Warriors Salary Cap

[doggzfan4lyf]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned and answered before, it just hit me, Is the Warriors salary cap $4.3mil Aus or NZ dollars?
If it is in Aussie Dollars then they get $5.5mil NZ to spend? and if it is in NZ dollars they would get $3.3mil Aus to spend. How does it work?
This is a stupid question but no harm in asking

Cheers

this one has actually baffled me?

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

It's in Australian dollars, the players get paid in Australian dollars as well.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Straight cash homie

 

[bluesbreaker]

100000 new zealand pesos

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Storm players were getting 4.3 million pounds

:lol:
NZ Pesos!!!!

We have the same salary cap (AUD) as all the other teams.

Not sure what the cost of living is here compared to Australia, but I doubt the is much advantage if any.

One area we do have an advantage is in retaining Kiwis / Islanders as they tend to love Auckland, and with decent salaries for your average NRL player, there's no real reason to leave.

I figured that for the purpose of Salary Cap figures it'd be done in Australian Dollars. But I thought they were paid in local currency.

I think in terms of cost of living it works out about the same. Don't blame them for wanting to stay in Auckland. It's a nice city

Oh if we are talking currency, then of course they get paid in NZD. But as far as this thread goes, it ends up being the same amount as all the other clubs.

They are paid in kiwi fruits.

The AUD is about 1.30 NZD at present.

Thats a nice differential. 250k becomes 325k. I seriously doubt the cost of living in NZ is 30% higher than living in Sydney. This joint is the dearest place I've ever been to.

Auckland is by far the most expensive place to live in NZ, but it's got nothing on Sydney.

I've wondered how they actually work it out. Would the NRL give the Warriors a cap to work with once every financial year? More often? What happens if the exchange rate changes dramatically during this period? Would the there be some sort of back bearings to be taken? I'm sure there is a totally reasonable method that involves a lot of arcane accounting and the likes.

:lol:
They're actually Chinese.

imagine if there was a team based in PNG. A salary of 200k would have you living like a king.

...I am 100% sure the NRL doesn't take inflation, cost of living, etc differences into account. So yeah, you could potentially get a pretty sweet deal living here on an NRL contract.

Then how come you funny talking folk are heading over the ditch in record numbers taking all the scafolding and removalist jobs?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Lol removalist jobs. It's like the old kiwi saying goes "me not very bright but lift big things"

Well, those are mainly the losers who aren't educated enough to get decent jobs here. Or graduates who want to earn better coin to pay off their loans then move home; using Australia as a cash cow.
Personally, I'd never move to Australia. Beautiful country; way too many Australians.

Wish there were more like you hitman. Thats a very good attitude and a pity its not more widely endorsed in Un Zud.

Nah. Un Zud is ok. I go there for work 4 or 5 times a year. Beautiful country. Just very, very, very backwards. Like Queensland, but not as many f**kwits.
