Cannot believe that the club's would agree to the 2 tier system if they had not sorted the overseas player stuff
Then again#
Like it or not rugby league has always chopped and changed with the structure, I remember when we split from a single league into 2 leagues with prom and reg, I remember the year York topped the second division and got promoted along with a scrappy little team called Wigan who were runners up
As for salary cap, no accusations but wage bill at Salford would be interesting to see, so it's workable

It's good to see that we have a squad building for next couple of yrs though

This is what the Bulls CEO Ferres said yesterday;

"Nevertheless, the salary cap in the Championship next year is £1million and the Bulls will receive £780,000 in central distribution"

He did not mention oversea quota?

The OS quota must be known as we are signing up OS players (saw a rumour that we are after 1 more who is a big name)!!! (I don't know if this means a big name player or someone with a long name!!)

He also mentions in the same article that the Bulls are looking overseas for signings. I don't think we'd be doing that if the quota wasn't being raised. Also I thought Solly confirmed it on a radio q&a?

Yes your right, I have just not hear the exact figures for quota.

It's not so much the squad (which seems to be building well for the standard of the Championship) but where the money's coming from that's the problem.

Whisper it, but the RFL are funding us. They're got Dr Koukash's accountant on board so we can bust the salary cap, and we will be ensured promotion next season.

Any update as to where this decidedly average squad will be playing their home games in 2015. I seem to recall uncertainty surrounding this issue being a staple of our diet in 2012 and 2013, but surely we are settled now....aren't we?
