NYC costs have just shifted from $300k to pay 25 u20 players to paying 6 elite juniors. I think it will $50k minmum wage

Theyll save on airtravel as well. Rather than sending a team of 20yos across the country, now they only need to send them across the city...

NRL is about fan spectical, reserves is only about player development (with small reference to the old suburban comps). No need to send player interstate to develop when there is a perfectly good opposition the next suburb over.

Forget putting a cap on the ceiling, instead put one in the cellar, any team that can't afford/look for a Supercoach and entourage to build a competitive team shouldn't be invited . . . if Australia can only produce 10 such clubs so be it

There absolutely should not be a cap on Football Operations...and this is coming from a guy who supports a team who's dressing sheds are a shipping container.

expensive football departments have done nothing for the game. In fact they have taken us backwards because they have so much time on their hands they spend it coming up with new ways to make the referees job even harder.

I had read that the football dept cap is $5.7 mil but will increase with CPI. It won’t truly come into effect until 2020. Gives clubs 2 yrs to get there house in order.

I wouldn’t have a problem with that but I would be setting the bar very low. Also keep in mind that titans spent the lowest +$3mil. So if in 2018 the clubs get the extra 30% above salary cap ($2.5mil ish) add a bit of sponsorship or sales and any club with a decent CoE club could compete.

This is the NRL we're talking about m8

If you want answers from Todd good luck, they'll probably enforce it half way through a season.

NRL clubs agree to landmark football department salary cap

Aug 30, 2017, 8:02 PM

NRL clubs have agreed to a landmark proposal to introduce a cap on football club spending from next year.

A football department cap of $5.7 million will be introduced from next year after a meeting of club chief executives and NRL boss Todd Greenberg.

It was agreed that the figure will be lifted by four per cent in the next three years to enable staff to be given CPI salary rises.

Clubs will have until 2020 to get under the salary cap, and if they do not they will be taxed 37 per cent tax on whatever they overspend by.

Head coach and assistant coach salaries are included, as are training camps. Operational costs will also come out of the cap but not capital costs of centre of excellence.

NRL head of strategy David Silverton said it was an important move to curtail the rising costs of running club football departments.

“By putting the cap in place it will help ensure that our competition remains competitive and even,” Silverton said.

“It will also help ensure that NRL clubs do not overspend simply to keep up with other clubs.

“And that should help our clubs remain financially sustainable.”

The move will save the game about $10 million per season.

The Raiders, Canterbury and Parramatta were among the biggest spenders last year forking out about $8 million each to run their football programs.

While the likes of Brisbane, the Roosters, South Sydney, Melbourne, Penrith and Manly spent above the proposed $5.7 million.

Premiers Cronulla only spent about $4.5 million last year, while the Titans, the Tigers, St George Illawarra, the Warriors and Newcastle spent less than $5.7 million.

The football department cap will be reviewed in 2020.

They gave us "deliberately kicking the ball dead" which gave us the 7 tackle re-start which is awarded against teams who aren't trying to kick the ball dead

So all attacking kicks into the end goal area have been wiped from the game.

Hooray

Thanks, interesting that clubs scan spend more but will have to pay 37% of that spending to the NRL. I guess that tax will help pay for the massively increased integrity unit that will be needed to police football expenditure!

Will be interesting to see club wriggle around it with new non football titles for old jobs lol
