No announcement yet.
Newcastle prove the cap is crap.

I think Tariq is supremely overrated. Korbin is pretty talented. Not someone you can build a pack around obviously.
I'd like to see the cap raised so that we are the highest paying code who can attract the best players in the world. But I want every club to be able to have a roster worth the same amount. I like the evenness of our comp and don't consider it contrived.

The team that finishes 16th gets an extra $1 million to spend on recruitment/retention the following season. 15th - $500k. 14th $250k.
The other issues are 1) Poor management. 2) Only 6 or so good/great coaches. 3) The missus doesn't wan't to live in Newcastle or Canberra.

I know i'd rather play French or Japanese Rugby than live and play for Canberra.
The game is stuck between heritage and modern professionalism.

Who says that it has to be established NRL players being drafted?

The NRL's share the love business model works more effectively than the salary cap.
No team will go back to back under the current administration! There will be more close contests and the ladder in and around the 8th position will always be congested.
Watch the Cows get reemed in the Preliminary final. The Broncos will vs a team that has no hope in the GF ala Souffs v Bulldogs 2014.

I read an article on how Tedesco amongst others including JWH rejected big offers from the Raiders and that's why i used the nations capital as an example.
I'd probably still opt for France though
After 47 years in Bondi i'm considering a move to da Shire.

Always find your opinions interesting despite the Tobinator jokes. That's just me.
Running outta steam atm, but this makes for a good debate I reckon,.
Clubs will always cheat the cap but the third party situation is outrageously unfair.
I know they are trying to allow clubs to keep the best players in the game but it's crap. There are other ways to do that.
