Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2944666, member: 8272"] The cap isn't in place yet in the NRL. It's interesting with the AFL, their clubs had on average a 10 person coaching team and then about another 10 in high performance with about 15 in the football department with another five in list management. What the cap in AFL has forced them to do is look at all those roles and decide what is really needed. You have 9.4 million soft cap to spend and you can go over but then you get taxed and the tax gets divvied up for everyone. The AFL found that they didn't have a revenue problem but a cost problem, it was going up every year and more staff needed for clubs. The NRL is now looking at it the same. Clubs waste money it's simple doesn't matter if it is the NRL or the AFL- 50 people looking after 25 players is just ridiculous. Still debate in the NRL should it be the average of the top three or what the 6th most spend. Average would be about 8 million 6th most would be 7. The point that gets me always thinking is- there is no link between spending and success. In the NRL the top three spenders are Eels, Raiders and Dogs- Mmmmmmm. Our most recent premiers weren't even in the top eight for spending. Broncos spent about 7 million so they'd comfortably fit under the AFL cap but the NRL won't need to be that high. Av spend in the NRL is about 6 million. It's salaries that are high- does an assistant coach in the NRL really need to be on 400K a year? Head coaching salaries haven't changed in the AFL and I doubt they would in the NRL, average in the AFL is about 700k and it's stayed there. [/QUOTE]
