Sort of my point though, it's not stopping clubs from going bust. Seem to remember an interview with MC talking about deliberately not spending to cap as the money isnt there- shows he could have the club spending beyond its means even with a cap in place.

And as far Leeds going over it, chronic mismanagement because how that squad was being paid anywhere near the cap is beyond my comprehension having watched it week in week out...

The playing field is more even than it used to be.
We are an exception but before the cap Wigan could trounce a team in the top 5 by 50 points.
We now have a situation where lower teams can beat top teams, just not in the finals yet.
For me the cap works but it should be deployed differently to help manage teams but also let top clubs buy/keep top players.

It doesn't bother me at all if Warrington can sign a top player that we can't afford. I wouldn't want them to be able to sign 13 of them though.

Increase Cap. Keep and maybe increase marquee. Allowance for home grown players.

Wasn't the original cap something to do with you can only spend a certain % of your income up to a limit of 1.8 million?

Widnes absolutely imploded trying to keep up their success in the 80's then Wigan went bust after they dominated the 90's. I seem to think the cap was brought in because of the state Wigan got themselves into.

Tell BM where to get off, he knew the rules regarding salary cap, he should have cut his teams cloth accordingly.

Couldn't agree more Jinjer

It actual shows it’s a lot more difficult to run an expansion team because no one wants to travel across the globe to play and not get well paid. This alone shows that maybe expansion clubs that far away isn’t a good idea. As other people have posted getting rid of the cap isn’t good for the league as you may as well split the league into a four team league and the rest in another which would be the death of super League. There should be no dispensation for TW as there is promotion and relegation which would be unfair to any team going down who are abiding by normal rules.
