You mention all of those clubs but, which of them have transgressed under the live cap
Back in the early days, although the cap was in operation, for the smaller clubs not able to spend the full cap, this was set under an unknown level of income, if you like guesswork, which certainly hasn't been the case for Leeds and Wigan, both of whom, can spend the maximum cap.

Wigan, Salford and Leeds have all transgressed under the new live cap system. But if we're going down the "breach is a breach" narrative, then all breaches of the rules should be treated as such. The rules in the RFL operational guide is clear and there for all to see - and has been since the introduction of the cap.
When Wigan were caught most recently I said that the points deductions were justified if only for the stupidity (rather than the scale) of the breach. I stand by that in the case of Leeds as well. These "admin errors" need stamping out. In the same vein, I'd also apply the same standard to clubs who look to seek commercial advantages by breaching minimum wage regulations.
