It just shows that people would rather moan than look at he facts, last year a large proportion of opinion was that there would be no promotion because teams could not compete on a level financial playing field come the middle 8's, this proved to be correct.
This year the RFL have brought in a salary cap increase applicable to ALL clubs, for the benefit of ALL the clubs voted for by ALL the clubs.
Halifax voted for this as did Leigh, Bradford & all the rest, why do you think Sheffield are going FT? how do you think Fax can give upgraded contracts to their players and bring quality players in on top? the answer is EXTRA money from the RFL and investment.
Without all these things coming together fans would not be able to watch their teams.
Love him or hate him Beaumont puts his money were his big mouth is and his players love him for it. You cant knock him for that.
Enjoy your team & the spectacle because the championship just got a profile boost.
I have spent years playing in the championship and behind closed doors 99% of the players are mates, NOBODY is on anything like the money the average fan thinks.
It is nearly impossible to break the cap.
