Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3078006, member: 1899"] Judging salary caps is an exercise in futility. For instance, the Roosters are known for gambling on rookies, offering the highest amount so when they're mid-way through they can upgrade them on unders so when they make an impact like Latrell, they're on about half as much as they should be. So for instance, a player like Nat Butcher who Sydney got into a bidding war with Souths with would likely be on 250-300K, his brother Egan would likely be on around 200K and he hasn't even played a game yet but he's in the senior squad. What throws a lot of fans is that they have a high turnover of players. There seems to be this impression that there's an internal draft in the NRL and that every team has to wait their turn to sign a player. The thing is, the Roosters are constantly signing players and the struggling teams never seem to get a whiff of the big signings. What they lose sight of is that they release a lot of players too, so they're constantly creating room. [/QUOTE]
