one


I don't think all the teams will use the option to be honest. Wigan, Warrington and salford will 100% use it.

I would expect that Sam would have been our marquee player a few years ago, but now that he has pretty much ruled out the NRL again by saying he was homesick we could try to grab a big name from RU or the NRL.

At the minute I would be looking at a centre or a prop.

http://www.superleague.co.uk/article/32360/super-league-clubs-embrace-marquee Under the terms of the salary cap rule amendment, clubs will be entitled to sign one marquee player who will have a notional value on their salary cap register of either £100,000 if club trained or £175,000 if non-club trained. Clubs will only be allowed to sign a marquee player if they meet clearly-defined affordability criteria based around their income and expenditure.

Watching all the fans of the bottom feeder clubs announcing this as the death of RL is making me smile.

Really hope this is the seismic shift that many on here have been waiting 10+ years for. At last the backwards, cap in hand have nots have been put in their place.

Now let's watch the big boys crack on at trying to get the sport back to where it should be.

Agreed - I was pleasantly surprised there was a majority this time, been trying to find the details of which way the individual clubs voted, but not seen it anywhere.
