Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2664547, member: 1917"] Your premise was that players would get paid less. Except in rare circumstances, they won't and despite your very clear statement that they would get paid less, I still don't understand how. As things currently are, players are forced to move clubs all the time due to salary cap pressures. Best example of late is Sisa Waqa, who did actually have to move to Canberra. Unless you remove the cap, this kind of thing is going to still happen. You can't stop them all, but I want to stop the ones that would be a real travesty. We have had nothing to do with Milford. If we end up losing him, it's far less of a shame than if Luke Brooks or James Tedesco left the Tigers. And as I said earlier, if the idea is to promote parity and spread the talent, then allowing Milford to leave the Raiders and then become eligible for a discount does a massive dis-service to clubs like the Raiders. If, to protect those clubs, a player has to move clubs to get his market value then I don't care. Using my Glenn example, if Glenn does get some sort of concession, then the Raiders lose Milford to us, we get a concession on Milford, and they don't get to sign a Glenn who debuted for the Warriors because of the same concession. How do you propose the Raiders be competitive in that sort of environment? That is, after all, the point of the cap. To make sure those types of clubs have their share of talent. [/QUOTE]
