There are no ferries from the northern beaches other than Manly. Any other northern beach requires at least a bus or a car to get to a ferry. Most people would take a bus or a car all the way to the city or to a train station.
Ferries are a common and delightful form of transport to the city (Circular Quay) from the lower northern suburbs such as Milson's Point, Cremorne, Mosman and Neutral Bay.

Indeed. And there are still clowns in the game who think we need to *reduce* the cap still more until the dross catch up. Death spiral. |

You are correct.
However raising the SL cap to 2 million pounds might help, especially if it involves a marquee player or two allowance for each club. The key is to be able to keep 30 top flight English players and 20 top flight French players out of the grasp of rugby union. If the NRL grabs some of them then it is not a disaster for the international game, though it will make Super League unquestionably a second class competition compared to the NRL. The key is for England and France to expand geographically to tap currently dormant sources of juniors, from whom the SL clubs can maintain a talent stream. |

It's been increased by around £150k in the last couple of years with certain exemptions.
This is a very schizophrenic message board. We go from "clubs are suffering financially and need help" one day to "we need to let clubs spend more" the next.
I don't remember in detail but didnt only 2 or 3 clubs make a profit in the last set of accounts? |

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "The nicest suburbs in Sydney are not the oceanside suburbs you mention, such as the massively overbuilt and overcrowded Bondi, but rather the harbourside suburbs of the east and lower north. There are few places in the world as lovely as the water view parts of Vaucluse, Darling Point and Elizabeth Bay in the eastern suburbs, and Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay and Milson's Point in the lower northern suburbs. However rugby league players seem to never aspire to live there, prefering instead the ocean side suburbs, where they can surf, like Coogee, where I believe the Burgess brothers live, as did Adrian Morley before them.'"
Right I said the nicest area's IMO seeing as I actually live here, are either the the Northern Beaches or down Cronulla way (where I am actually moving to in a few weeks if that's ok with you) including some fantastic waterside suburbs down the Georges River. So where does Bondi fit into that? Or Coogee? When did I suggest that? Im pretty sure there in the Eastern Suburbs and as I said before its not my favorite area as I think its ridiculously over priced and most areas aren't that nice anyway.
You need to understand that people can have their own opinions are where is best to live in Sydney. Many would agree with me just like many would disagree with. Doesn't make either right hence the term 'opinion'. |

[iSalary Cap
How does it work?
The NRL Salary Cap for 2012 is $4.4m for the 25 highest paid players at each club. If each player was paid an equal amount, they would get $176,000 each.
Each club can exercise its discretion in relation to how much individual players are paid, providing that total payments do not exceed the various salary caps.
In addition to the $4.4m Salary Cap for top 25 players, each club may spend up to an additional $350,000 on players outside the top 25 who play in the NRL competition.
In 2008 the NRL introduced a new competition for players 20 years and under. Known as the Toyota Cup Under 20s Competition. It has a Salary Cap of $250,000 for the top 20 players who qualify for the Toyota Cup and do not sit in a club’s top 25 Salary Cap.
In addition to the Salary Cap for the top 20 Toyota Cup players, each club can spend an additional $50,000 on players outside the Toyota Cup top 20 who qualify and play in the Toyota Cup.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.
