Quote: Saint Simon "Possibly, but the flip side is that the Aus dollar has gone from about $2.50 to $2 ish, so a £100,000 (for ease of numbers sake) contract is only worth £80,000 now.
A really quite boring part of this is that the Aus salary cap of Aus $4,100,000 is now equivilent to £2,000,000 so is a lot higher than ours of £1,650,000 so the ozzies whinging about talent leaving because of salary cap limitations is just balls!'"
you are correct sir!! Been saying this for ages myself. The problem with nrl clubs is that marque players like jt, prince, lockyer and Inglis take up so much of the cap the player movement is crazy. Especially when you get a club like Melbourne who have smith, cronk and slater to keep hold of too!! Props find it hard to get anything like good money!! Petrol and price been the lucky ones who do but they are the best props in the comp still
Just to add does that list take into Account criminal records?? I bet a few of those have previous!!
