It works here if the intention is to keep the game as even as possible, though here the top clubs constantly lose their best players overseas or to another game rather than to clubs lower down the pecking order.
Either way, it still feels like penalising excellence, thereby rewarding failure.
back to the original query that the SC is working in the NRL
last 10 years 5 winners / SL 3 winners, so yes, a couple of extra sides have won it, but only 3 in the last 8 years
Wigan up to recent have constantly lost our top players to RU / NRL, and players to other SL clubs, but that is seen as failure, but Penrith are losing their players and its seen as working?
what is slightly different is that in Penrith case, they are mostly losing to other NRL sides, whereas Wigan lost to NRL
i heard a comment the other day that Wigan spend the most, so are most successful (think it was taken from a podcast), but all the other SL clubs can spend what Wigan spend on the cap and marquee players, so why criticise or complain that Wigan are spending more, when we are playing to the same rules as everyone else
