Cas vs Leeds Scholarship just finished 10-70...

Shocked shocked I tell you

Win win for a club isn't it...

And the other costs don't go against the cap so don't affect you in other areas, so the cap value isn't inflated by being fed trained and thus pound for pound its more effective spending (or at least that is the argument)...

In Salary cap terms, it may well be.

Some suggestion on SM that the transfer of shares previously was not all in line with his wishes...

In fairness the document confirming the change was uploaded today, but yes a change that has been in place for a while apparently.

According to Companies House this change was put in place 26th September 2024.

Definitely. Particularly when it comes to schooling though that is changing

I do, and the RU lions as well. Alas, it may happen again...

I think the scale of this is particularly egregious though, it was literally a full reserve team.

Matt Shaw, amongst others, has been repeating the line, presumably from key figures at some clubs, that currently the dearth of Fed Trained players of sufficient quality is driving up contract values to a point clubs are not happy with. To paraphrase his words, domestic £50k players are being paid £80k when they are still only really worth £50k in terms of on field. Add that in with the need to find another 40 odd SL standard players in a few months for the pre season and well you can see why we are in this predicament.

And from a broader base too. The M62 is not enough

Look at what other sports have done to engage more than a basic core base. RL doesn't like doing this, on any level.

I think the difference is that the quota is an immigration case (essentially) whereas the wages are comparative.
