I agree with him on the salary cap. I guess we should welcome ex players speaking out about the game as a contrast to the business as usual messaging. We are on a downward spiral so something needs to change.

Salary cap has not worked to prevent clubs going to the wall, nor has it helped even up the competition. It has levelled down and starved us of elite players. We have lost pace with the NRL and RU salary caps. Things is we have a number of high net worth individuals in the elite competition. I would argue that the following clubs could afford an increase.

Huddersfield - Ken Davy ~ £75M+
Wires - Simon Moran - £150M+, Stuart Middleton £70M+
Wigan - Mike Danson - £1Bn+
Leeds - Paul Caddick £150M+
Hull FC - Andrew Thirkill and David Hood (new consortium)- £500M+
Catalans Dragons - Bernhard Guash - £??M
St Helens - Eamonn McManus - £46M
Leigh - Derek Beaumont - £20M+?
Hull KR - Neil Hudgell - £??M

Ftr Wakefield Trinity - Matt Ellis and family = £160 million.
