Salary Cap

Post by Caboosegg »

this may be a bit of a none topic or bad reporting,
but i was reading this article:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/36426682

i thought the salary cap was just 1.85 million (then marquee) however the quote from Herthington

""Our salary cap is £1.9m but it has been very rare this season we have turned out a team worth more than £1m. In most games more than half of it has been sat in the stand."

rounding up or do leeds have dispensation from the RFL for a increased CAP (like we did to allow youngster to play last Month)
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Fixed your link - Josie ????
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Why is the loss of the training ground causing so much of a problem? Surely they can train at other facilities?

Any port in a storm Josie.

Does seem mad as to how they've imploded this season though and I'm not surprised that they're struggling for answers.

Just an easy excuse despite the fact it means nothing - maybe the first couple of matches when they got settled somewhere
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Of the many excuses offered over Leeds implosion thats the one that made me chuckle,how coddled these pro rugby players are nowadays get a grip,have a satsuma and a dollop of deep heat at half time and get on with life.

Exactly Josie, like for example, the Stanningley Amateur Rugby League Club where their Academies play their games.
