If they could get the amounts sorted I think that would be a good idea

1 idea would be for a player who comes up through a clubs academy set up, to say have say 20% of their salary excluded from the cap for the 1st 5 years that they are a 1st team squad member. Then say between 5 and 10 years at the club, they get 35% of their salary excluded from the cap, and then 10 years plus 50% of their salary excluded.
This would then encourage clubs to not only be pro active in developing their own players, but to also keep hold of the players they produce long term, and it would probably have the effect of reducing foreign players without the clubs being forced to cut foreigners and then look for loopholes to still bring them over.

Yes he was. Sam Tomkins agent is the same as Chris Ashtons.

Oh great

So 8 pages and still no idea if there is any truth in this??

It looks like Sam is now a regular first team player a Wigan Be good to see him get 80 tomorrow EVENING.

Since when have facts got in the way of an opportunity for yet another embarrassing salary cap rant on this board?

See mt post on previous page

What embarassing salary cap rant?

They werent last Sunday, I was there, And they reacted terribly to the Good Hiding they got!

Maybe it was the Leeds UTD element? Maybe it was because they didn't like getting a good hiding on a World Wide Stage but there were fights galore (I saw 4!).
My Eldest was verbally abused in the Toilets at half time (He's 10 and the bloke was mid/late 30's) by a Leeds Fan because he was wearing his Manly Shirt!
He was with his older cousin who gave this bloke some stick back though!

They are certainly Fast becoming the Paralell of the Saints fans and before anyone else says it some of the Wigan fans of the 80's & 90's!

Unfortunately, when a team 'becomes good', their crowd increases because lots of hangers-on want to bask in the spotlight. While on one hand this is a good thing because it means an attenance improvement, on the other it also means there'll be a lot more dick'eds knocking around. Wigan certainly had this problem in the 90s, Saints have had it on and off (but only in cup finals, LOL), and Leeds have it now. In fact, Leeds are the best example I've seen of it in RL. During their last two visits to the JJB, I've seen incidents of sporadic violence, which is something I never used to associate with their club, and all caused by brainless tw0ts who looked like they'd walked straight out of The Football Factory.
