Homegrown future internationals, on low contracts until they eventually run out, then some have to be moved on, ie: calderwood, walker, smith, scruton etc when they are established first teamers, then come the next batch.
That apart GH & Caddick love the salary cap, if anyones under it its them 2.

Even if the cap is live people can still cheat. The live cap just stops deals being done that would otherwise only be discovered when the accounts were submitted months/years later

Incredible, unbelievable. Never seen anything like it.

bulldogs in 03?

Strange that more than a few are defending Melbourne on the Wigan board!! who'd of thunk it ey!

What happens to/with some of their super star players moving forward??

Presumably some are either going to have to accept taking home much less pay or will have to be shipped out if the club cannot keep them within the salary cap rules?

We lost on the day and thats it done for me. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 636565.stm *Sourgrapes mode* I still don't feel it was Melbourne that cheated us out of the WCC, but a certain person with a whistle.

if leeds get the 50,000 back from the wcc and give the money to the players,as they were going to do.wont that take us over the cap?

I think the players should also be punished as they have accepted off the books payments, unless they expect people to believe that they thought getting a pay cheque and a brown envelope was just normal.

Bonuses not part of the cap.
