Why bring politics into it?

Also proves that just because you are spending a lot of money on building a team doesn't always pay off.

It is also about doing the above wisely, and having good people alongside you, who may be more savvy about the sport and its players to advise you, on not just what player you need, but what type, and their attitude.

One other point I would make, going from past experiences, would be that some clubs, Chairmen and CEO's, manipulate, the cap, within the rules, to gain optimum advantage from it. I have said before that, you do, or did, get benefits from the RFL on this, such as acccreditations for having players from your academy being in the England Knights squad, payer retention for, I think something like 10 years. I heard of players having clauses in their contract, such as number of games played, points scored, games won etc, which could give players more incentive to stay.

I was advised of one club, that did this a lot, and have been very successful over the Super League era, without too many wholesale changes within their squad

Because I wanted to make a topical analogy; did it hurt your feelings?

Did no clubs go bust under Labour? Is that what you are suggesting?

Or that Koucash and Beaumont are Tories or reckless capitalists?

Both of those run businesses that employ many many people. I doubt they have done what they have done on a whim, without thought for the consequences.

And please don’t try to belittle other people and justify your posts by asking “did I hurt your feelings?”. It just makes you look like a childish .

Agreed no need
Why not just stick to RL debate

Mason Caton-Brown’s future close to being resolved. Won’t be heading to Hull KR though - believe he’s destined to move slightly further afield..

Salford? London? Catalans? Toronto?

Massive overreaction alert - you have failed to respond to the main thrust of my RL related post, and focused instead on a throwaway, tongue in cheek political analogy; your call like, but it does suggest a certain frailty.

No need to bring politics in there Bren, none whatsoever.

Jesus H Christ - has this place become a designated safe space?!

If you don't like the analogy - ignore it - I shan't be offended.

But why have a pop in the first place bren, like all liberals you feel the need to tell everyone how wrong they are.

So for clarity - the only acceptable language on this forum now, is completely bland, neutral in every way, and we shouldn't use analogies, metaphors or any other linguistic flourish, for fear of offending someone - even Boris Johnson, who I'm sure will report me to Poptart the minute he reads my post?

Typical right wing snowflakes, always looking for something to be offended by.
