koucash obviously sticking 2 fingers up to the salary cap which could result in us being outside the 8. Time the RFL grew a pair

Agree but they should have a grown a pair with other clubs like Warrington and in the past wigan

and us?

from what dr evil as said in the past, he doesn't seem to care much about the salary cap, and if Salford were to win cc or the gf, wouldn't the money they got from them and/or earned leading upto it (tv, merchandise etc) out weigh the fine handed out?

The fact is, nobody knows what anybody is being paid you're all simply assuming Salford MUST be over the cap. When infact the reality is we're just spending what the majority of other clubs are doing.

So nobody knows what anyone at Salford is paid, but you know they the club are spending the same as other clubs.

Gareth Hock won't be playing for the love of it either.

Errrr, yes because we passed last season's salary cap audit.

Ahhhhh....

Salford be in the cap. Big players are only on average salaries. It's their appearance monies for things outside rugby ie promoting horses for a few days work which is easily done outside the cap.

.... and here's me thinking that the Registrations and Salary Cap Manager would catch out every indiscretion.

Similar to tax, I strongly suspect there is little need for cap evasion by the rich when there is ample opportunity for cap avoidance. If Rovers could afford to exploit the loopholes more fully... well if others are doing it, then for all that I'm broadly pro-cap, I'd hardly complain.
Mind you, the RFL do often take a 'pragmatic' approach to enforcing their rules. I'm sure hull fans have few qualms about Pearson talking about signing Scott Taylor despite the anti-tampering rule.

It isn't tampering if the player's club give him permission to talk to others.

Given Wigan's reaction, do you think that is likely in this situation? The reason Hull won't get in to trouble is because the rule isn't enforced. The reason some clubs can spend more within the cap, is because they can afford to exploit its elasticity. Hull maybe can't to the same extent as Salford at the moment, but if they the could the cynic in me suspects there'd be less eagerness on here for the RFL to grow a pair.
My point is that 'the problem' with the cap is more about the rule than its enforcement.
In contrast the anti-tampering rule, is clear, unambiguous, widely understood and completely unenforceable.

You can approach OOC players in May I think. Wigan didn't trigger the option in their favour for 2015 until August IIRC.
