Always been a fan of no relegation, next step is the feeder club system in my opinion.

2 massive errors with the cap in my opinion are limiting it to a set ammount rather than linking it to turnover and also failing to reward teams for having Academy produced players in the first team and also for failing to reward teams who have players produced from the Academy that become International players.

agreed but you can only beat what is in front of you, if we lose next week then to most wed of been awful but i dont care now if were average in the play offs if we win and i dont think if wigan were crap and got to the gf youd be bothered

Agree mate, a win is a win, but the way some are going on you were superb tonight, in my opinion you were average beating a poor side on the day, you are capable and have been much better this season without the hype surronding what was in my opinion a very below par Wakefield performance.

it was scrappy we dropped ball and i think we can play better.the play offs will be pressure i think leeds will get there then the other spot could be anybodys, if we can perform who knows we can score points.

Been there before,open to abuse,does not work and causes an imbalence.
As for your points re Academy could'nt agree more also need to look at the whole system underneath the elite comp re Reserve Grade and Acadamy.

Imbalance? Is that so wrong if all teams are striving to maximise there turnover, surely it can only be good for the game.

It is only open to abuse with the garbage administration at Red Hall.

Or certain clubs persistently doing there sums wrong !!

Wigan
Saints
Wakefield
Castleford
Bradford

?

Exactly,that's why it don't work.

We have never had a cap that is connected directly to turnover, we have had a cap that limits spend regards turnover but does not reward it, and now we have a cap that allows clubs to spend full cap regardless of turnover.

I am not sure highlighting the failings of a set cap enhances your support of it?!

We had a system that allowed a percentage of the clubs turnover to be spent directly on players salarys.
That system clearly did not work.
This system as a clearly defined cap.
At present we as a club do not use the maximum because clearly we do not generate the turnover at present to furnish it.
Wigan as a club can generate the revenue to use all the cap, good on youse.
If in the future,new stadium extra revenue we can use the full cap so be it.
The franchise system within the game also ensure's that clubs do not live beyond their means (allowing for some expansion clubs).

If we had a 50% revenue system Wigan would not be at the front of the queue.

What it would mean is all clubs would strive to grow and there would be no comfort zone, the current system of the cap allows for poor working practice and lack of inovation to be rewarded.

Yet "Leeds or Saints will win the GF" quote.

Your above statement sounds like it's some goverment propaganda bull....

Of course every clubs striving for success. There's been and will never be no comfort zone @ Wakey.
Good nite/interesting views.

There is always a comfort zone with rules that encourage a level playing field rather than innovation and growth.

Lets not also forget when we got 30 points in '04 there was more games in SL, we played the bottom teams 3 times and we'd also lost more games that season then this season........

Class of '09 Well done!!!
