Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 2878271, member: 8275"] I think there is a fair bit of truth in the argument that many rugby league fans have not yet adjusted to contract sizes under the increased salary cap we are going to see. Clubs will have about $2.4m more a season with as little as $500k of that going to the extra 5 players in the squad (from 25 to 30) with base wages going up to $100k and maybe 15 or so per squad on current $80k base wages getting a $20k increase will take an extra $300k chunk out of that salary cap increase. That extra $1.6m will, in many smart clubs IMHO make current $500k players probably see $750k in years to come. Some clubs in desperate need of rapid improvement will blow it all on a big name player or two (cough, Bulldogs, cough) but a club like ours will likely use to flesh out our team with more quality into an already quality team. Someone like Bird perfectly fits that bill. [/QUOTE]
