Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2732251, member: 1950"] Agree with you on the Titans - just reiterating the article was shit. The salary cap is a farce because the auditor sets a price floor for each player. e.g. Parramatta - you can't pay Israel Folau less than $800K, because that an equivalent, marquee player should be paid (e.g. Greg Inglis is paid at the Rabbitohs). What's market value? Especially in a market for individual services its highly highly subjective market - how much per year is a real chance to play for a premiership? What about living in your birthplace? Continuing on at your club of 15 years? Being coached by a top tier coach? Living close to your wife and family? Are these values published or just auditor discretion? So even if Israel accepts $400K per year because he loves Western Sydney, has 7 ARU funded houses and just wants to get back into the game, you can't pay him less than what the auditor says (though that story about Izzy now has a lot more context with the Parra board). Invisible hand my arse. [/QUOTE]
