[QUOTE="nick_w, post: 185833"] I love that it says a salary cap was brought in to ensure that the premier rugby league (what is now the GP) does not turn into its football comparison. Surely this rise will do this, not by separating the table into two halves, but by bringing in more international players. Not a great move by premier rugby by a long shot. I'm expecting more SH players becoming inhabitants of the prem. This isn't necessarily a bad thing (for one, the rugby would be great, plus increased attendance to see big names) but ignoring the grass roots problem. Much better would have been to use this money to develop club academies and create more quality English players. [/QUOTE]
