Cap Transparency

[Perth Red]

NRL should bring in this level of transparency so we can see what is really going on.

Amazed at the salary difference in NBA, this club top guys on $38mill, lowest in less than $1mill!

can't do that because players cry that their salary's will be exposed. They prefer the general public and journos just to speculate

Fans wouldn’t believe the figures published if they don’t fit their narratives anyway

The problem with this is:

A) It is never going to happen.

B) The NRL would just be publishing the on cap money counted. As that suits their "there is nothing to see here, our comp is even" BS, and the NRL will just say TPA's are separate to the cap money and not paid to players to play for a club and blah blah the usual rubbish they come out with.

So publishing a players cap salary is pointless.

And I don't give a crap what people like Babyface above carry on with, players are paid off the cap in TPA to play for a club, it's been shown plenty of times. Certain clubs have an advantage here making the comp uneven. It's not a narrative, it's just a fact.

Denying it simply suits the narrative of the supporter with his head in the sand. Usually they follow one of the clubs with the advantage in TPA's.

Exactly.

Declaring what each club tells the NRL a player is getting paid wont solve anything.

Fans will just claim there are secret, undeclared payments.

Secret undeclared payments you say? Until a vagueish reference was made last year about 'whole of game' sponsorship, who knew anything about them?

it’d still be interesting to see how clubs are spending their legit $10mill and would give fans the opportunity to lol at $1mill players on $500k!

 

[Spot On]

There are threads on this already.

It is a no brainer. All salaries should be published.

Absolutely no reason why they should not be.

The carrying on is from the you.lot. When TPA figures we’re published last year, nobody believed the Roosters 300k figure which was my whole point.

 

[Chook Norris]

If it works for other sporting leagues, don't see why it wouldnt work for the NRL. More transparency could only be a good thing IMO. It would also promote more accountability in terms of how clubs spend their cap

 

[Valheru]

Declaring what players are paid would rip us off of the hilarious posts where people list what each roosters player is paid.

Transparency is also publishing nicks golf score cards

 

[jk13]

And any pokie pay outs

Or better still, lol at $500k players on $1mill - usually at clubs whose fans mindlessly bag the Roosters for cheating the cap.

Roosters don’t use their cap.

The players play for free.
The cap goes to charity.

Think how much more we’ll make for charities when we medically retire some of our older players.

Not Friend, Tupou and Boyd? Nooooo not them ;-)

Can I have a boat? Promise not say a word.

Andrew Gee, just walk away......

This is why they should bring in a points system. So it's not what they are actually being paid that is capped (although you could cap that as well just as now) but each individual player in each 30 man squad is assessed from 1 to 100 and the total is capped. This would also solve the TPA issue.

You’d have to have it weekly updated given the variation in form of some players!
