Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2361393, member: 1764"] What years are we talking though? I would have though the only questionable years would have been in the late 90s, and wasn't there some concessions back then due to players being on big contracts thanks to super league?[/quote:3i37ynpm] Yeah this is the thing that irks me a little. Everyone goes "oh, well look at the past Broncos teams". OK let's. 1992-1995 - salary cap rules were a joke. Given a car by a sponsor? Fine, not counted on cap. Given a "job" working in the club? Fine, not counted in the cap. Wife given a job with a sponsor? Fine, not counted on the cap. Broncos could basically pay their players peanuts and they'd still be millionaires (not literally millionaires, but would do very well). And it was completely legal under the rules of the NSWRL. Then Super League war began, and salary cap went to hell. Reconciliation in 1998 but all super league contracts were excluded from the salary cap. Funnily enough, once they all expired the Broncos started shedding players under the tighter salary cap rules. We've towed the line despite what critics try and sell. [/QUOTE]
