Message: [QUOTE="SSS, post: 2097067, member: 1896"] The Salary Cap seems to cater for the weak teams, by limiting the amount of money teams can spend therefore the poorly run teams will not go broke. If the NRL was to lift the Salary Cap dramatically or even scrap it completely I believe we would find solutions for a couple of the major problems in the NRL set-up. Firstly by lifting/scrapping the cap it would be a lot harder for Super League and RU to poach our top line players and secondly the Teams that cannot compete financially (due to poor management and/or poor income caused by the limited fan base) will simply not be able to afford to continue or will be forced to make themselves more financially viable. This would lead to the strong clubs being the only to survive in their current positions and would force the weak clubs to look at relocation into a bigger fan base as an option for survival. I'm sure all fans no matter what team you cheer for would prefer to have your team relocated than become extinct. At the moment we are not forcing clubs to make the tough decisions, therefore we are in essence accepting mediocrity. On the Souths issue I for one do believe that when Souths are successful the game on a whole is in a better position, but I also believe that when Souths are not even competitive for the best part of 20 years it becomes a blight on our game, for the sake of history and tradition surely the time has come where the NRL should step in and save the once proud football club from any more humiliation. If Souths where a new franchise, what they offer would not gain acceptance into the NRL, so why have them there if they aren't after 100 years stronger than a team that has never played? [/QUOTE]
