If we don’t have a salary cap manager, we should have. In fact each SL club should have to have one if they don’t already. Perfect job for someone with basic accounting / auditing skills.

Or simple ability to add and subtract. Which shows what a stupid mistake it was. Head(s) should roll.

Best run club in Rugby League, but slipped up on that one .like what has been Intimated maybe it of management fatigue has been setting in. Bit of freshening up needed?

I can't imagine many bonuses are paid that year either.

For me blaming contact upgrades reeks of BS to me. Leeds singed the likes of Crosby, briscoe and another bloke in a bid to avoid relegation.

A small fine it's a poor punishment especially as I feel Leeds have done this cynically

Re: Salary Cap Breach : Tue Oct 22, 2019 4:43 pm  

It's easy to forget most of the 2018 squad were GF winners a few months prior.

Hall
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Myler
Garbutt
Parcel
Cuthbertson
Ferres
Delaney

Won't have been cheap.

The whole thing just shows how we've taken our eye off the ball though, and how much breaches should be punished as they're found.

At least it puts paid to the rubbish that was been spouted about how Leeds never paid up to the cap.

I think we should put Dianne Abbott in charge...

The younger players of the great team had been underpaid for years, they'd finally got the deserved upgrades. This was always how it worked and as long as the team kept winning and players who left for more money turned into turkeys, it worked a treat.

Ah well, it brings us in line with most of the other teams in SL. Who's left that hasn't been done for SL breaches now? We did the crime we pay the fine!

Didn’t most of the other breaches involve clubs challenging for honours? If so, another sign of our ineptitude. I’ve always respected GH for what he’s achieved at HQ and at Sheffield and still do, but he’s presided over this mess for too long now.
