Is that the current rule or next seasons rule?

That starts in 2015. Championship salary cap for 2014 is 300k from memory. It`s certainly substantially smaller than the bigger teams will be permitted to run in 2015.

Edited to say one point not mentioned to date is the potential loss of players to southern RU as well as the M62. It`s not much of a secret a few of the current squad were looking in that direction when it was far from clear they had an employer for 2014.

I wish it was all a bit clearer but, increasingly, it seems that all the talk of narrowing the gap between the bottom of SL and the top of the Championship is mostly hot air. I guess we'll lose a few.

Fans should stop deluding themselves with statements like ''when we go down we can regroup and rebuild from the bottom''??? We will stay on the bottom if our benefactor continues with us (which i doubt) until the fans realise P&R is in reality a fantasy and don't bother with these 'playoff' games farces and sky refuse to show the blow out matches in empty stadiums.

Agreed.

The RFL look like they are paying lip service to P+R.

The season after our parachute payment, I can't see us turning over more than the expansion clubs in C1.

The players will go where they can get the best deal. DH consigned the team to relegation with his procrastination so effectively everyone is on a one year contract.

Joe Grima: "If he(Caton-Brown) plays like that every week it will be hard to hold on to him.
But we will fight tooth and now to keep him. I would like to think we can hold on to a lot of these guys".

Perhaps he can explain how to the rest of us!?

I assume Grima means by not getting relegated.
