Never mind that how the hell are they getting under the Salary cap, Grand Finalists don't come cheap.

its ridiculous, cant belive they have got more money than leigh

Indeed, they've had 1 home gate with a crowd above a 1000. Most are around the 500/600 mark, a little like Batley's crowds. Would they be able to sign a [i2008 NRL Grand Finalist[/i - NO. They are just one of many teams in Yorkshire.

Our league's Salary cap is no more than 50% of the club's income, but if you work out a 'projected' income, but it eventually falls below that, it protects you from a points deduction, that's what Leigh did a couple of years ago, and copped a £5000 fine. What do they class as income ? In Gateshead's case, it must be 'financial backing'.

How the F O O K! it also looks like Barrow are to take Briers!

What the hell is going on, we are all excited about one aussie stand off we have never heard of!!!

Right, can someone please explain the current quota rules and who they affect.

Simple terms please.

Thats just it, its not simple, also the RFL put in statements which mean they can change them or override them for certain circumstances.

This is what ive been saying for ages, if teams get less income than us then how do they afford better players, and not just 1 either

Right, so its 'as many as you want if you are more than 50 miles from Red Hall, we'll turn a blind eye to how they are paid, and then we'll tell the world that you succeeded fair and square'.

Got it now. Thanks.

This is certainly NOT a level playing field it makes me sick how other clubs get away with signing players and not just your average type and supposedly not go over the cap, its deffo looking like Gateheads , Barrow and the French are the ones being looked at for SL

Give us Salford, Cas, and Wakey and they can have them.
