So the Salary Cap has stopped clubs going bust and increased the number of teams likely to win trophies?

way round it would be let clubs spend over salary cap as long as less than 50 percent of turnover on players wages BUT.....every penny spent over the cap they put an equivalent amount into a central fund that all teams that spend under the cap get an equal share off.....That way the weaker teams are not holding the successful back and dumbing down the whole league as a result.

I am suggesting that we actually get some personalities brought into the game for publicity, bums on seats and column inches. This will also boost sponsorship, tv ratings and deals. If the good doctor wants to pay Greg Inglis or Chris Ashton (I don't know many Union players but you get the gist) top dollar to bump start his Salford revolution, why shouldn't he?

I agree but fundamentally there has to be some form of salery cap. Like the idea of a central pot. But to do away with it would be suicide! Gotta think more long term than short term with it

It's a good job you didn't sign him....You would only have lost him to warrington 12 months later anyway.

Unfortunately, the good Dr is coming over like an RL version of Venkys.
And look what happened to B'Burn Rovers.

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple? "unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened "I'm done. Brown out. If LMS, Turner or Walker get in any match day squad i will not be attending from now on in." LFC Saint:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41943.jpg



Sam has just phoned Dr flash the cash Koukas to say I have just seen how well you are doing against the Broncos so where do i sign?

A ? If the Dr deemed his bid for Sam genuine but failed to say anything about Chase or Morley. Were they not serious bids? joke bids?

Presumably just not seen as quite as insane as trying for Tomkins as another SL team. Though as far as I am aware the same can be said for Chase, thought he was stuck in Cas if he wants to play in the UK? Morley is a good shout though, and I'd be wary of them going for Hansen.

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post. However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced. . Saint94 wrote "Every team is in your feckin shadow....we all know." - Amen to that, brother . Saddened! wrote "We've got the worst backline in the competition, bar possibly London and Wakey. I'd swap our 1-7 with Salford in a heartbeat.":123.jpg



Quote: Bovrick "I'd be wary of them going for Hansen.'"


Doesn't matter, for 2 reasons:

1. We don't need any amount of money (i.e. We have no financial troubles).

2. Even if the club accepted a bid, the player himself would have to WANT to move. They can't just sell a player because they feel like it.
(And if the player wants to go then sod 'em. Don't want anyone here who isn't committed),

Quote: Cruncher "

One thing that does impress me with Salford is the presence of Graham Lowe. Not sure how effective a coach he'd be these days given his health issues, but Lowey is one guy who knows what he's talking about.'"


Coaching is not about how physically fit you are, it's about how you get across your ideas/plans, and as long as you can comunicate then i'd say you can still coach..so i would think Lowe can still cut it.

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM'' He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue] .... [quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]:



Quote: P-J "He's coming in, selling their best players and pocketing the cash?'"



Venky's did much more than that. For the good Dr to get any where near to them he needs to appoint a novice, get rid of all the players and let an agency run the club, allowing them to sign their players and get rid of all those who were not willing to let the new agency negotiate a new contract for them! And much, much, MUCH more. (i wont go into all that because we would be here for weeks!)
