| This article certainly appears to suggest so.
The Rugby Football League are sticking with a £1.7million ceiling but clubs are to be given permission to make allowances for long-serving, marquee and home-grown players in an effort to prevent a drain of talent to Australia and the 15-man code.[/i

This one would appear to be quite a big one though.

| Not necessarily, Wigan have lost some big earners this year (Joel, Hoffman, Deacon etc). Maybe Sam just got a large proportion of what would have otherwise gone on others? That would put him on a very sizeable amount.

| Ridiculous. So Wigan are once again in a situation where they feel the cap doesn't apply to them and are allowed to spend more than the cap on players.
You know what will follow this? Announcements of other signings. It's wrong, whether it keeps a talented player in the league or not. The cap was brought in for very specific reasons and it's being ignored again.

The aim of the salary cap is to stop clubs buying all the talent a la Man City, and to ensure that clubs don't spend beyond their means. It's not intended to force talented players out of the game because clubs aren't able to pay them what they are worth.

There is no point having a salary cap if you are going to let clubs exceed it. Most cannot afford to, which will further imbalance the competition.
So what happens if Wigan find another homegrown, marquee, long serving player who is being sought by Union? Are they allowed to offer him a record deal as well, or is this limited to one per club?

| Disgraceful by the RFL yet again, its no longer a level playing field for everyone. They can pay other players more because part of ST wages don't appear on the cap.

| If the RFL are so worried about the best players leaving, why not give out central contracts?

surely you can see that the new rules will be allowed by all clubs and will allow teams to keep there best home grown talents and loyal serving players.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

| I think the new rule is for the best. To be honest, I think the Salary Cap rules are being gotten round anyway.
The sooner we bring in some sort of points system in the better. I think that home-grown players, brought through the academies and into the first team, shouldn't count on the cap at all.
If we start losing the likes of Sam Tomkins to RU, we really are in trouble. The quality of the players being lured over to the dark side is getting better. It's bad enough losing our best players to the NRL, but at least they can still play for England.
If there are clubs who can keep our best players in Super League, then we must accept a certain amount of compromise when making salary cap rulings.

Yes I can, but it wasn't quite the point I was trying to make. If the RFL want to keep the best players in league and have a fair salary cap then central contracts are the way to go imo. If, for example, a Wigan or Saints provide 4 qualifying players to the squad and Castleford/ Wakey only 1 each, then Wigan and Saints will potentially have a lot more 'spare' money to open an even further gap between lower clubs.
This 'system' is wide open to misuse, creative accounting and just pure abuse.
