Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2664552, member: 2221"] If a (quality) player wants to stay at a club for life, but wasn't formed by that club, he would have to take less money, because the club wouldn't get a cap concession on him. I don't get what you don't understand about this? You want to give formation further incentive, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean loyalty shouldn't be rewarded as well, just not as much. For the sake of example, Milford could earn $1M at Canberra or the Broncos 7 years from now, but while Canberra would get a cap discount of say 50% (7yrs x5% +15% formation), giving them $500K to invest in the rest of their roster, the Broncos would have an extra 15% to account for under the cap, meaning they would only have $350K to invest further. Or both the Broncos and Milford could even decide to reduce that salary a bit to allow for more cap space, without putting the player out massively for wanting to play at a club near his family and everything he cherishes. Not rewarding longevity at all, would mean that for Milford to earn that kind of coin, he should suck it up at the Raiders, or accept that he will never come close to it in Brisbane (if they want to maintain a competitive roster). Formation should be rewarded, but not that much! [/QUOTE]
