MC says we've spent 450,000 under the salary cap so what happens to the money are we allowed to keep it & spend the money on new players for next season or can we just bank it.

Huh ? Are you aware that clubs that can’t afford to spend the cap. Don’t. The full salary cap money isn’t just given to the club by the RFL.

Why do you think we've spent £450 thousand under the salary cap?

Re: Question : Sat Aug 11, 2018 12:38 pm  

I don't believe we receive all of the 1,825,000 that each club gets either

We are fined some of the above for not meeting sky's stadia criteria

The cap was £1.825m per season
but rose to £1.9m in 2018, £2m in 2019 and £2.1m in 2020

This has to be the most confusing post for some time.

I assume you mean if we had the money but chose to save it rather than spend it this year, so we could spend to cap next year...... I clearly don't know but I'm thinking you could.

..... For Wakefield we don't have the money to save in the first place. So it isn't an issue.

I think it was confusing because you made it sound like there was an unspent £450K floating around. There isn't. What he meant is that we get good value for money and do well, bearing in mind we spend so little.

I still don’t understand. If you had the money to spend the full cap, you would. The reason we don’t spend the full cap is because we don’t have the money to spend in the first place. Hence we are punching above our weight.
