What is the purpose of the salary cap? It is good to see talent being willing to stay put but then again there is little financial reward for moving. Clubs now know what they are likely to need to earn to survive but the whole game seems to be going backward. Our profile as a national sport has never been lower and for all our pie in the sky talk of expansion we are getting more insular. I cannot remember a time when our big names have been so few and far between. If the point of the cap is to create mediocrity then it has been successful but it has not really brought the kind of stability that I had hoped it would because gates are falling and clubs are worried about losing their Sky money.
The purpose of the cap is to spread the top talent among all of the clubs in the division rather than cash rich clubs like Warrington acquiring them all. You say there is little financial reward for moving but without a cap there certainly would be, to the detriment of the competition in the long run.
