Who are these people who are laughing at us? When i start talking about RL to people they dont know what it is so are in no position to have an opinion let alone laugh  |

The trophies are decided between Warrington, Leeds and Wigan anyway, so no change there. |

Until player transfer fees are included in the cap Wigan, Warrington and now Hull will always be able to get the better players of the lesser teams, continuing to making it a lop sided league. Smith, Ratchford, Myler and Holdsworth spring to mind all from the same club!

| Quote Wooden Stand="Wooden Stand"The Salary Cap no longer serves any useful purpose.'"
Unless I've missed something here you haven't stated why you believe the salary cap no longer serves any purpose. So,
What purposes does the salary cap serve? Note, purposes not purpose.
How has the salary cap failed those purposes?
Over what time period are you making your assumption?
Does the salary cap serve those purposes exclusively or are other factors involved?
How did those other factors fail to serve those purposes?
Which factor was most responsible for failing to serve those purposes?
If you tackled those issues one by one put them in the order you think would address these purposes first. |

None of Smith, Ratchford, Myler or Holdsworth came frm the Salford junior system.
Smith was a Saints junior, Ratchford from Wigan and Myler from Widnes with Holdsworth from Aus.
If transfer fees had to be paid how would Salford have got the first three in the first place?

| Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"Its 25 full time pros in a squad.
There is a reason for the cap, its not working.
I honestly don’t know why some people are so enamoured with this type of cap and so against a different way. This cap clearly doesn’t work, hasn’t worked, and stops us =#FF0000competing for the best players.'"
Who are you thinking about?
Could you afford them if there was no Cap? |

Bar Myler i would imagine the other 3 would of been free transfers or very minimal at the most.
Not saying transfer fees can't be paid anyway, but should be included as part of the teams salary cap spend. |

I've no doubt a player like SBW would make a massive contribution towards, if not cover completely, his wages through shirt sales, sponsorship and ticket sales. |

Imagine the boost to Rugby League in this country if any club did sign Sonny Bill Williams!
But this stupid Salary Cap idea would prevent it. Talk about the game in this country (or those at the top currently running it) shooting itself in the foot. |

Rubbish! 10 out of 14 clubs lost money last year. The other 4 made minuscule profits. Where do you think this money is going to come from that allows a SL club to spend 700,000 pounds on star players from other codes/comps?
Do you really believe $BW's would sell 700k's worth of jerseys? Lol
