Message: [QUOTE="Mister Wright, post: 2347435, member: 2160"] The NRL needs a cap, maybe a point cap would work better than a salary cap. When a player is off contract or entering the league for the first time (from Toyota Cup or ESL) they are awarded a point rating. Clubs could then fit players under the point cap, but can pay the players as much as they can get for them. For ex: A club is allocated 100 points to fit their 25 players in. Graduating Toyota Cup players might be valued at 1 or 2 points and marquee players or rep players might be valued at 10. A team like the Broncos could then have Lockyer who would be a 10 point player, but could earn well over a million dollars and not have it affect the team. Therefore it would be impossible to stack your team with marquee players, because if you had 5 of them they would take up half of your points cap. I'm not advocating 100 points for 25 players, I the points to explain my point. I think a well thought out points system could work and players could earn what they are worth. [/QUOTE]
