Salary Cap Exemptions

[Dragon David]

NSW Chief Executive of the NRL, Andrew Abdo has indicated that the ARL Commisssion could give the green light to grant salary cap exemptions to clubs who recruit from rival codes. This is based on the Roosters endeavours to lure a Wallabies player to replace of Suaalii. The Roosters I am sure will get this exemption. They know how to go about these things. If they want something they go and get it by hook or by good governance.

Oops don't let uncle Nick hear you say that.
Bird and Flano already in trouble with him.

Sign Mitch Marsh.

The bison would kill it as a 2nd rower.

In fairness the NRL mentioned this 6 months ago that they would be looking to do this (salary cap exemption), if some teams are more proactive it aint their fault.

Well I guess I'm 6 months behind in creating this Thread but is has only just been confirmed by Abdo the other day. Oh well news travels slowly in my household. Is it fair to say that the Dragons have been tardy and not being pro-active like some of the other clubs? That wouldn't be surprising.

Hey that’s interesting. We snared the exciting Waratah’s schoolboys star Saveillo Tamale ( I think he will see NRL this year). So his contract costs are exempt. Haran nails it again on the front foot.

Uncle Nick doing his best "Quiet! Move on! Nothing to to see here!" act, and Weasel Wiedler lapping it up and encouraging Nick to bag the Dragons.

As Abdo said, "It won't be a free for all". They will let the Roosters get their man, and then stop the cap exemption citing some vague reasons when another club tries to sign someone.

NRL quick to accept that proposal for Ex-Rugby players being exempt whilst Saints wait on Cody Ramsey. If it was a Rooster with this disease he would be exempt by now.

I’m thinking - TJ Watt
We need some true grit.

He is a big fella is Trent Jordan Watt - 1.93m tall (6 ft 4 inches) and 114 kg a tough linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. We need a couple of guys with similar traits and stats.

Here you go, this is from April

"On Sunday, ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys upped the ante in the war of words between the two codes when he revealed the NRL was considering introducing salary cap exceptions.

The change would allow NRL clubs to target Wallabies stars, with V'landys clearly frustrated by Rugby Australia's aggressive recruitment strategy."

Peter V'landys says NRL could introduce salary cap exemptions

Rugby league greats Andrew Johns and Billy Slater have dismissed the NRL's plans introducing salary cap exceptions to attract rugby stars looking to switch codes, insisting union isn't a threat.

Good one Ayios, thanks. I guess we wait to see if the Roosters do in fact get that Wallabies guy and see how much they pay for him.
