The good Dr has just tweeted that, and I quote:
"Salary cap increased, 2 marquee players allowed and allowances to attract RU players. Good work by the @rfl and SL clubs. Well done"
I wonder what incentives the RU players will get to swap? Sounds like a positive meeting anyway! |

Not earth shattering changes. But good steps in the right direction.
The second marquee player is presumably to keep George Williams in Superleague.

I think that players returning to the sport from Rugby Union are exempt from the salary cap for 2 seasons. If that's the case, we should be looking at Kyle Eastmond.

Plus, for me anyway, I think Eastmond is everything that the Club don't want. Another HB with attitude problems that could disrupt what we're building. Not for me. |

It's very understandable that they're doing it this very careful, timid and conserative way at least they've admitted it was necessary. It's very debateable that it worked in any of the positive ways intended and has only ever come into it's own at the punishment end.
My own doubt is that MK won't use the Marquee contracts.
