Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3004812, member: 2221"] You don't seem to grasp the difference between being a top club in a competition with, and a competition without the salary cap, but here we are... I'd like for the Broncos to be real challengers every year, but I know that isn't realistic, and winning a comp every 5 or 6 years would already be a great achievement. Try to tell that to a Man Utd or Barcelona board, they would laugh you out of the room! That's because the NRL is a level playing field, while the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, LPF, etc... are NOT. I didn't put words into your mouth, I explained to you what a level playing field (salary cap) would mean for teams like Madrid or Barca: Clubs have 10 million (give or take) to pay 30 players, which means that they either pay about $350K each player, or they pay a few top ones $1m and spread the rest over the remaining roster. In this level playing field, Real Madrid or Barcelona would not be able to pay every player $1m like they can now, so they would have to pick a few, but any other top player wanting that kind of money, would have to go to Levante or Espanyol instead of them. I highly doubt any player would take 1/3 of their value ([B]because that is all Madrid or Barca would be allowed to pay them, not because you said that[/B]) to be able to wear their jersey. P.S. I have tried to make myself as clear as possible, and already went on far too long in this discussion, which reminisces of a religious debate with Morkel. For everyone's sake, whether you (want to) get it or not, I'm stopping the circle jerk. [/QUOTE]
