Good man!

Logically, the SL salary cap rules would only be voted on by SL clubs, you'd assume?

I'm led to believe that the Championship (that's NL to most of you!) clubs decide on their own cap, so I think it's safe to assume that the same applies to SL

It does stretch that far and we have nothing to worry about. All the Bulls Image Rights deals are lodged with the RFL.

I'll believe it when Stuart denies it...

I guess the questions I'd love to have an unequivocal answer to (but don't expect to get) are:

1. Are any of the Bulls' current image rights deals with players likely to attract claims from HMRC for underpaid tax/NIC?

2. Ditto for players no longer with us;

3. Confirmation that we have not used EBTs, or if we HAVE then the RFL salary cap auditor was fully aware AND we do not envisage any tax/NIC claims from HMRC?

I't not realistically expect an answer, and if I read the situation right we are not likely to be anywhere near the forefront of clubs with worries here - if indeed we need to worry at all. Still be nice to have mind put completely at rest though! (Although I suspect that would open the floodgates for Bulls supporters to play hell with fans of certain other clubs who gave us hell for the technical and non-deliberate cap breaches...
