We got clubs in our game with $1M plus players in the key positions and the lesser lights probably have players in the same positions who are borderline NRL quality but as a club overall they spend almost the same amount of money on the cap overall. It just doesn’t pass the smell test, makes no sense and yet the NRL promote this this utopia of evening out the completion thru the salary cap. It is a farce. You can rightfully question whether the competition heavyweights are cap compliant but I have no doubt they are. It is the application of the rules ,laws, third party secret arrangements that are the problem.

I found your suggestion of a draft system interesting. I found this...https://www.zerotackle.com/storm-ceo-says-nrl-draft-is-inevitable-229008/
Main points, it seems the CEO of the Melbourne Storm believes a draft system is inevitable.
"CEO Justin Rodski believes an NRL draft system is inevitable, despite acknowledging the major challenges that would come with implementing such a change."

But further on...
"The concept was previously trialled for the 1991 NSWRL season, before being scrapped following the Adamson v NSWRL Federal Court ruling, which found the system imposed an unreasonable restraint of trade."

Rodski said the league's current pathway and zoning systems, built over decades, would make a draft difficult to integrate.

“Because the system is now so inherent in its pathways and the programs that are in place, it would be very difficult to change that now,” he said.

“Not saying that it's impossible, because you could do it, and I think there is every chance the NRLW could move to a draft before the NRL itself.”

While Rodski conceded such a move would require extensive structural change, he believes growing support within the game makes its introduction inevitable.

“It would take a lot of change in a lot of areas that would impact clubs and their development systems,” he added.

“But I think it's inevitable at some point that the draft comes in.

“It won't be in the short term, but it's going to be interesting.”

Many of us don't like change, particularly some of us old farts. And before any one decides to have a shot at me being an old fart, remember I'm there...you have yet to get there. Best of luck with that.
On the draft system? I'm not totally convinced...yet!! but do see some benefits from it.

Bevan grew up in Paddo just around the corner from the phone box where they hold Roster Supporters Club meetings.

And yet, The Sydney Roosters are one of the most successful NRL clubs, boasting 15 Premierships, a record 20 Minor Premierships, and 5 World Club Challenge titles. As a foundation club, they have achieved back-to-back NRL titles (2018-2019) and established a dominant legacy with multiple Premierships across different eras, including a recent Women's NRLW title.

• Premierships (15): 1911–13, 1919, 1923, 1935–37, 1940, 1945, 1974, 1975, 2002, 2013, 2018, 2019.

Salary cap cheating, spineless, racists. That pretty much sums up the chooks nicely. Stick that in your ChatGPT and smoke it old man.

I'm leaning that way. When it comes to being an utter wanker his dedication to the cause is kind of impressive.

His 2 best friends are his right and left hands!!!!!!!

Yep, happily an old man. At least I'm there, you have yet to get there. best of luck with that endeavour! And of course I don't need to lie and spread rumours to show the world what I am. (or what I am not, a spineless petty groveling Panther supporter)

Is everyone sure it's not Silverdale in disguise What a punish.

Probably sitting in a basement up at the cross. Think I'll have to flick him or her on ignore. Last night was bad enough, without today.

Me, I generally don't do the 'early crow' as it can (and hopefully does) come back to bite you.

With the rain about,, handling will be tricky and hopefully the Riff plays well, and we'll come away with a win.

Am concerned about the racist pestering the match officials within an inch of their collective lives. Talk about protected species. If players from any other teams did this, HQ would be all over them like a cheap suit.
