that's not true, the bigger the nrl GRANT the bigger the salary cap.
the issue is that the cap could not be determined until the clubs knew what their grant was going to be. they've now had to digest a figure they're not happy with, and are now waiting on the rlpa to negotiate a cap figure where the difference is paid wholesly and solely by the club. some clubs are fine with this the cap being higher eg penrith some not so much eg knights titans etc
Haha it's the same thing, and no the club grant actual $ amount hasn't been agreed. What's been agreed is 130% of the cap so if cap is $10mill clubs will get $13mill grant, if it's $8.3mill they'll get $10.7mill.
We've now got a three way battle; nrl trying to keep cap down to keep club grants down, clubs trying to get cap increased so their club grant is more, and players trying to get as much as they can.
