Absolutely, if you want a level playing field... I have a feeling, you don't!
Quote ="JCWWRL"Salford should aspire to get to our level'"
Absolutely, is anyone suggesting otherwise?
Quote ="JCWWRL"The cap should be increased not decreased, its never been increased since its introduction.'"
Why not just get rid of the cap? Strengthen the top, weaken the bottom, gotta be good for the sport that! In all honesty, with so many clubs with financial woes its a terrible idea. Other clubs would be forced to spend more to compete, money they haven't got.
Anyhow, none of this is addressing whether or not the franchising system has helped clubs lower down the table... clearly it hasn't, yet although there are signs.
