Message: [QUOTE="scgg, post: 3001196, member: 8262"] Might be worth checking the books on all clubs to see who are profitable now based on a salary cap position. If you blow it up and go hell for leather with no cap I doubt you will have many teams left. If we go down the e.p.l path of open slather it sinply won't work. We don't have the audience and people and certainly don't have the TV dollars to sustain a no salary cap competition. Also owners would be reluctant to go nuts and spend as they simply don't get a return on their investment. There are very few clubs who make any money and rely heavily on the nrl grant and leagues clubs to prop them up. Pre professional era there was no requirement for salary cap, however now that we are fully professional there is a requirement. In addition no salary cap would open a new issue of players actually getting paid. There would be clubs out there offering x $$$ and then not even having the cash to pay. Much like the building industry, win a big contract and then no cash to pay their workers at end of contract. Just my personal view. [/QUOTE]
