Re: Rumours Ad Infinitum : Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:22 pm  
Another thing to consider is what the RFL do if Bradford do go out of business this season. If they take the same attitude they did with Crusaders they will have to relax salary cap rules so the now out of work players can get jobs. Cue certain teams using it as an opportunity to avoid the cap even more, like Wigans deal with Tompkins.

Anyone remember Darren Rogers?

His autobiography says that one morning he woke up next to a couple of hairs on his pillow. That same afternoon he was sacked by Cas for breach of contract by going bald.

It was a similar story with James Evans so I'm told.

That's because you're looking at it as a rule covering a single transaction type. It isn't. It's several rules designed to cover several different eventualities all rolled into one. It's all about trying to ensure that a club can't get an advantage out of manipulating signings/wages.

If a player's full wage didn't count for the full season you could sign a megastar on a huge wage for a short period - like a cup final or the playoffs - with minimum impact on your cap spend. It's been done before.

They closed that loophole by not allowing registrations after a certain date IIRC. So are we now saying the salary cap is actually 133k a month rather than 1.6m a year?

Edit: what exactly is the point of the salary cap? Surely as long as a club doesn't spend more than 1.6M on wages over the course of a season that's all that matters?

Would paying for hair implants count on the salary cap?

I think in essence, that's it, yes.

I don't think it should, but the baldist RFL class it as an employee benefit and therefore it counts on the cap.

Maybe Lovegrove should just buy a cap and hide his so called problem.

But why? How is that helping to either A) stop clubs spending above their means or B) encouraging a more level competition?
