Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2347390, member: 1853"] Yes Nashy, it's because the clubs and the RLPA agree to have the salary cap. As I said in an earlier post if one club or the RLPA chose to challenge it in the courts (as Souths are rumoured to be considering should the Inglis deal not be accepted) then they would win - the cap would be ruled Restraint of Trade and be thrown out. I guess they have always considered that it is actually better for the competition and clubs overall to have a more even competition and clubs not going out of business - however the more topline players we lose the more the clubs/RLPA may change it's tune on this. It's the same situation in the AFL with their Player Draft and Salary Cap - they only exist because the parties agree not to challenge it legally. You may or may not remember a number of years back the RL was considering introducing a draft but the RLPA filed pre-emptive court action and had it ruled as Restraint of Trade so it never came into being.
