Operational Rules
Salary cap:
- For the 2009 season, Super League clubs agreed to operate within a £1.7 million salary cap for their 25 first tier players.
The 'club trained player rule' entered its second year and made a planned adjustment:
- Clubs would be required to include a minimum of six players, an increase from five players, who have come through their academy or are under 21 years old in their 25-player first team squads. Clubs were required to have eleven United Kingdom-trained players, an increase from ten, and no more than eight overseas-trained players, a decrease from ten.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
