Is that possible? ? ?

He could possibly not play at all... thats the only way it can get worse

Jammers doing the right thing in keeping his options open.



It strengthens his hand in negotiations.



Also if the Aussies raise their salary cap significantly and the british economy continues to tank, with the pound continuing to collapse against the aussie dollar , then i suspect, most of the best British RL players will head down under.



This will then lead to the collapse of the British game and we will end up with a scenario like the late 1960's and early 1970's were the best supported teams were only getting 4k gates after msot of the best players in that era headed down under.

The Superleague clubs voted yesterday NOT to increase the salary cap from it's current level of £1.65 million.

I believe five or six voted for an increase (inflation)



That means that the cap will have remained at the same value for three years.

If salaries don't go up players will start to get organised for a legal challenge.

rumours abound that the NRL are to up their salary cap year on year until they get to $7 million, to stop Ozzie rules and Onion taking players over, thats more than double ours so expect very few ozzies here and a good few players going there. I wouldnt be surprised to see roby and Jammer go in a year or 2

The british game cannot afford to increase its cap.

Especially considering the fact this country is economically bankrupt, with mass unemployment becoming the norm again.



Australias economy on the other hand never entered recession and is growing at something like 3-4 % per annum. As a result their country is awash with cash. The NRL is likely to get a massive new tv deal in a year or two that is going to be further booosted by the increasing strength of the aussie dollar against the £.

For example at the time of world cup in 2008 you could get 2.3 dollars to the pound

now you only get 1.7 dollars to the pound.

Thats an enormous collapse in the value of the pound.

Your full of positives today Chair

If it's his life long ambition to play in the NRL then he's bound to go at some point. And with the previous points being made about our stagnant salary cap and the NRL's ballooning one he might be better off financially as well.



What's better than to fulfill a life long ambition, get paid really well for doing it and at the same time experience a whole new culture and way of life. Not a proposition many could turn down.

Is that what your hoping for mate.

Maybe.

Come on,admit it.
