| Quote: fredie "gasnier's french team has a salary cap of $19million
And thats what is becoming attractive to the NRL's top players. Do the big bosses at NRL HQ stick to their guns, or change the salary cap and sponsorship rules with the intention of keeping their big name players?

Let the players go - If they leave to RU ban them from playing in the comp again
Most will only be going to earn enough money on 2 or 3 years so they can retire

| Blame his agent - Khoder Nasser.
The same agent who encouraged Mundine to walk out on his Dragons contract. The same one who all of a sudden has Sonny Bill whining about his contract. Out of the blue SBW starts going on about his "black and Polynesian brothers" - a well worn Mundinism.
This Money Bill Williams only emerged a few months ago when Nasser became his agent.

| you could blame his agent. And you could cite Gasnie's french girlfriend and SBW's 'special' circumstances (whatever they may be).
FACT - in the last week 2 NRL sides have lost their only genuine star players.
The only question is whether the NRL actually have a look at doing something about the money for the few stars the game has.

| Maybe something like the England rugby union had a few years ago?
POssibly a system where one or two players per club can be paid highly, subsidised by the league?
Either way, you can't let many more stars like this walk out..
As a British occasional fan of the NRL, games are certainly less appealing to me first thing on a weekend morning when these guys aren't playing.
When the NRL chiefs first started to talk about the loss of so many players to SL and union I laughed it off saying they were a bit OTT and the aussies will always produce more...I don't see the next Gasnier or SBW on the horizon, maybe they were right.
Oh well, you're getting ol' Trent back next year ;]
You can take King too if you like

What? Gasnier's "French" girlfriend who was born on Sydney's north shore and has only ever been to France on holiday? (her parents emigrated before she was born).
How about we blame St George who failed to make sure Gaz got paid what his contract stated and left the loophole open? Makes more sense.
The fact is that Gaz's contract included 100K in third party payments and they couldn't find anyone to fill it. If it had been a Million it wouldn't have mattered. No company seemed to want Mark "Fire up bitch" Gasnier as the face of their product.

Apparently most of the clubs over there are backed by men with deep pockets.

There'll be more SBW / Gasniers and the like come through. Personally I'm not overly concerned at all this doomsday talk. It's amazing how big the issue becomes when it directly effects those in Sydney. There was nowhere near this sort of frenzy when Qld lost Tiquiri, Sailor and Rogers to RU.

Exactly. The money's simply not there. So those that are crying for Salary Cap increases need to STFU because chances are your club can't afford it.
That said, get rid of the SC and let the weak die!!
