Quote DemonUK="DemonUK"They can spend what the like on the marquee player. But that player will only take a certain amount of the salary cap up 100 or 175k dependant on being club trained. What is to stop an aussie star being paid 600k and then hiring another players missus as his cleaner or nanny and paying them 300k. Effectively they can have several marquee players with some creative accounting'"
If anyone is suspiciously cheap on the salary cap then it's investigated, and unusual payments to family members by the club or anyone financially associated with it are something that would get you in a lot of trouble.
