The only reason for a SC ,especially one as low as the current SL one, is to equalize the league downwards.Please dont tell me you want standards "in a fully pro league" to drop?.

How can we go back to the day when only wigan were professional?,we have 14 fully professional clubs now and thats not going to change because of TV money. So if KouKash is genuine and he want to throw a couple of million a yr at Salford to get them up there with wigan,saints,wire leeds and hull then what right has the rest of the sport got to try and stop him?

Two words = SALARY CAP

Another clue for you is Barrow who had a money man who threw his cash at them and look where they are now?
You need control as otherwise it could be anarachy and what happens when the money man walks away as they always do?
Would you be saying this if it was not your club?
No.

For the good of the game the Salary Cap should be scrapped with immediate effect.

I would not put anything complicated in its place. It all has to be administered and Clubs get round it anyway.

What is needed at the same time as scrapping the Salary Cap are just a few high level rules:-

1. All clubs to submit audited accounts made up to 31 December each year to the RFL by the following 30 June. Failure to do this = 6 points deduction
2. One-up, one-down automatic promotion and relegation between the leagues
3. Go into Administration = 6 points deduction
4. Go bust and transfer club to a new company = relegation to the bottom division
5. A simple limit on the number of players any club can have registered at any one time.

If you want a 6th point (beyond 5 main rules you are tinkering though) I'd say

6. 13 of the 17 named for each match have to be EU born or trained.

I'd sooner see 2 up 2 down and any club that goes into admin relegated,other than that i agree.
