I honestly hope that the spare cash we have in the cap is used for the transfer fee for Tom Briscoe.
I know transfer fee's dont count towards salary cap, but i dont see us having the cash to sign Inu/Burt/Jesus during the season and having a spare 300k around to pay the fee.
We are apparently under the cap before Albert got sacked, so I would put the money towards a proper investment than a makeshif fullback for a year.
Just my thoughts.
I'm not entirely sure that can be done. I'm not entirely sure on the numbers I will use in this post either but here goes.
The NRL Grant to clubs is $4 million to my understanding. The SC is currently $4.4 million.
That puts a club like the Sharks $400k behind already and may be why the cap doesn't get spent at the Sharks. That $400k is money the club has to find itself if it wants to work to the $4.4mill of the cap. Right?
I reckon The Sharks work on a self imposed $4 million cap because then they can just use the NRL grant and not worry about looking for the $400k extra.
Got me beat how they can find a transfer fee for Briscoe.
