Yes but in Salford's opinion they'll consider say 200k as an added bonus. They're lets say at 50% of the salary cap. Therefore that 200k received can be used towards wages on the salary cap. That ruling was prior to the introduction of the rule that allowed clubs to spend 100% of the Salary Cap regardless of their income

It confuses me how people fail to do the "simple" maths before coming up with comments regarding reaching or even breaching the salary cap.

Lets say a team is currently operating below, and considerable below, the salary cap and have 23 players. They lose 6 players through retirement, releases, etc and sign 8 new players. Using "simple" maths that leaves you with 25 players, 2 more than the previous season, and unless you are paying Man Utd wages to your new signings your overall salary bill will only slightly increase.

Now can someone jusifiably claim that Salford are "cheating"?

looks like some people on here seem to think that if you dont spend up to your salary cap it gets carried forward as a brucey bonus!!
if a club does get caught breaking the cap it wont actually come to light until the following season due to the submission of accounts etc.

Don't worry, that'll probably all change on Sunday anyway!!

SL operate a live salary cap now.

not that they are very bright enough to get it right

what a load of tosh! you cant operate a business like that! A salary cap thats live, day to day. teams dont know what money they are going to get in week to week or what salaries are getting paid eg loan players, transfers and retirements. give me a break!!!!!

Who gives a toss if they have broken the salary cap, they have signed some decent players for next season and the new ground has started to develop, the loyal fans of Salford deserve a bit of luck with what they have had to put up with over the last few years, good luck to em I say. I just wish we could swap places with them atm.

That's not what live means.

The budget is set at the beginning of the year based on previous years income and projections.
Then they pay what they want up to that agreed limit. If they are at the limit and want to get someone else, they have to justify to the RFL that they are going to reduce something before the new registration is added.

Yeah of course we're miles over the cap. I didn't realise that the likes of Anderson, Nero, Wild, Palea'aesina, Bailey are on miles more money than the likes of Peacock, Eastwood, Buderus, Delaney, Burrow, Mcguire, Webb etc. Get real!!

We are still no where near the maximum, this season we have been operating on the lowest Budget in super league as low as 40% of the cap and with Talau, Alker, Swain and Leulaui all leaving this will free up even more space add on to this Littler, Sibbit, Fitzpatrick also going, there's loads of room to play with. Patten and Holdsworth are no doubt our biggest earners followed closely by Vinnie Anderson, but still on no more than warrington, Wigan, Leeds or saint's big guns.

I really don't get how people have come to conclusion that we're be breaking the salary cap

the 'cheat' slingers are just after a bite - ignore them, it aint deserved. We know very little of what goes on at our club so know even less of other clubs. I was simply curious at the number of high profile signings that you guys were making. I was not aware of the departures its far clearer now how the pieces of the jigsaw fiit together.

good luck (except for Sunday)

Cheers mate,

Not usualy one to bite, but i found myself reading through the thread getting more and more wound up (How sads that?). So I guess they got what they wanted...... A bite

Three pages on Salford being over the cap who would of thought it! I love it!

Totally agree with that

It has to be said that Salford are looking like a completely different team for next season; they appear to be doing exactly what we all want WTW to be doing; making confident, quality signings for 2011, in the lead-up to franchise applications.

Having said that, after browsing their forum there seems to be some strong opinions about inept non-playing functions, such as marketing and PR for example, which look as amateurish and half-d as our own.

It'll be interesting to watch how they go next season.

I like Salford personally, similar team to us. People slag the willows but I think its a cracking little ground. i echo the good luck to em, cant help feel they might be better off if it wasn't Macrae in charge of the new signings like.

Thats exactly how i feel about Salford, even down to the Walrus.

Worst hotdog I've ever had though (should that be wurst?)

I like visiting the willows, compact ground and undercover.

Ich bin ein wurst. I love that little hut where you walk straight up and buy cans of beer, whilst still being able to keep one eye on the action

yep reminds me of home

ha ha looks like you spoke too soon there boyo! Looks like we pulled your pants down!
