all means, that the game of the ground in Canada and the USA, but to have Toronto Wolfpack in our game is a big risk which could end up in a big embarrassment for the RFL, especially with them playing games in batches of home and away fixtures.
It is so easy to pull the plug!

It is a gamble, no two ways about it but equally the rewards if (and I think the size of that if has decreased dramatically) it pays off. The sport is on its knees mate. This [ucould[/u drag it up standing again over time |

What Toronto are doing is quietening down the flat cappers and should inspire other SL clubs to take a similar approach or develop better marketing. Toronto have the advantage of still being a relatively new sport in the city and country so intrigue will always be a huge winner on their part.
All I hope is that the AMNRL sides start to pick up some interest and develop further. I don’t mind Toronto in SL at all, I’m a huge backer of it but the long term goal must be to have a full time professional North American League so that clubs like Toronto, Ottawa, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Jacksonville can properly grow the game over there and the game can grow as a whole with a new league and market for players and fans. |
