El Diablo said:If Melbourne were payig money to Steve Turner right now would that be counted in their cap :?
El Diablo said:but he has no NRL contract. why would they be obliged to tell the NRL he was being paid?
El Diablo said:the NRL havent registered him as a Melbourne player
eelavation said:a figure would of been negotiated and agreed upon..I'm pretty sure that would still count in the cap as it's been registered by the NRL.
t-ba said:If he doesn't turn up to training and is completely AWOL from the organisation though, they don't have to pay him and it won't come from thier cap ;-)
eelavation said:ok in principle you may be correct..however if he's contract is registered by the NRL, isn't it counted?? ,....maybe it isn't I don't know :?
t-ba said:From what I understand of the Cap it's more a situation of Money payed than it is money agreed to in contracts.
If Stevy Boy doesn't even bother to turn up to training and run out for the Tweed/Burleigh/Ipswich and play half arsed football (Say like Ben Ikin for the Bears), he doesn't get paid, and the NRL doesn't add the money to the cap.
LeagueLegend said:A club specifies to the NRL a list of 25 players who are their top squad of players and will play 1st grade. Even if that players gets dropped to premier league they are counted in the 25 players for the Salary Cap. All of those contracts of the 25 players are equal to or less thanthe salary cap (in theory or not in the case of the clubs who have rorted it).
