'Marquee player widens Super League gap'published at 11:44 British Summer Time 4 June 2015
Image source, Alex Whitehead/SWpix.comSuper League's new marquee-player rule will widen the gap between the top five clubs and the rest, says Castleford chief executive Steve Gill.
Clubs voted 8-4 in favour of introducing the rule, which will allow clubs to count only £100,000 of a nominated player's wage as part of their £1.8m salary cap from 2016. That rises to £175,000 if the player has not come through their own ranks.
"I fully understand the need to retain our home talent," said Gill. "However I do feel as though we will end up with once again the top five clubs winning everything and the others just making up the numbers."
