We may be paying up to the full SC but we cannot get the same quality of players to come to London because as others and i think yoursef have pointed out we have to pay maybe £30,000 more in London weighting for the same standard of player that plays up North which meens we cant sign the same quality of overseas players like Wire and Wigan get, and because Northern players have family networks, schools for the kids, wives jobs etc., Up North they wont come down willingly even if we were allowed to equalise out the money.
IT IS NOT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
If you give 100% effort though you may beat the odds as teams get injuries, make mistakes and have off days. Its the lack of effort and failure to do the basics which anoys most of us - not the losing. We are used to losing but even the most hardy of us are being worn down by this never ending basement team.
