There is a perception amongst chairmen that increasing the cap by 1-1.5m wouldnt lead to squads which are 1-1.5m better, but simply the same squads with inflated wages. Which is bad (apparently).

It all comes back to the perception the sport has that it wants a situation where literally any club can win. Until that is removed they will continue to find ever creative ways around letting the top spend more as ineffectively as possible and claiming it’s progress whilst keeping things as depressed as possible for the clubs simple not willing or able to spend the money to be competitive.

Don’t be silly that wouldn’t be fair on teams like Cas and Wakefield who have consistently been poor regardless to the cap
