Wires71Velcro Boots:

IMO the salary cap is holding the game back

Wires71Abe Froman:




For accuracy, there was a call between Warrington & Leigh about the availability of any outside backs for loan signings following on from Lindops injury. The same as with a few other clubs. Charnley was mentioned, as were other players. Nothing came of it. One of the rugby league websites then reported that a SL club had made an attempt to sign Charnley on loan which they suggested was Warrington. It was Salford. 

Interesting times now the quota has been increased to 10 players, although I'm not sure what the quality of players being signed will be like with no increase to the salary cap.

Whilst I agree that Salary Cap, particularly at the current level is "holding the game back", my biggest concerns are the sport's financial model (TV and sponsorship) based on managed poor visibility and the self interest of our main broadcaster and the lack of talent in the game.


If the 12 or 14 clubs had the money where/how would they spend it?
