Quote: NickyKiss "Do you think SKD would count as a marquee player? I suppose if it comes in you could use it towards whoever you want and who you'd class as 'marquee' but I'd count SKD as more of a good player then an exceptional one and possibly not the type of player I'd expect that allowance to be used on.
I'm thinking this rule is more to try and lure the likes of Thurston, Cameron Smith, Paul Gallen etc over here for a stint. These are guys that could command 300k a year and still not put other players noses out of joint that somebody is getting paid 3 or 4 times more then them. The supposed allowance I'd guess is also to try and get the likes of Sam Tomkins, James Graham and Sam Burgess back in superleague.
I'd say SKD is a realistic signing with or without this new rule.'"
They're on 800k AUS Dollars +
