Proof that justice does exist.For all the good it's done them. They haven't won a premiership in eleven years.

Probably evidence that the salary cap is working at evening out the competition. Broncos won six premierships in fourteen years, at least some of those with virtually no salary cap (and definitely not as under as much scrutiny as today). Since then they've regressed to the mean.Proof that justice does exist.
Isn't this what happens now? Whatever the salary cap is, it is a maximum only. There is no obligation for clubs to spend the maximum. Imposing a minimum would in fact add a further restriction.You can spend any amount up to $9.5m, but you must spend at least $8.5m.
Then it's up to the individual clubs how they run their businesses. If you need the money to invest in your business and you only want a team worth $8.5m on the field, then that is your prerogative. It's actually responsible financial management.
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
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.
NBA style luxury tax would work well for RL I reckon.
Plus some concessions for local juniors and long serving players.
I'm no expert, but the NBA isn't exactly 'even' is it? Does the luxury tax contribute to that or not?NBA style luxury tax would work well for RL I reckon.

They already nanage rep players payments centrally

Cheats have always prospered in the NRL, both drug cheats and salary cap cheats.My gut feel on Melbourne, the punishment they received wasn't enough for illegally recruiting and then retaining future immortals. They should be laughing all the way to the bank with how well they got away with it.
The eels could spend 100mill a season and still f**k it up
Penrith got in very early and re-signed the majority of their squad months ago on the expectation of a certain size salary cap, penrith are among the clubs lobbying for a higher cap. They also don't care about becoming financially sustainable as long as their Leagues club keeps covering their losses. Because it's not like Panthers nearly went bust a decade ago.... that will never happen again...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.

Unfortunately with the emergence of several of our young players and the way our team has developed, we can’t fit everyone in the team each week.
“From a salary cap perspective we always knew someone would probably have to move on.
