The sporting equivalent of a Wonga* loan.



* Other shorts term, high interest loans for idiots are available.

I think Salford's reasoning is spot on. Sign two experienced players to bolster their squad for the 8s. With squads the size they are nowadays its the sensible thing to do.

Let's hope that the clubs making all these short term signings are doing it totally within the salary cap.
I trust that the RL Compliance Unit is on top of all this.
Somehow I doubt it.

Re: Salford sign Burgess : Mon Jul 25, 2016 2:39 pm  
Well given it's a live cap these days, as long as the value being paid to the player actually matches what's on the contract - and I'm looking at you, Salford - then the registrations won't go through unless they are under the cap.

There's very little the RFL can do if teams go out of their way to deliberately hide or disguise payments to players, unless it comes to light through another route i.e. the Puletua payments.

Am I correct in saying that those payments only became known when Puletua took Salford to an employment tribunal?

Yup. Salford had given him a second contract with one of Koukash's companies that wasn't declared on the cap returns. Had it not been for the employment tribunal, it would probably never have got on the RFL's radar.

Frankly if Puletua knew about it I'd have been in favour of banning him for a year. He's as compliant in the cap breach as Salford are.

Puletua would have never signed up to the salary cap, why should he be punished?

Except Puletua doesn't know what is being declared to the RFL and what isn't and shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of a club.

If it could be proven that he knew those payments weren't being declared then I'd be in favour of punishing him in some fashion. But that would be almost impossible to prove.
