Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2831873, member: 9008"] Agree sick of this contract bulls***. NRL needs to put its foot down and crack down on player managers getting too much power which the media feeds. Two solutions: 1) 2 Trade windows one about now for 1 week and two or three weeks post season. Ban movement talk from players or managers outside this time. Insure players for 80% current contract if career ending injury if off contract for a couple of years (less time if over 30) so players are fairly protected. Clubs can extend anytime but if they are hassling players maybe limit that windows before the open season. Any transfers are immediate. Will also help keep long term players at their club more. 2) Tie players contracts to % of cap so no uncertainty about cap in contract talks. Cap should vary based on revenues each year (with agreed minimums) which players need to take some responsibility for (and maybe a seat at the table for players union in NRL). If they promote the game and play exciting footy then they should share in the profits. As a bonus one of best ways to bring player behaviour in line is if other guys in the team are pissed off for costing them money. Also means one club players signed on long contracts don't get shafted if cap massively increases or players shed if cap lower than projected. [/QUOTE]
