Bateman

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

Newcastle & all the NRL reporters also thought they could land Bevan French.

Knights main reporter did say a week before we re signed him that things had changed. He definitely had agreed terms with the knights

RE cap, if every team had to spend a minimum of 90% it would bring bottom teams up, as it is it brings top teams down.

Force clubs to spend money they don’t have?

People on this forum had Bevan agreed with Wigan for a lot, lot longer than a week before.

NRL reporters think they can sign anyone at a click of their fingers. They haven't got a clue.

Then they need to market themselves better, become feeder clubs and/or seek external investment.

Salary caps should be based around revenue. The better ran clubs are currently being held back & therefore so is RL/SL.

Here is where licensing comes in. No team spending under 90% should be classed as A. Sides who spend less on the cap have usually poorer facilities etc. If a lower league side could improve SL at the cost of relegating them then it should happen

How do we improve the product then? The game is going backwards.

If they can't spend and match the big guns then they shouldn't be in Super league, It's top level professional sport ffs, It's about time those in charge grew a set
