| The main problem for me, with any breakaway would have to be retention of the salary cap plus funding of the lower leagues. You cannot compare RL with Union or The Premier League imo. Union is funding the lower leagues to the point where many minor clubs have tremendous facilities, with not only Sky money which beggars our meagre allotment, due to poor negotions admittedly, but also from their tremendous international programme, this is the only thing I'm envious of with Kick and Clap. The only time, as far as I'm aware, Championship clubs are funded by Premier League is when they fall from grace? Champoonship funding comes from seperately negotiated deals by The Football League.
If the salary cap were to go from Super League, the obvious would happen, ie the richest clubs would buy titles and cups in the same way, as previously stated, Maurice Lindsey did at Wigan, which would inevitably mean clubs going to the wall due to over expenditure, in the chase to keep up. We've been down that road already. Do you think Whinos and Hudds would be where they are in the table, without the salary cap. It is the very leveller, it was intended to be. Breakaway? Yes but a level headed approach is necessary. Not Marwan and his millions leading the title rush.

I don't think its a joke, Leeds apart, lol . On the contrary, I think the unpredictability of the results because the sides are better matched is what is making Super League more enjoyable this season.

A total joke?! Because the salary cap is doing its job? Because Wigan are no longer a guaranteed top 4 finisher (although they will still finish in the top 4 this year)? I really don't understand why you think the league is a joke?
It's made it much more interesting.

Completely agree, I just don't get it anymore, the way the press/tv hypes up games , man utd vs Chelsea, expecting a thriller. often ends in a 0-0 bore draw, won me some cash though, that's all its good for these days, a bit of gamble. And watching the city fans after after the game Tuesday was just embarrassing , city of culture 2017!!!! Euros this summer I have completely no interest in, same as the England players. Last England game I watched was wc in south Africa, a complete joke of overpaid, overrated asssholes. Give me a amateur RL game any day over that shiitte

Exactly the point I made earlier, the salary cap is doing it's intended task. Short sightedness on some teams parts by not going with Academies and Under 23's. Spend your money on a few decent players but knackered when out through injury. With Brown missing Widnes are a shadow of the team that slugged us.
