lol I forgot to include the grants to the 3 new clubs

15 million cap is decent but not high enough to get the best union stars

Why the f**k are you so obsessed with recruiting Union "stars"? I couldn't name you one Aussie Union "star"

And I would be horrified if any club would suddenly offer them "franchise" salaries, given how unlikely it would be that they could star in our code.

Currently clubs receive 130% of the salary cap. Its not broadcast revenue based.
However player wages in total will be linked to total league revenue (currently about 28%).

Thanks for that. I knew in the back of my mind I saw a % number expressed in an article about the RLPA. That was where I was getting it from. Cheers.

Nrl is the worlds elite rugby competition

It should have all the elite players in it leaving union with the left overs

Looking at England league gets the dregs and the nrl could benefit hugely

Some of the best English union players have come from a league background. Even offiahs kid is playing union not league

England RU comp salary cap has gone back to $13mill this year from $10mill last year (brought in as clubs were going bust). They cant afford that on their revenue. More clubs will go to the wall, just a matter of time.

Yeh but they will just go to France

Some of those English kids are good

Farrell would’ve been great in league

If nrl had high enough wages how many more players could we get from union globally

Problem is the few player at the top of Union tree would command top NRL wage. And are many clubs going to take that punt? Its unlikely. Why would you offer a Union star $1.5mill and hope he can convert, compared top offering a League star with a proven pedigree $1.5mill? Reality is current NRL cap matches anything Union can offer.

If the top wages were 3 million in league then it could happen

But would need a salary cap of 20 million

League is in competition with union for the best rugby talent around the world

If the salary cap is high enough then we could sign loads of them

Around the world there would have to be 100 union players that could do well in the nrl
