Wasn't there suggestions that the cap would be around 10 million next year.Not saying g it isnt poor planning on the nrl's part that it's gptmthis late in the day butnwhere has this mythical figure of $10mill been plucked from? Why not plan on $9mill or $12mill or some other figure a club may think it will be?
A safe bet would have been to aim at a reasonable $8.5-$9mill with some clauses if you're chasing a star that they'll get more if cap ends up being more.
Clubs have likely been pushing towards a 9 million cap this year and have exploited the NRL's delay to run at a 10 million cap.
The longer the NRL delay it, the more clubs will jump on board and follow suit.
The NRL will have no option then
