It was actually originally brought in to stop clubs going broke. i doubt you were born back then. It was never and should never be a tool to ensure that teams are kept in line with the lowest common denominator. This idea that it should be about teams taking turns for success is ludicrous, success should be earnt through planning, preparation and execution. Parramatta are a great example of a club who have done this with Brad Arthur, however the Titans have failed miserably to do so in recent years. I would not credit the salary cap for the Eels improvements, it is the planning and structures Arthur has in place that is the catalyst. Let's not tell fairytales crediting the salary cap for this.
IMO this signing of DCE is exactly the thing that will keep them at the bottom, paying overs for a guy who is good but not great. Unless a large portion of his contract is through Titans or NRL arranged third party sponsors which is actually not allowed and there are others outside forces who want this to be the Titans turn then not much will change for them.
