It is, some clubs are in debt and others not so.

And some have unpaid debts, so, if and when they are paid come back and tell me.

You may be suprised to know AG is still paying back those cynicall debts, still if you don't know that you could make it up to suit.

Lets put it this way, if any don't get paid then it will amount to less than the debts owed by a SL club not far from BV.

Whatever people may think of Trin and the old dark ways. AG is doing what he can to repare the damage and run the club the right way.

Because they robbed peter to pay paul but forgot about the tax man, that and the club spent more than it could afford adds up to ADMIN.

Anyway back to the cap, should it be lifted or tweaked George?

Nowt to do with me, Al. Pros and cons. The problem as I see it is that the so-called big clubs get more players singled out for fast-tracking into the national sides. That being the case, it will make the big clubs bigger and the small clubs smaller. It's also no incentive to clubs who can't afford to spend the full cap.

If you support Leeds or Wigan it's obviously a good idea. If it's Cas, then not so good.

That's the point - Wigan went crying to the RFL and this is the result; a change to the cap rules specifically designed to benefit 2 or 3 SL clubs, which will widen the gap between the haves and have-nots even further.

Meanwhile, Wigan fans will say that Tomkins was rubbish in the 4N final because he doesn't get to test himself in super-intense games every week, because half the clubs in SL are makeweights.

It's a quandary, one that I'm not convinced the current incumbents at the RFL have the nouse to unpick.

Are (we) the smaller clubs holding the game back then? i don't think we are because i reckon only 4 clubs could spend more than the cap at this present time, so if thats what they want then it'll soon be a small SL.

Thats why imo it won't change, other than the odd tweak the cap will stay.
