SL is weak and is getting weaker. We are half the team we used to be and when you look at the current Wigan team it's not a patch on the team of say 2004. There are less quality players and the ones we do have are leaving or have left to join Union or NRL teams. There is no quick fix to this as the problem is simple, money or lack of it. Removing the salary cap will not help as it will just mean what talent we do have just gets hoovered up by a couple of clubs and then the league will be even more boring.
We are a shadow of the team we used to be - but we haven't won a trophy for 5 years and are no longer one of the top dogs!
Warrington have a playing roster oozing with stars and the current Leeds backline is exceptional.
We do need more money, but its not that dire. Wigan have shown that even with a modest playing roster, you can still play some very entertaining rugby.
We need the top teams to be turning up every week, in order that they don't jepordise their playoff spot.
If we don't want to cheapen the league, then we need to make sure that every match counts. Will the new format do this?
