Quote: "Something like appearance bonuses are very easy to calculate though aren't they. All the players contracts are lodged with the RFL upon signing and then the contract is signed off by the RFL as to whether it fits within the clubs salary cap. It isn't difficult to count how many games a player has played in and then add on whatever it says in his contract he'll get. '"
This is true. However, the RFL has considerably less ability than people think, to actually access any records of payments to players.
The salary cap to all intents and purposes is a gentleman's agreement, there is no real way of enforcing it.
Quote: "There might be ways round the cap (not as many as people think without getting into potentially deep do do) but just hoping the RFL can't count isn't one of them. Nigel Wood's fingers may be podgy but he can still use them to count with.'"
Nigel Wood has nothing to do with the salary cap, he has bigger fish to fry, literally
