Phil Gould - NRL needs to consider setting minimum and maximum salary cap for clubs

[Billythekid]

lol the salary cap doesn't even work,the Storm are headed for like there 6th minor premiership in the past decade this season.

How is it a level playing field if the same team keeps coming first and the same donkeys like the Eels keep missing the 8 every year? lol

Nobody cares who wins the minor premiership. We've had a lot of variety in recent years in who wins the actual premiership. We've also seen heaps of teams drag themselves off the bottom of the ladder.

The salary cap can only do so much. If a club is run by monkeys it's going to go shit no matter what.

The eels could spend 100mill a season and still f**k it up

What happened to the football dept cap? If I was nrl I'd let the clubs work out what that would be and come to an agreement but not more than the extra grant that is available ie $3million. If a club can't run everything non football related with income from memberships, fans and corporates then tough.

 

[Eion]

The cap itself isn't the issue. It's the TPAs outside the cap that are.

Clubs can only have max two players selected for SOO. That's 32 players. The 2 captains are exempt from this classification so at most a single club could give to SOO is 4 players. That way talent would have to move not only for $$$ but rep selection and clubs not wholesale affected by SOO. If nrl expands to 18 teams, then it becomes an 18 man squad for SOO with 2 per club max.

Youve posted some stupid shit recently. But this takes the cake.
Kudos!

Couple simple things:

The NRL centrally pays 32 players , 2 per club, generous marquee allowances and uses them for all ads, promos etc. Club nominates said players. If a marquee f**ks up they are ineligible for SOO or rep selection and clubs slugged $1m out of the following seasons funding or lose one of their marquee allowances.

Holy shit.

When Bee Sting comes out with this, you can 100% bet your bottom dollar he has a vested interest.

Stupid argument, as has been explained earlier - no club has to spend up to the cap at all.

Next.

Holy shit.

It's rail wreck posting.

Sure Gus.

Sure Gus.

Well you don't give any conversation as to why. You just come out calling their idea geniused. Also Gus is one of the best football minds out there and probably loaded with $$$$ so I'll take the compliment.

 

[Front-Rower]

I don't really know much about contracts though I think an ARLC central contract system for selected Rep players (two tiers i.e. SOO and international) could possibly solve a lot of money issues at club level.

If he is instrumental in getting a Central West NSW team in the NSW Cup I'll retract everything bad thing I've said about him . . . even rename him Hans Solo

Might not happen in his lifetime, but it will be result of what he's doing now.
People dribble shit about Gould's self interest and hidden agenda, but no one can actually explain their theories, just cheap shots and personal insults.

EDIT- Pop I hadn't seen this SMH story. I guess this is what you're referring to. Sound pretty ambitious.

7 different clubs have won the premiership in the last 7 seasons, changing to a soft-cap would probably lead to a more uneven competition.

It already is a soft cap due to TPAs.

The Broncos are probably paying an extra 1-2m per year on player salaries than anyone else.

At least Gus' idea proposes to make the salary cap more transparent.

Laugh all you want. Most people dislike his commentary sure but he does know the game.

For all the good it's done them. They haven't won a premiership in eleven years.
