Leeds Rhinos - southstander.com • Relegation
At some point we have to go back to licensing.
The point of (or at least one of the major reasons for) the salary cap is to spread the playing talent and make the league more equal than it would be.
Eventually you reach a point where the salary cap combined with P&R is actually weakening rather than strengthening the league because it’s already evened out the quality so there’s relatively little difference. At that point if you relegate a club and promote a new one you’re weakening the league not giving a new club a chance as P&R is supposed to do.
For instance if the bottom NRL club were relegated and they were replaced by one of their 2nd tier clubs I don’t see how anyone could view that as strengthening the competition.
So eventually once the competition has been evened out by the salary cap we have to get rid of one of either the cap or P&R.
