I don't think it has worked at all. With two teams dominating rather than one this is little different than it used to be IMO. The same clubs are stuck at the bottom with the odd blip every now and again where one gets a top six spot but it never lasts.the grinch posted:
everyone agrees the cap has worked for some clubs and not for others.
Clubs who have improved like Hull have done this because they have a new ground, increased support and are better run than they used to be.
They would but how many of them can see past the Wigan dominance that they think has been ended by the cap? That is the simplistic view most fans take.but it wont be challenged any time soon so we just have to work with it and do our best.if you where to ask any fan the question is the game better with the salary cap or without it i think most would say with the cap.
That would never happen in RL because the money simply isn't there. That is what keeps prices down for the fans not the salary cap. Several clubs could already pay players higher salaries off their current turnovers and incomes so there would be no need to increase prices.look what has happend with football! fans being priced out of watching there team players on massive wages corruption in transfere fees. i dont like the salary cap but to some extent it is working and without it some teams would simply go under.
