Difficult to justify that as they have been spending the full cap.

Was just going to write exactly the same thing.
People keep saying Huddersfield are punching above their weight etc, what they don't mention is how much money he has spent.
The team is littered with internationals, world cup winners and Origin players, if Brown can't get a performance from this bunch then there is something very very badly wrong.

You have to factor in that you spend more attracting players to a non glamour team - players are keen to play for Saints because it is Saints, whereas you'd have to pay an inflated salary to attract them to Hudds as opposed to one of the big clubs.
Simply, although your cap may be the same size it doesn't go as far.

Where did you get that idea from? Players, the vast majority anyway are mercenary when it comes to money and getting your head kicked in for a living. Look at Saints overseas players, they came purely for the money, on contracts, not a lot of players are as patriotic as Kieron C and Paul Wellans who ONLY want to turn out for their home team. Money talks !!!!!.

Money does talk, but it isn't the only reason a player will sign for a club, is it?
Players will consider other things - size of the club, chances of winning honours, location, etc. etc.
Put it this way, seeing as you mention Saints overseas players, if Saints and Huddersfield had both tabled £100k a year to Soliola, where's he going to go? So it's obvious that Hudds will have to pay more to secure top-class talent where other, more glamorous clubs are involved too.

| Saints also have a far better youth structure than Hudds, so we have a better pool of kids to bolster the squad with, freeing money for proven players. Hudds dont have that luxury, and have to sepnd most of their cap on brought in players.

Good point, I think he is punching below his weight. In the past three seasons the Giants have had some massive blips after promising much. I think Saints have made a mistake, they shoul;d have recruited a coach from the NRL.
