Absolute bollocks. The Broncos of the 90's would beat this storm and Manly teams by 50.
Agree, they went back to back twice ffs.

Name the last time in the NRL there were one or tow really great teams?
the salary cap promotes equality. but that is equally shyte, rather than equally brilliant.
The salary cap should discourage cluns from being able to buy players from other clubs. The problem as it works now is that it punishes teams for developing players. There should be WAY more discounts for players developed by the club.
Melbourne in 06/07. Saints in 09/10.
This. The cap should promote player retention, junior development and loyalty. It instead promotes mediocrity...i mean an even competition :roll:
Watch a bit of English soccer if you think the cap is a bad thing. Arsenal,
Chelsea and Manchester United take it in turns winning. No other club in the English system is in with a sniff. Same in Scotland - only two teams have ever won the Scottish Premier League, they both play out of packed 50,000 seated stadiums every week whilst all the other clubs play in front of 10,000 people scrapping it out for 3rd place.
This is what a salary cap-less world gets you.
If you want to promote player retention, you need a draft to work alongside the cap.
The salary cap holds the game back, f**k off the poor teams, nobody needs them.

Incorrect. It needs some tweaking. It's existence is required.
:lol::lol::lol:
Have fun with your Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne, Manly, Souths, Bulldogs Comp.
How does a draft help player retention? It does the opposite. It just punishes clubs that invest heavily in their juniors.
