Me from west ella? Nah I was originally a Hedon lad but moved somewhere upmarket when it started to fill up with people moving out of east hull. Very cultured was my time at south holderness though, just ask the duck about that.

As for the rest, I'm still reeling from the revelation that there is another rugby team in east hull but I've never heard of them

Ah Pickering gets to the root of it.

Castigated, made to wear a leper's bell, shunned by his local community and then correctly exiled for his one eyed choice Jake trawled the wastelands of Gypsyville, Coltman Street, North Hull Estate for like minded (some cruel people say simple minded) folks with similar deviant interests. They came together in their collective ideology of
1 over rating their abilities
2 revelling in their own self importance
3 leaving before the end in order to avoid the reality of defeat

This exile and wandering drives the 4-8 daily urges to strike back at those that rightfully shunned him.

It makes sense now.

I got on quite well with the Hedon lot. I'd imagine Jake was the butt of all jokes tho and constantly got his head rammed up a u bend in the queens toilets, whilst being flushed.

As it has been reported in at least a couple of reputable news sources, maybe I was too quick to dismiss it as wishful thinking. Everybody plays 24 games across 26 rounds, with 2 rest weeks each. Make magic weekend the last 16 of the cup. That'd be my guess anyway. Could work. Could also help address the increasingly pressing issues around player welfare. Even from an owners perspective, there's not much point getting extra revenue from extra games if it all goes on funding a bigger squad just to add depth.

I'm pretty sure the salary cap means the squad costs the same no matter what the size(ignoring the cost of training gear and a few more butties at lunch)

I like the idea of the cup QF's for magic weekend but there are a couple of problems that would mean it was probably too difficult to do.

1. The teams involved would find out too late to allow fans to book rooms, especially if they move the QF's to the magic weekend current date.

2. With championship teams involved it would impact the big bash which seems to be a decent event and one the RFL wouldn't want to lose

Yeah, but not all SL clubs, or even most I suspect, spend up to the full elasticated limit.

However, it does seem that there's maybe been a change in interpretations or application of the rules. Unless our reluctance to bring in players on loan last year and your need to loan them out this, which have been to some extent blamed on the cap, actually just reflect budget constraints.

Whatever, I don't share your confidence in your ability to understand the salary cap. Or numbers more generally.
