Quote: knocker norton "Jake has a fair point regards no team been stacked full of A grade stars, how can they be with the Salary Cap in place?
Look at the Hudds team and they have a number of players who could be classed as 'middle of the road' but as a team they are potential challengers.'"
Indeed he does have a point. Every team has to have the "solid" performers rather than 17 superstars, becuase of the cap.
But as BP1 says, we probably only have 3 players that would "walk" into any other side, and a few top youngsters who are more about potential than anything else at the moment. I would say that Wigan/Wire/Saints/Hudds have a lot more than 3 that would walk into our side, and I think their "middle of the road" players are better than our "middle of the road" too!
In summary, we have a decent side, but not top 4. I think people need to be realistic!
