Level of the cap
2023: $11.05m
2024: $11.25m
2025: $11.4m
2026: $11.55m
2027: $11.7m

Minimum $120,000 including Super in 2023, $130,000 in 2024 rising incrementally to $145,000 in 2027.

Each club can offer $100,000 on motor vehicle allowance (up to five, valued at $20,000) and has a $300,000 veteran/developed player allowance. A veteran is valued at 10 percent of salary cap value after nine years at one club and 5 percent after 10 years. A developed player is 10 percent of salary cap value if contracted for two or more years before their top 30 contract. I guess that’s subject to the $300,000 cap.

Clubs must spend 97.5 per cent of their cap each year from 2004, rising from the current 95 per cent. (That’s bad.)

Developed players (juniors) cannot be signed before Round 6 of a player’s final contract year. A developed player is a player who has been contracted for at least two years in junior grades and has played less than six NRL or State Cup matches. This is to help development clubs retain players and give them more time to assess players.

Clubs must have 24 top 30 players by 5pm November 1. By Monday of Round 1 they must have 28 players in the top 30. 30 by 30 June (no mid season transfers after that).

Development player contracts replaced by “Supplementary list”. $650,000 cap for at least four, maximum six players, paid $80,000, can play from Round 1. Bonus of $3,000 for any NRL game.

Training contracts (train and trial). To rise to $1200 in 2024, $3,000 bonus for any NRL game, can only play NRL from Round 11 (ie after Round 10).

Clubs can promote players aged 17 to top 30 squads but can’t play until age 18.

Top 30 players can seek a release from their contract if dropped below State Cup level.

Relocation allowances outside the cap, eg 28 days temporary accommodation, one way travel for player and spouse, children, one month storage costs, removalists.

Milestone games. Debut, 100th, 200th, 300th, 400th and final games for players who’ve played 100 games and one full season at a club. Transport and accommodation for two family members, 10 tickets, the match worn jersey.

Any games. Six tickets for players in any game day top 18 player, two for other top 30 players.

=========

Not the best source, but I will work on getting a better one.

So, am I right in saying that although Blaize Talagi is eligible for Flegg this year, the moment he would be selected there, then he is free to leave?

If Moretti is on 80k, and plays 14 games, he earns equivalent to minimum in top 30 anyway, with a chance to earn more?? or can he not earn more as that would push him into the top 30 salary cap?

Surely that's how they've designed it to work... otherwise clubs would be doing that routinely to stretch things beyond the intention of having a cap for their "top" 30.

This might be why we’re seeing dudes on multi year contracts with a top 30 spot at the end: Mataele, Taumoepenu, Talagi, Cini, Moretti, Tuivati, Arthur (rumoured)
Just shows that there has been a lot of unwarranted outrage by merkins who just didn't know TF what they were talking about.

For example, there was a good 4 days of Moretti outrage, only now we find out that he can be picked Rnd 1.

I am still going to be questioning dumb shit the club does..

I might stop if they give me a top 30 contract for the next 3 seasons though...

Is there a third party agreement listing by each club available to see?

or is that hush hush?

well that would be hush hush between, player, manager and TP ? ....

clubs don't get involved with TPA ( apparently )
Well no, the club registers the TPA with the NRL when they lodge the contract. They are definitely aware of the deal. The club can even introduce the 3rd party. They just aren’t allowed to enter negotiations for the 3rd party or guarantee the dollar amount if the 3rd party collapses

ok but the third party can't be a direct sponsor or stakeholder of the club?
