That’s because the clubs with money can’t really spend it as they can’t keep buying decent players from lower down the league(s) as they won’t fit them all within the Cap so there’s no money trickling down the table/leagues.
I think the culture we have in our sport of waiting until a player is out of contract so he signs for his new club on a free transfer is very very dangerous as well. Money is not going around clubs.
Pretty much the only team over recent years who’ve paid good transfer fees to other clubs is Warrington. Yet backwards thinking sports fans think that’s a bad thing, the old cliche of “just throwing money at it” is often trotted out.
The clubs with money needs to keep hold of (by fitting them in their cap) and buy the genuine stars of the game rather than lose them to the NRL or Union.
The Salary Cap has been the single biggest hinderance to our sport.
Okay maybe we keep a Salary Cap but up it significantly since the one we have now is a quarter of a century out of date!
