Surely this isnt true! There are some seriously over paid players at the Broncos if it is. Broncos owner David Hughes is spending the full £1.65million salary cap for at least the next three years. And Gower, 33, said: "Now the target for the club is the play-offs. "David is putting in a lot of money — now it's about putting the things we've done in training out on the pitch." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... eague.html

Well i'd say Robertson, Dorn & Kaufusi will be marquee earners. The likes of Witt, Gower, Rodney, Clubb will be on very good money. They have some very good players the Broncos this year.

Slightly more expensive to find accomodation in South West London than it is in the North. Salaries will reflect that.

Add Randall and Howell to the big earners

5h1t or bust time for the London club, a decent team to bring in the fans, or shut down time in 3 years

I am aware of London Broncos squad for the 2012 season. I wouldnt describe it as good. The only clubs squads I would describe as good and expect to be spending at or near the full salary cap are; Warrington, Wigan, Leeds and st helens, with Catalan not too far behind. Anyone else who is spending the maximum, is clearly paying over the odds for players. If you think the Broncos players salarys should add to £1.65M, based on ability, then you must think they are title contenders?

Re: London : Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:10 pm  

A lot of teams in SL use the full cap, not just Warrington, Wigan, Leeds, St Helens and Catalans. Can't believe we're being slated for trying to be as competitive as possible.

Are you trying to be stupid, or just by accident?

It costs MORE to live in London. Therefore, salaries are inflated. You can't get as good a player for £100k in London than you can in Leeds. You have to pay them more to make the move.

On top of that, London are hardly a big club looking at winning things. The big clubs attract ambitious players who are willing to take a cut in salary in order to win things. Again, you'd have to pay someone more to play for London, Wakefield, Hull, etc. than you would to play for Leeds, Wigan, Saints, etc. because they have more chance in winning something.

Spending the salary cap doesn't mean you're a title contender and no-one has said that. You NEED to spend the salary cap to contend, but it doesn't mean it will happen.
