Salary Cap ?

[Spank]

Ok so im just trying to get through my head how we could possibly be on the salary cap limit with only 2 genuine superstars in Farah & Marshall.... yet the Roosters are under the salary cap yet can afford Mason, Myles, OMelly, Anasta, Minnichello, Toupu & Fitzgibbon ??

Im not saying anybody is cheating or anything like that at all, all im asking is how the f**k can we have 2 superstars and be on the cap limit yet the roosters can have 7 and be on the same limit ?

Is it just me that sees something wrong with this picture hahaha Where is all our money going and why ?

You're forgetting the biggest superstar of them all, John Morris!

 

[madunit]

Morris, O'Hara, Galloway, Hodgson, Marshall, Farah, Payten, Halatau, would all be on decent money now, then you throw in players like Galea, Youngquest, Head, Collis, Lawrence, Fulton, Heighington, Gibbs, Harrison who would probably be getting a bit more than they're worth as well and hey presto, hello salary cap limit

 

[rupertpupkin]

Close to $900K on O'Hara, Morris and Galloway alone. The upgrades and extensions extending back to 05 for those still on the books since then would put a large dent on the remainder, apart from Marshall, Farah and Hodgson. McDonnell and Fitzhenry got extensions, also in 07. Fitzy was released though. Matt Head added in 08. But that's just for this season only. After that...?

I remember Noyce a couple of years ago saying something along the lines of how the Tigers will play by the rules regarding the cap, basically hinting that there are plenty of clubs cheating.

I would say he is correct.

It's probably tough to keep it under & that's why we are over at times even without any origin or kangaroo reps.
