You have an unprecedented salary cap spend and are packed with international standard players. You still manage to fall out over it.

Try discussing the relative merits of Jamie Ellis or Ryan Brierley as your first choice 7.

The cap only ever goes up though, and 6 clubs have marquee players, so having a highly paid players isn't really a competitive advantage, it's a requirement to stand still.

Yeah, I get that and largely agree.

That's why it's so important to invest so heavily in coaching staff and the youth department to try to get an edge. That will be a big chunk of the extra 500k on the bottom line that Pearson talks about I'm guessing. I would speculate that to be fair to Rovers, ours will be similar.

Both clubs have a lot to do in order to match the conveyor of talent at Saint's, Wigan and Leeds. That's where the competitive advantage comes for those clubs I suppose.
