Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"There is one consideration: I reckon our crowds are down a thousand on last year. With admission and spends at the ground, that will be around £20,000 per home game. Over the year, that would be £260,000.
As a business, the club has got to balance the books, and we do not want any salary cap infringements to hamper the next franchise bid, on the chance that the ground is delayed (not sure the RFL will buy a third "we've got a new ground on the way" application).
He's a great player, but we did okay without him earlier on, and we'll do okay without him later on. Solomona is a great player, and still is, but we have bettered our league position each year without him. One player does not make a team, and can sometimes weaken it, as a playmaker on an off-day can lose a game, as there is no other go-to man.'"
That shouldn't be an issue though as the salary cap limit is now a fixed limit regardless of your income, and we are nowhere near it I don't think.
Not saying that we don't have books to balance but Salary Cap can't (shouldn't) be the issue.
