Clubs have voted, no cap or quota dispensations, can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I imagine at the least this puts us out of the running for any players.

It is a good thing in the fact that it doesn't bring the equality of the sport into question, as it would have been unfair to let some clubs break the salary cap outside of the rules. If we are to have a salary cap, it should at least be adhered to by all.

But it could be a bad thing if it comes to Salford banking on these sales to stay afloat and there is essentially not enough teams with both appetite and salary cap space to achieve this. Hopefully this doesn't even become a factor and the reported investment comes off in time. We must surely be running out of time for that though with how this has all played out.
