I can see both sides of the argument. Abolishing the cap would result in the team with the richest backer dominating, whilst keeping the cap, means the talent is more evenly distributed. That said, in australia there is plenty of talent to go around.

These figures do seem scandalous, what does the other $100m get spent on?

What happend to that independant commision talk that was going to take over running the NRL? Has it happend?

that wasn't the argument, the argument was if they could spend more than any one else. Clearly given their income is only mid table they wouldn;t be able to go out and sign every star player.


The IC is coming, probably happen in the off season or just after SOO imo. Most of the blocks have been removed and just deciding on how to vote people on and off now.

Salary cap is a good thing but should be higher, around the $6mill. Why it costs more than $10mill to run an NRL club and only $4mill to run a SL club I still haven't worked out? As said why it costs $100mill to run the NRL is a mystery to me as well!
