I'm going to the final. It was more of a chance to catch up with friends and have a weekend away. Now I'm really looking forward to the game itself.

Some on the Wigan forum reckon Sutton heading this way…..

It is. I think it’s the first Cc final without Wigan, Saints , Wire or Leeds since 1986.

Further evidence The salary cap is equalling things out with all SL teams except Wakey having made a final over recent years.

The only downside for me is that I think the only true academy player at H KR is Lewis. They bought a Bradford Job lot a few years ago which included minchella, storton and Milnes. Don’t think Leigh have any home grown. When you add in Salford who have no home grown, it’s proving salary cap management can get you success without player development which is bad news for the wider game.

it may have leveled the field but it seems like a race to the bottom, not the top.
