This isn't what I imagined it would be, and we're opposing it. Can't see that it would affect us anyway www.totalrl.com/?p=2750948

ken davey makes some valid points

its a no for me regardless if we can afford it, it will go back to them who have and them who dont!

Interesting that the dobbins have changed sides...............

I sort of get the sentiment to retain players like Tomkins in Super League. But just not sure how many players/clubs it impacts.

How many of their homegrown players earn more than £100k? I don't think any of their 1-17 squad numbers are homegrown. Krissy Welham?

No but with their new benefactor they could have 3 world class players and "only" spend £450k

Oh yeah. Didn't read that bit properly.

Hard to argue with Ken Davy's points. Stupid idea being introduced at exactly the wrong time to suit one or two rich loudmouths.

No doubt it will pass easily.

Sorry, might not be reading it properly, but how could they have 3? surely its only 1 player whos on not home grown, on say 400k and only 150k would count on cap

Maybe I'm reading it wrong. I saw a reference to non homegrown players and presumed it meant multiples of players but it's probably just meaning 1 per club

The main item on the agenda will be the issue of marquee players

Think that's the confusing sentence, referring to players. Think it must mean , home grown or overseas. If it is for just one player, I'm all for it. Multiple players and its got disaster all over it

Just smacks to me of the RFL panicking again for a short term gain.
As an example, Salford will no doubt go and try and sign a marquee player, yet their academy is just about as bad as it can get.
The RFL have short changed the game for years now (giving away free naming rights for the competition is just one example)., and this just smacks of short termism.Now with relegation, clubs have even less incentive to invest in academy structures, and invest whatever Sky money they do have into overseas players.

Think people are over reacting, will it make that much difference! just means every club will get a bit of discount with a marquee player, how can it not be a good thing, don't understand all the negativity, If it means the super league can attract top class players again, or means we can keep hold of our top class players, brilliant. Think the RFL are doing something good for once
