I dont think its just about paying a super star ££££ but also frees up more cash to spread around to the other players, could be the differance the keeping a good youngster at the club,

Take Rory's £200k+ salary only having £150k on the cap would free up another 70-80k

I think if this is to work with overseas players the scouting system needs to be spot on or we could be paying over the odds for mediocrity.

Imagine if the system had been brought in for 2014 & Roy had signed as our marquee player.

At the moment, there's nothing stopping player A working hard, so that he can earn as much as superstar B in the future. There's enough cap space for both if the right deals can be struck,

However, given the ruling of 1 player only, either superstar B needs to move on for player A to earn as much or player A does. To me, I can see that not sitting well with some, especially if other clubs are coming in offering them that space in their team ...

Without the marquee ruling you are left with no option but to sign the Asotasi's of this world. This at least allows you to sign top class players.

Which clubs are willing to pay a salary equal to the top NRL wages remains to be seen.

How would it endanger normal operating costs? The spare £50,000 you could spend on another player would add up to exactly the same amount of money your already paying, but you'd have an extra player.

Sorry magic superbeetle I've just clicked what you mean. Even if it doesn't count on the cap you still have to find an extra £50,000 to spend on the player. Yeah I didn't think of it that way, so yeah it might not be the best for other clubs that don't have the extra money to spend
