notice the quotes are only from the money bag owners!

Yup, as ever, will just create an even more disjointed competition.

Like us you mean? One of two clubs with a marquee player last year were we not?

They seem sensible increases to the cap. The rule with regards to poaching rugby union players (who I'm guessing will be the target of the New Talent dispensation) could ruffle a few feathers though.

Who was our marquee player, please not Pritchard, thought he had salary part paid by his former club?

i dont think Pearson was overly keen on raising the cap irrc

Quote: PCollinson1990 "Who was our marquee player, please not Pritchard, thought he had salary part paid by his former club?'" Pearson confirmed it at a fans forum. The only 'quote' I could find was on an internet forum... Pearson: "Only Frank Pritchard and Sam Tomkins are 'marquee players', although I'm sure Wire have four or five hidden away somewhere." But, our very own Wilf talks about Pearson confirming it at a fans forum in one of his diary's... www.rlfans-hosting.co.uk/?p=1479

My point was more to do with the marquee rule, and using that when available. If our performances on the field continue to see us challenging, and the fans continue to increase in attendance, then I can see us continue to spend at the full cap. It's only an increase in £225,000 over 3 years. If season tickets remain around £200-250, it's only an extra 900-1,125 season passes.

Like it or not we have to continue to move forward with salaries.
Not a mention of having a reserve grade team for all Super League clubs.Thats a big miss in my opinion and a needed platform for younger players to develop and giving game time to players coming back from injury.

just reported on sportstalk vote went for increase and Hull FC voted for it !

We probably need an increased cap to pay for Kelly next year

It'll be money well spent if that's the case.

i don't think many sports clubs make serious money (perhaps certain owners might though)

warrington made about £1m profit last year
